needles for leaves ,dont fall, live in colder climates
needles for leaves, fall in autumn live in cold climates
colourful leaves, fall in autumn, cold climates
10
These are the rocks formations
YEP!
Sedimentary-weathering and erosion
Metamorphic-heat and pressure (from igneous or sedimentary)
Igneous- cooling lava or magma
11
What is the difference between
Weather
and
Climate
?
weather is short-term conditions and climate is long-term
climate is heat and weather is cold
weather is long-term and climate is short-term

What is the importance of rocks and minerals to our daily lives?
they are helping us build our houses
the building blocks in which life and society is built upon
they are building materials
they are found in everything
13
Explain the theory of plate tectonics.
the earth is made up of a bunch of plates on water
the earths outer shell is made of individual plates on magma
the earth's outer shell is made of individual plates on lava
the earth is made up of one large plate that moves
14
Don't forget these extra Details ( Just Press Ok)
the ozone layer is a layer that protects us from UV rays

forests with a large variety of vegetation
taiga trees
deserts
18

continental
and
maritime
climate.
Continental- not near ocean, high temp. range & low precip.
1 and 2
maritime- high precip & temp, continental low precip & temp

trees with needles that fall in the autumn
22
How to create a climate graph?
temp on left bars degree celsius located on left in 20 range
all of this
precip on right in bars, mm located on right 5mm range
green zone best for farming at 6 degrees celcius
23

a rock is manmade and a mineral is naturally occurring
there is no difference
