Readiness TEKS 5.7B

Supporting TEKS 5.8A, 5.8B, 4.7A, 4.8A, 4.8B, 4.8C, and 3.7B

VOCABULARY• 5.7B Landforms

• Landform, Delta, Canyon, Sand Dune, Weathering, Erosion, Deposition

• 5.8A Weather and Climate• Weather, Climate, Precipitation, Temperature, Data, Humidity,

Typical• 5.8B Water Cycle

• Ocean, Fresh Water, Salt Water, Water Cycle, Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Accumulation, Runoff

Landforms• Weathering from wind, water, and ice can create magnificent

landforms on Earth!

River deltas are triangular formations caused by the depositing of sediment in the river when the flow of water slows down. The sediment is the result of erosion upstream.

Landforms

Canyons are formed by water cutting through the rock and carrying away sediment. Over time, the river or stream carves a deep formation in the rock.

©

Landforms

Sand dunes are formed from wind gusts that carry sediments in the air and deposits the grains of sand on top of one another until a large hill-like structure is formed.

©

Landforms

Glaciers are large sheets of ice that move slowly over time. Their large size and weight can carve smooth hills and valleys in the landscape.

Valley carved by glacier

Rapid Changes in Landforms• Sand dunes, canyons, deltas, and glacier valleys are formed

slowly over time.• Sometimes, the Earth can experience rapid changes from

mudslides, earthquakes, and volcanoes.

Climate is weather information that describes the weather for a specified length of time (usually 30 years) and will include information about  weather extremes.

Climate

Weather is the information that describes the conditions in the atmosphere at a particular time and place, including temperature, wind, cloud cover, precipitation, and humidity.
