| Central Question: Why is the earth's surface shaped like it is? What processes have caused it to be that way? Guiding Thought Question: Why is it inaccurate to say that the earth is a perfect sphere? Today's Learning Objective: Students will be able to explain the principles of erosion and how the earth is continually shaped. Students will take notes on the types of erosion and then conduct a map and field study to find evidence of different types of geomorphology |  |

It's inaccurate to say that the Earth is a perfect sphere because there are different types of geography around the world which have different elevations.

It is not accurate to say that the earth is a perfect sphere because its surface is constantly changing in shape due to erosion and other natural processes that chip away at land masses.

It is inaccurate to say that the earth is a perfect shape because, the earth is constantly shifting and growing and high/low lands also affects the shape.

It is inaccurate, because there have been several images from space showing that the earth isn't a sphere.

Because with erosion the earth is changing and getting cast away through wind and water so that the continents are always changing which causes the earth not to be a perfect sphere

The earth has changed by unnatural and natural ways. For Instance erosion is one of the huge factors that impacted how the earth shaped today. Wind, water, or the earth itself has moved different parts of earth.

Because over years the Earth's surface changed so it would make sense that the shape could change too.

Central Question: it’s shaped like this because of gravity?

The world has many physical features such as mountains, hills, deep trenches, and many other things. These physical features make the Earth's sphere shape imperfect.

It’s inaccurate to say it’s a perfect sphere because the earth is not a sphere and the earth is always changing shape.

The earth isn’t a perfect sphere because of natural processes like erosion and the tectonic plates crashing together to create mountains.

The earth’s atmosphere is shaped like it is, because of all the environmental changes that it has gone through. Like erosions and continents still changing shapes.

Earth is a not a smooth or flat surface. It has many different textures and bumps (mountains, hills, volcanoes, valleys) etc which could cause the shape to be different. It is not a perfect sphere. Throughout its existence earth has changed so it makes sense it’s shape changes too. Erosion and wind and other natural occurrences have probably had a factor in why the earth is shaped the way it is.

it is inaccurate to say the earth is a perfect sphere because some physical features (mountains, valleys, plains, etc.) have a different elevation than others.

Because the earth has many trenches and mountains. The earth does not have a flat surface and erosion causes dips and hills.

The mountains are not a perfect sphere. There are different elevations on the earth and it’s always moving and changing as years pass.

It is inaccurate to say that the Earth is a perfect sphere because the surface of the earth is covered in mountains and ridges and it isn't all the same elevation everywhere.

Erosion and tectonic plates moving and causing geographical features

Because the earth is flat.

Erosion and landscape due to tectonic plate positions creating geographical features such as mountains.

the earth is not a perfect sphere due to gravity, erosion and weather. Leave a Reply. |
