| 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 |  |

The ocean's depths and the mountains make the earth's surface uneven and not actually round.

The earth has so many depressions and mountain ranges and trenches that it isn't really perfect in any way, but the force of earth's rotation makes it kind of squashed into semi-oval-sphere-thing (the poles force upward)

The valleys, mountains, trenches, etc. make the earths surface not entirely round

A perfect sphere is perfectly round. Earth has mountains, trenches,and oceans which are not on the same topographical level, meaning it is not perfectly round and thus not a perfect sphere.

The Earth is not a perfect circle due to the physical landmarks of the world such as mountains and trenches.

The Earth is shaped the way it is because of the Earth's gravitational pull.

we cant say the earth is a perfect sphere because we have land masses like mountains, hills, and plateaus that could make the earth uneven

Different parts of the world have a stronger gravitational pull, pulling parts of the earth more in then other areas

because the earths surface isn't flat there are mountains and deep oceans

Because the mountains and valleys are not smooth. Also, gravity has different strengths in different parts of the earth and that affects the height in different areas.

The ocean's around the world and the mountains, the waters cause erosion and create deep coves and things, and mountains bring height to the surface.

It is inaccurate due to mountain ranges, trenches, ocean depths, and many other aspects that make up the Earth 8/29/2018 09:04:57 am
The earth is flat.

The poles affect the gravitational pull on earth which affects the shape of the earth

If the earth wasn’t a sphere then it wouldn’t rotate and so the nights and days would be the same everyday and the gravity is the thing that changes the shape of the earth. The mountains also shape the earth. 8/29/2018 09:06:09 am
The land forms that have formed along with the things that shaped them. Rotation and gravity have helped to shape it. But land forms such as mountains, plateau's, canyons, etc. make earth the weird shape that it is.

because of the mountains, the weather, gravity,of people

Weather, trenches, and then the ocean is basically one large series of trenches. So its like a sphere with a lot of divet and some stuff sticking out. I know that's super sciency

The earth is not perfectly round because of the physical landmarks.

The Earth cannot be a perfect sphere because as tectonic plates move, they will shift the land as well.

because there are many different levels on the earths surface like the mountains and the deep oceans and space does weird things

The plates are constantly shifting so the shape of the world is constantly changing, it can not be a perfect sphere.

The earth is shaped the way it is because we have mountains, valleys, and depths of oceans.

The earth constantly erodes and also builds on top of its self. Tectonic plates also forms mountains and crevasses so the earth can't be a perfect circle.

The Earth is not perfectly round because of the various physical landmarks such as mountains and trenches, and the different gravitational pulls in certain areas. Leave a Reply. |
