Landform Patterns

Landform Patterns Door Arthur cheung

1. Landform regions

2. Fold mountains

3. Fold mountains are created by two tectonic plates pushing against each other . Then there is layers of rock in the middle that builds up

4. An example would be the Appalachain mountains

5. Plains and Lowlands

6. They are created by rivers and glaciers over time. These glaciers contained eroded materiel that flowed and then solidified.

7. They are found around the coast lines near bodies of water such as the St. Lawrence Lowlands

8. Shield regions

9. They are formed by volcanic activity that solidified and became igneous rock. Then heat and pressure changed it into metamorphic rock.

10. For example the Canadian Shield.

11. Physical Conditions for Agriculture

12. The effect of climate

13. The climate has to be favourable to the plants and animals in order for it to survive.

14. Water, ice and wind are all vital parts for forming soil.

15. the effect of soil

16. You can tell of the soil is good for farming when it has dark and thick layers of soil

17. An example of bad soil for farming would be permafrost layers of soil

18. The effect of Natural vegetation

19. The decomposing plants help produce the first layer of soil

20. An example of good places for soil would be Broadleaf forests and grassslands

21. There are three different kinds of climates. There is polar climate , tropical climate and temperate climate.

22. There are different temperatures because the sun's rays are less concentrated at the poles than the equator.

23. There are different types of volcanoes like shield cone and the composite cone.

24. Volcanoes

25. Natural disasters

26. Volcanoes occur by the intense pressure of heat and magma pushing out and then eventually it erupts.

27. Earthquake

28. Earthquakes start by two tectonic plates rubbing against each other. Then it snaps and moves several centimeters and realeses alot of shock waves

29. the scientists use the speed of the earthquake to observe inside the earth

30. Tsunami

31. A tsunami occurs when there is an underwater earthquake then there is a tremor underwater that creates a circular pattern of water.

32. An example would be in December 2004 there was a really large tsunami.

33. The effect of climate

34. The effect of latitude

35. the effect of water bodies

36. There are maritime climates and continental climates.

37. Maritime climate is warm climates and cool winters. Continental climates are hot summers and cold winters
