The Changing Shape of Land and Water - 2nd Grade Science

Maps are a perfect way to show the shapes and kinds of land or landforms that are in an area. By mapping the land, people can see the shape, size, and how the surrounding bodies of water are shaped as well. Making a map is a clear way to demonstrate details about the land.

Three of the listed answer choices are naturally occurring landforms that would be mapped or could be modeled; a mountain, volcano, and canyon. These are all formed naturally from rocks and earth over many years through weathering and erosion. A skyscraper is a human-made building that is not a landform or naturally occurring.

The most realistic and reasonable answer choice for representing the shapes and kinds of land in an area would be to build a model, sketch a drawing, or make a map. These activities would be good representations of the earth. A model can be made out of clay or loose materials to look three-dimensional, a map is an accurate way to show people the land, and a drawing can be a great interpretation of how you see the shapes.

This statement is true. A map does show where things are and can help people locate places and landforms. Maps can represent mountains, deserts, valleys, and other landforms. Different kinds of maps even are three-dimensional and have texture to help you feel what the landforms are like.

The best material to use to create a model of a mountain needs to be something moldable, sturdy, and able to hold its shape. Modeling clay would meet all of these characteristics. The clay could be pressed into a mountain shape. It could even be painted or have other materials added to it to make it look more realistic.

The term landform is used in both science and geography. A landform is a naturally made feature of the Earth's surface. In the example, the student was assigned a volcano as a landform. Other landform examples include mountains, hills, valleys, and canyons.

A characteristic that all of Earth's landforms have in common is that they were created over time through natural processes. Landforms are changed Earth due to the process of weathering and erosion. As the Earth is changed, existing landforms change, and new landforms are created.

Maps are a perfect way to show the shapes of the land that is in an area. By mapping the land, people can see the shape, size, and how the surrounding bodies of water are shaped as well. If the map is local and, detailed LeBron can use this as a plan to follow when making the model.

Characteristics that all of Earth's landforms have in common is that they were created over time through natural processes, they are due to the process of weathering and erosion, and found all over the world. As the Earth is changed, existing landforms change, and new landforms are created. Landforms were NOT all made by humans and planned.

Each body of water is unique and can be represented visually. The most reasonable and realistic ways to represent these bodies of water would be by drawing a picture, creating a map, or building a model. Using a model can bring in another level of detail by adding in actual water. A map and drawing will give readers a chance to see how the water is shaped and surrounded by land.

This statement is untrue or false. Maps are a perfect way to show the shapes and kinds of water that are in an area. By mapping, a body of water, people can see the shape, size, depth, and how the surrounding land is shaped as well.

The best material to select would be the ice cubes. Glaciers are a solid made of frozen water like ice cubes. The ice cubes could be stacked or chipped into the shape of a specific glacier if needed.

Patricia needs to take her model from its current state to representing the wintertime. Patricia can put the model in the freezer to create ice instead of liquid water. In the winter, the lake could freeze over and become solid. These changes would make the lake appear to be in cold weather.

A characteristic of Earth's bodies of water is that they are all unique and have their own shape. No two bodies of water are the same. They are all shaped differently, have different plants and animals, varying depths, and are located across the globe.

The best materials to select would be the bowl, salt, sand, and water. The ocean is a solid made of saltwater with sand on the shores and bottom. The container can be filled with sand on the bottom and mix the saltwater to form the liquid portion. This would best represent the ocean as a model.

Not all of Earth's bodies of water are very deep. Some bodies of water, like a stream, can be very shallow. All bodies of water are indeed water, vary in location, and are unique in their size and shape.
