Check understanding
- Use a map to identify patterns in the location of mountains, rivers, lakes, and other features
- Describe patterns observed (e.g. mountains in chains, rivers flow from high to low ground)
- Explain that Earth's features result from processes like erosion, volcanic activity, and plate movement over long periods
