1. Wednesday, January 7, 2015 Castle Learning Week #19 Aim: Landforms are the result of the interaction between erosional and uplifting forces. Objective: You will be able to use the ESRT to differentiate between landscape regions based on elevation and type/age of bedrock throughout NYS. Do Now: What type of landscape regions are A, B and C?

2. A is a mountain : Note the uplift and contorted layers B is a plateau : High elevation, but flat, level layers C is a lowland : Flood plain, flat, low elevation, meandering stream

4. Exit Summary: Give a specific NYS location for each type of landscape region and explain the two key factors responsible for identifying each type. NYS Landscapes

8. Landscape: Forms from the interaction of erosional and uplifting forces.

9. Mountain: A large mass of rock that rises above its base.

10. Plain: A level expanse of land, usually devoid of trees.

11. Plateau: An elevated level, expanse of land.

12. Dissected Plateau: An elevated expanse of land broken by a river or canyon.

13. Stream Drainage Pattern: The path of streams/rivers in a watershed.

14. Procedure A: Area Elevation High Elevation = Red[Mountains] Middle Elevation = Yellow [Plateaus] Low Elevation = Green [Lowlands/Plain] Color AND label map on page 126 using page 2 of your ESRT as a guide HIGH MEDIUM LOW

16. Exit Summary: Give a specific NYS location for each type of landscape region and explain the two key factors responsible for identifying each type. NYS Landscapes

17. Procedure B: Surface Drainage Systems Trace and label watersheds listed on page 124 on Map 2 on page 126 using page 3 of your ESRT as a guide.

19. Procedure C: Geographic Ages and Bedrock Geology Use page 3 of your ESRT to list the age and type of bedrock at each specified location. For example: High/mountain elevations are: –Age: Middle Proterzoic –Type: Intensely Metamorphic

20. Type Sedimentary Metamorphic Intensely Metamorphic Age Period/Era
