Study Notes
Observations and Inferences
- An observation is a detailed and accurate description of something made using the senses
- An inference is a statement made about something based on observations and prior knowledge
Natural and Human-made Features
- Natural features: come directly from the environment and are shaped by the environment (e.g. wind, rain)
- Human-made features: created or changed by humans; do not occur naturally in the environment
National Parks
- Grand Canyon National Park: features landforms, rocks, and water
- Hawaii Volcanoes National Park: features landforms, rocks, and water
- Both parks can be compared by their features
Water Reservoirs
- Oceans: liquid
- Glaciers: solid
- Groundwater: liquid
- Lakes: liquid
- Atmosphere: gas
- Rivers: liquid
- Reservoirs can be compared in terms of their sizes
