Hello Researchers:
In our last lesson we learned how once upon a time the earth was one big land mass, Pangaea. Today we will learn how Pangaea broke into pieces and became the seven continents we know today. We will also take a look at the forces that shaped the land of the Western Hemisphere and how they continue to do so today.
Questions:
1) According to the article, how can we summarize the land of the Western Hemisphere?
2) Use continental drift in a short paragraph about the breaking apart of Pangaea.
3) How might land once covered by glaciers look different from places that never had glaciers?
4) Write a description of how natural forces might change the Western Hemisphere in the future.
