Landforms & Living Patterns: Geography Basics, produced by Rainbow Educational Media, shows students how the earth's surface constantly changes by way of earth crust movement, volcanoes, weathering and glacier activity. Human activities that change the land include building dams and dikes, pursuing outdated tilling techniques that cause erosion, and draining swamps. Landforms affect the concentration of population, as well as agricultural and recreational activities. Natural resources often influence the economy of a region.
The included teacher's guide contains an introduction, objectives, summary of the program, review questions, discussion questions, suggestions for activities, glossary, bibliography, websites where students can find topic related information, and the complete program script. 22 minutes. Grades 4-8.
