This is a topographical map of the United States. There are many landforms visible on the map and are either color-coded or textured. River, lakes, and oceans can be seen in blue. Green represents forests and wooded areas. Where the map looks rippled or almost three-dimensional are mountain ranges and elevation.
Which answer choice describes patterns of Earth's features that can be identified with this map?

Which answer choice describes patterns of Earth's features that can be identified with this map?
This map is an excellent choice for viewing all of the different features and landforms that the United States has to offer. Some parts of the country are mountainous, others have large bodies of water, and an ocean surrounds some. One pattern that can be observed from reviewing this map is that the midwest is devoid of forested areas and elevation. The center of America is primarily white, with some rivers crossing through. It is an area that is not mountainous and does not have vast forests. The Eastern and Western US both feature elevation and mountains.

This is a topographical map of the United States that shows the earthquake fault lines. The red, orange, and purple lines represent areas at risk for earthquakes. Based on this map what patterns can you describe regarding the United States' earthquake fault lines?

This topographical map allows the readers to see patterns in the Earth's landforms. The earthquake faults are red, orange, and purple and they can be seen focused on the Western side of the United States. There are some earthquake faults off the coast of Mexico, Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi, but they are primarily located on the West Coast. Using maps like these are beneficial for identifying patterns and finding details to describe them.

This is a topographical map that identifies where there are active wildfires. Anywhere there is a red, black, purple, or blue dot there is a burning fire. How could the locations of the fires be described?

This topographical map shows the active fires that are taking place in the United States. A circle on the map represents each fire. When looking at the map, there are no fires on the East Coast or in the South. The fires are focused on the West Coast, in the Midwest, and the Southwest United States. There are patterns to the locations of the fires. Where they are grouped may represent something happening in that part of the world, a change in the environment, or the type of landscape found in that area. These patterns can be explored to find connections and make predictions.

These maps show the before and after of a wildfire. The dark green represents dense forest, red areas are burnt, and the white areas are active fires. Based on the provided maps, how can you describe the fires?

These maps provide a shocking visual of how an area can change so quickly. These pictures were only taken about two weeks apart, but there is such a difference. The fires were burning on the Eastern or right side of the first and are continuing to burn on the Northern or upper area of the forest. If there are other forests in the area or this fire reoccurs, the maps can be studied for patterns and connections.

Patterns can be used as evidence to support an explanation.
Patterns can be used as evidence to support an explanation.
This statement is true. An example of using patterns as evidence to support an explanation is looking at maps and finding connections or repetitive data. If a researcher looks at an ariel map of an island over 100 years and it is consistently eroding, predictions can be made about the future erosion of the island. If a city planner is requesting funding for the island to be restored the patterns of erosion would support the explanation and request.

This map is an excellent choice for viewing all of the different features and landforms that the United States has to offer. Some parts of the country are mountainous, others have large bodies of water, and an ocean surrounds some. One pattern that can be observed from reviewing this map is that the western US has many areas of elevation and large forested areas. The midwest portion of America is primarily white, with some rivers crossing through. It is an area that is not mountainous and does not have vast forests. The southern US has many forested areas but is lacking elevation.

Some parts of the country are mountainous, others have large bodies of water, and an ocean surrounds some. If someone is looking to move to a place with forested and wooded areas they could move to the western US, southeastern US, or the northeastern US. All of these areas are featured in green which indicated forests and woods.

True or False: Some kinds of landforms, such as mountains and valleys, don't change.
True or False: Some kinds of landforms, such as mountains and valleys, don't change.
The statement in the question is false. Landforms are always changing, and patterns can be seen in their structures over time. Mountains are massive, so they don’t seem to change, but they are changing all the time. Slowly, over many years, tall, pointed mountains can be worn down until they are lower and more rounded.

NASA has captured information and created a global map of forest height from around the world. (The image is pictured below.) What pattern can be identified from the map?

This map is an excellent choice for viewing all of the different continents and their concentration of tall trees in one visual. Some continents have areas with broad groupings of high canopies while others are bare and colored in white to represent no trees. A pattern that can be identified from this map is that South America has an enormous concentration of tall trees. Northern Africa has no colored parts signifying no tall trees, Australia has some tall canopies on the East coast. Still, it is overall bare, and North America has many mixed height forests.
