Chapter 2 GEOGRAPHY SKILLS HANDBOOK PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY QUIT A Living Planet Main Ideas What you will learn in this chapter Summary Summary of the chapter GeoGame Test your geographic knowledge by playing the GeoGame. Chapter 2 PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY A Living Planet Main Ideas Section 1: The Earth Inside and Out • The earth is the only habitable planet in the sun’s solar system. • The drifting of the continents shaped the world we live in today. Section 2: Bodies of Water and Landforms • Water covers about three-fourths of the earth’s surface. • The earth’s surface displays a variety of landforms. continued . . . Chapter 2 PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY A Living Planet Main Ideas Section 3: Internal Forces Shaping the Earth • Internal forces reshape the earth’s surface. • Internal forces shaping the earth often radically alter the lives of people. Section 4: External Forces Shaping the Earth • Wind, heat, cold, glaciers, rivers, and floods alter the surface of the earth. • The results of weathering and erosion change the way humans interact with the environment.

Chapter 2 GEOGRAPHY SKILLS HANDBOOK HOME PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY A Living Planet Summary The Earth Inside and Out • The earth’s interior is made up of a series of layers that float on one another. • The exterior of the earth is the crust. • The presence of air and water make life on earth possible. continued . . . Chapter 2 GEOGRAPHY SKILLS HANDBOOK HOME PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY A Living Planet Summary Bodies of Water and Landforms • Almost three-fourths of the earth is covered with water. • The hydrologic cycle circulates water. • Landforms on the land and under the ocean are similar. continued . . . Chapter 2 GEOGRAPHY SKILLS HANDBOOK HOME PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY A Living Planet Summary Internal Forces Shaping the Earth • Huge lithospheric plates on the earth’s crust move because of the circulation of magma. • Earthquakes and volcanoes are the results of plate movement. continued . . . Chapter 2 GEOGRAPHY SKILLS HANDBOOK HOME PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY A Living Planet Summary External Forces Shaping the Earth • Weathering and erosion cause changes in the earth’s surface and build soil. • Actions of wind, water, ice, and gravity shape the earth’s surface.
