Question

what do we see on earth’s surface where we live?
when we look around at the places where we live, one of the first things we might notice about earth’s surface could be examples of structures that people have created to help them do things, such as buildings, roads, and farms. these examples characterize the part of earth’s surface that we encounter every day.
if we look around to find places where there are no structures on the surface, we sometimes find plants growing on the surface. but what is earth’s surface like underneath all of these? if we could remove all these structures and all of these plants in all of these locations, what are some different things we would find? record your ideas below:

Explanation:

1. Above-ground natural features (without structures/plants): These are landforms shaped by natural processes like erosion, tectonic activity, and deposition.
2. Underground features: These are geological structures and materials that form the layers beneath Earth's surface, which support the surface landscape.

Answer:

1. Above Earth's surface (without structures/plants): Landforms such as mountains, hills, valleys, deserts, lakes, rivers, and oceans.
2. Underneath Earth's surface: Rock layers, soil (topsoil, subsoil, bedrock), groundwater reserves, mineral deposits, and underground caves/caverns.
