As the geographer, you will be examining the land on each island.
Your
teacher will give you an observation journal to record your findings. Use the
sites on this page to answer the following questions about
the geography of
the islands of Aruba, Ascension, Galapagos, Prince Edward, and Shetland.
1.What is the soil like?In addition to those questions, keep your eyes open for other information relating to the physical characteristics of the islands. Some islands may have more information than others do, but the most important thing is that you write down everything you can! Be as complete as possible. It will help you later when you rejoin your group and compare information.
2.Are there hills and mountains?
3.What are the beaches like?
If you have trouble
with some of the vocabulary, use a geography glossary to help you define the
words.
