Geography From A to Z {Copywork & Illustration Pages} Part 2

Thank you so much for visiting Mama Jenn and downloading these Geography

copywork and illustration pages. I created the printables based on the book

Geography From A to Z by Jack Knowlton. The printables are designed for use

by 2nd and 3rd graders using the book as part of the My Father’s World Exploring

Countries & Cultures curriculum. The student copies the definition of the geo-

graphical term and then illustrates it in the space provided.

FYI: This is the second of a two part download. The first part can be downloaded

from the webpage sited below.

Please feel free to print this pdf file for your own

personal use. However, I ask that you abide by my

terms of use. The files are created for private and

non-profit use. Please do not sell or host these files

A jungle is a hot, humid, tropical rain forest. Most jungles are located

near the equator.

Jungle

A key is a very small, low, offshore island or reef. Keys are built from

coral and sand.


Key

A lake is a large inland body of water. Lakes are bigger than ponds,

and ponds are bigger than pools.


Lake

A marsh is a low, spongy wetland covered with thick, healthy

growths of tall grasses and reeds. A bog is a marsh filled with

stagnant water and dead, decaying plants. Boys are mostly found in

northern climates.


Marsh

A meander is a bend in the winding, looping course of many

lowland rivers. Sometimes, the river channel will break through

the narrow neck of a loop to create curved bits of water called

oxbow lakes.


Meander

A mountain is a rugged, upthrust mass of rock that looms high above

the surrounding land. Mountains are sometimes called mounts.

Mountaintops have several names: peaks, pinnacles, crests, or

summits.


Mountain

A mountain pass is an opening or gap in the mountain range that

serves as a path or road across the mountains.


Mountain Pass

A mountain range is a long, connected chain or mountains and hills.


Mountain Range

The mouth is the place where a stream flows into a larger body of

water. The mouth of a river is the end of that river.


Mouth

An ocean is:

1) An entire body of salt water that covers nearly three-quarters of

the earth’s surface.

2) Any one of the five separate oceans: the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian,

Arctic, or Antarctic.


Ocean

An ocean ridge is a massive mountain range lying at the bottom of

an ocean or sea. An ocean trench is a deep, narrow canyon in the

ocean floor. There are more mountains and more canyons

underwater than there are on dry land.


Ocean Ridge

A palisade is a bold line of high, steep cliffs. A long palisade that

joins two level areas of land is an escarpment.


Palisade

A peninsula is a large piece of land that juts far out into the water

and is almost surrounded by water. Florida is a peninsula.


Peninsula

A plain is a broad region of flat or gently rolling, treeless land.


Plain

A plateau is a large highland plain that rises sharply above the

surrounding land. Plateaus are also called tablelands.


Plateau

A promontory or headland is a high, prominent point on the rocky

coastline. Promontories are ideal sites for lighthouses.


Promontory

A headland or promontory is a high, prominent point on the rocky

coastline. Headlands are ideal sites for lighthouses.


Headland

Rapids are a stretch of stream or river where the fast-moving current

crashes against the rocks and boulders in its path. Seething, foaming

rapids are sometimes called white water.


Rapids

A reef is a narrow chain of rock, sand, or coral lurking just below or

just above the water.


Reef

A river is a long, large stream. Major rivers have many tributary

streams and rivers flowing into them. The region drained by a great

river and all its tributaries is called a drainage basin or watershed.


River

A sandbank or sandbar is an underwater ridge of sand built up by

tides and currents. Sandbanks and sandbars create areas of shallow

water called shoals.


Sandbank

A sandbar or sandbank is an underwater ridge of sand built up by

tides and currents. Sandbanks and sandbars create areas of shallow

water called shoals.


Sandbar

A sea is a large body of salt water that is smaller than an ocean. Sea

and ocean are often used interchangeably to refer to great bodies

of salt water.


Sea

A sea cave is a hollow chamber eater into a coastal cliff by the

pounding power of crashing waves. Sea arches and sea stacks are

also carved from these rocky cliffs.


Sea Cave

A seamount is an underwater mountain. A tall seamount whose

sharp, jagged peak is just below the surface of the ocean is a

pinnacle. A seamount with a flat top is called a guyot.


Seamount

A sound is a long, broad ocean inlet that is roughly parallel to the

coast.


Sound

A strait is a narrow waterway that connects two larger bodies of

water. Straits are also called channels, passages, and narrows.


Strait

A stream is a body of flowing water. A brook is a small stream, a

creek is medium-sized, and a river is the largest of streams. The high

sides along the edges of streams are called banks.


Stream

A swamp is a marsh with trees. Swamps usually contain more water

and deeper water than marshes. Deep, dangerous pools of

quicksand are sometimes found near swamps and marshes.


Swamp

A tundra is a huge, treeless plain bordering the Arctic Ocean.

Alpine tundras are found on mountain slopes at altitudes where trees

cannot grow.


Tundra

A valley is a gently sloping depression between hills or mountains. A

stream flows along the floor of many valleys. Small valleys with creeks

flowing through them are called hollows.


Valley

A volcano is an opening or vent in the earth’s crust through which

ashes, hot gases, and lava erupt. Lava is a fiery liquid formed of hot,

melted rock. As lava cools, it often forms cone-shaped mountains.


Volcano

A waterfall is a stream that flows over the edge of a cliff. A cataract

is a large, dramatic waterfall that plunges down from a high,

overhanging precipice. A cascade is a small, splashing waterfall that

tumbles down a mountainside in a series of steps.


Waterfall

A zone is a broad belt of climate and geography that encircles the

earth. There are five zones on the earth. The tropical or torrid zone is a hot, steamy region that lies just north and south of the equator.

The temperate zones are the two moderate regions that lie north and south of the tropical zone. Temperate

zones have hot summers, cold winters, and milder seasons in between.

The polar zones are the ice-cold regions at each pole. The northern polar zone, named the Arctic, is at the

top of the earth. The southern zone, name the Antarctic, is at the bottom of the earth.
