This is a photo of a swamp. A swamp is a low-lying area that collects water. Water can be found everywhere on Earth though! Water can be found underground, in oceans, seas, ponds, lakes, rivers, glaciers, streams, our atmosphere, and more. This is just one location to find water on Earth.

Each body of water is unique and can be represented visually. The most reasonable and realistic ways to represent these bodies of water would be by drawing a picture, creating a map, or building a model. Using a model can bring in another level of detail by adding in actual water. A map and drawing will give readers a chance to see how the water is shaped and surrounded by land. All of the listed answer choices would be good ways to represent bodies of water.

Maps are a perfect way to show the shapes of the land that is in an area. By mapping the land, people can see the shape, size, and how the surrounding bodies of water are shaped as well. If the map is local and, detailed LeBron can use this as a plan to follow when making the model.

A characteristic of Earth's bodies of water is that they are all unique and have their own shape. No two bodies of water are the same. They are all shaped differently, have different plants and animals, varying depths, and are located across the globe.

The most realistic and reasonable answer choice for representing the shapes and kinds of land in an area would be to build a model, sketch a drawing, or make a map. These activities would be good representations of the earth. A model can be made out of clay or loose materials to look three-dimensional, a map is an accurate way to show people the land, and a drawing can be a great interpretation of how you see the shapes.

The best and most reasonable way to stop wind or water for changing the shape of the land would be to plant shrubs and trees to hold the soil together. Tree roots stabilize and secure the soil helping it from being eroded. This process can help control erosion (the movement of broken-down materials), so there are fewer changes to the Earth.

The best and most reasonable choice for slowing wind and water from changing the shape of the land would be to bring in new sand or dirt to fill in areas that have started to wear away. Erosion is the movement of materials that have been broken down, so bringing in new sand or dirt can help slow the water and wind from changing the landform.

Erosion is a prolonged process, but the results are extraordinary. The clues in the text that let readers know this is a slow-moving process is "slowly," "were a towering mountain range millions of years ago," "erosion over time," and "used to be." These words and phrases all hint to something taking a long time to happen. Some processes on Earth happen quickly, but not erosion!

Earth has both liquid and solid water present. An example of how both of these forms can be found on Earth is that hail is solid, and rain is a liquid. They are both water but just in different forms. Students will learn about other forms of water and how they change in upper grade-levels.
