    The document provides information about 5 famous rock formations from around the world. It explains how each was formed through natural geological processes such as volcanic activity in Ireland's Giant's Causeway, erosion of sandstone in Australia's Uluru, weathering and erosion in Mexico's Hoodoos at Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Wilderness Area, glacial activity carving Norway's fjords and wedging the Kjeragbolten boulder, and receding flood waters shaping Horseshoe Bend in the United States. Students are tasked with researching these and other notable landforms globally.

    TASK: COMPLETE FORMATION EXAMPLE 1 AND THEN PICK FOUR OTHER LANDFORMS AND
    COMPLETE THE CHART BELOW…
    NAME THE EXPLAIN HOW THE PROVIDE A VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF THE FORMATION.
    FORMATION AND LANDFORM WAS
    WHERE IT IS FOUND FORMED?
    1.Giant’s Causeway, North a splendid show of the
    Ireland aftermath of a particular
    kind of volcanic activity, it’s
    formed when a flood of lava
    oozed from fissures in the
    earth
    cut a deep gorge in the rock,
    which wraps around in a
    2. Horseshoe Bend breathtaking horseshoe
    shape. It was created by
    receding waters of the Flood.
    Around 500 million years
    ago, the whole area became
    3. Uluru aka Ayers Rock covered in sea. Sand and
    mud fell to the bottom and
    covered the seabed,
    including these fans. The
    weight of the new seabed
    turned the fans into rock.
    The sandy fan became
    sandstone (Uluru) while the
    rocky fan became
    conglomerate rock
    (Kata Tjuta).
    4. Hoodoos at Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Weathering is the breaking
    Wilderness Area (Mexico) down of rock and erosion is
    the transportation of that
    broken rock. These two
    forces of nature work in
    concert to sculpt Bryce
    Canyon's hoodoos. The main
    natural forces of weathering
    and erosion that create the
    Hoodoos are ice and rain
    massive glaciers formed the
    Norwegian fjords and
    5. Kjeragbolten (Norway) mountains, and in this
    process the Kjerag boulder
    was wedged into a mountain
    crevasse at 1.000 metres
    above sea level.
