How many people on earth get their fresh water from rivers that come from mountains?: How many people on earth get their fresh water from rivers that come from mountains? a. half of all the people on the planet b. everyone on the planet c. only the people that live in mountainsMountains are one of the world’s greatest sources of biodiversity. In the Andes mountains farmers grow almost 4 000 different kinds of a single type of vegetable. What vegetable do you think it is?: Mountains are one of the world’s greatest sources of biodiversity. In the Andes mountains farmers grow almost 4 000 different kinds of a single type of vegetable. What vegetable do you think it is? a. Brussels sprouts b. lettuce c. potatoes Do you think that people that live in mountains are likely to be poorer, richer or the same as people that live in lowland areas? : Do you think that people that live in mountains are likely to be poorer, richer or the same as people that live in lowland areas? a. more likely to be richer b. more likely to be poorer c. more likely to be the sameBecause of global warming, changes are occurring in mountain glaciers. How do you think that glaciers are changing?: Because of global warming, changes are occurring in mountain glaciers. How do you think that glaciers are changing? a. they are melting faster b. they are getting bigger c. they are running out of fishSeashells on mountaintops?: Seashells on mountaintops? How are mountains created? Folding = the earths forces ‘ripple’ the rock, like tissue paper! Faulting = the earths forces break the rock, when parts of the plate are moving at different speeds, like a crack in the plaster! Slide8: Sheep Mountain, Wyoming, an example of a folded mountain pushed up by sideways compression An example of a folded mountainSlide9: An example of a faulted mountainHow are mountains dissapearing? : How are mountains dissapearing? WEDGy! W = Weathering (breaking down into smaller pieces) E = Erosion (moving from one place to another) D = Deposition (the depositing of material somewhere else) G = Gravity takes particles down the mountain!A river runs through it…: A river runs through it… How does a river running down the mountain weather, erode and deposit materials? Where does gravity take the water? How sharp is the peak? What ELSE causes mountains to disappear?Slide12: Mount St Helens (Washington) What a difference a week makes… Where in the world are mountains?: Where in the world are mountains?The Seven Summits: The Seven Summits The fourteen tallest mountains in the world are all in the Himalaya’s.
