Atmosphere
The atmosphere is the air surrounding our
planet. It is made of a mixture of gasses
and water vapor, held in place by gravity.
People who study the atmosphere are called meteorologists. The atmosphere regulates
the temperature on Earth by absorbing some
of the heat from the sun.

Biome
A biome is a large ecosystem where plants,
animals, people, and other lifeforms live in a
certain type of climate. The creatures that
live in a biome are particularly suited to live there, sometimes with wild adaptations!
Some common biomes include: desert,
rainforest, tundra, grassland, and deciduous
forest.Trilliummontessori.org

Continent
A continent is a large area of land on the
Earth’s surface. The Earth currently has 7
continents: North America, South America,
Africa, Europe, Asia, Antarctica and Austrasia or Oceania. Continents can also
include islands surrounding the larger area
of land.

Desert
A desert is a dry biome, receiving less than
10 inches of rainfall a year. Some deserts
are very hot during the day and cold at
night, and some are cold all the time. It is hard to live in the desert, but many plants,
animals, and people do!

Expedition
An expedition is a journey made by a group
of people who set out to explore and
discover a new place. Throughout history,
humans have been curious and wanted to explore the earth. This requires courage as
well as years of preparation. We are still
sending expeditions today!

“Fall”
Fall, also known as Autumn, is one of four
seasons. In many countries, fall is the time a
new school year starts and crops are
harvested. In the temperate forest, the leaves on the trees change color and then
fall off. When it is autumn in the Northern
Hemisphere, it is spring in the Southern
Hemisphere.

Globe
A globe is a picture of a planet’s surface
drawn on a sphere. Most globes are drawn
to scale, creating a small model of the
planet. Earth globes can show physical features like mountains, rivers, and forest
or political countries.

Hurricane
A hurricane is a type of storm that forms
in the Atlantic basin (including the
Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico). The
season for hurricanes is from June to November. A hurricane is a giant spiral of
clouds, rain, and wind that can bring severe
damage to anything in its’ path.

Isthmus
An isthmus is a narrow strip of land joining
two larger bodies of land. There is water
on either side of the isthmus. Sometimes,
an isthmus is called a “land bridge”

Jungle
The jungle is a tropical forest biome, also
called a rainforest. The daytime
temperature is hot and humid. Jungles
receive many feet of rain a year. So many things live in the jungle, that it is difficult
to walk through!

Kettle
A kettle is a hole in the ground formed by
melting glacier ice. Most kettles are circular
in shape, and can become filled with water,
resulting in a kettle lake. Some kettles are as wide as 8 miles across!
Trilliummontessori.org

Lake
A lake is a large body of water that is
surrounded by land. Most lakes are fresh
water, but a few are salty! Lakes have
still water, but it is common that rivers flow into or out of them. Some lakes are
humanmade to produce electricity or use for
farming and drinking water.

Mountain
Mountains are where the earth is pushed
up, creating tall mounds. A mountain range
is a large group of mountains in the same
place. The summit is the highest point on a mountain that a human can climb to. As you
climb up a mountain, it gets colder,
sometimes cold enough for snow!
Trilliummontessori.org

Northern Lights
The northern lights are auroras found
around the Arctic, a large flickering light in
the sky caused by the sun’s radiation. They
come in red, green and occasionally blue, and can only be seen at night. The northern
lights are called aurora borealis. The
southern lights are called aurora australis.

Ocean
An ocean is a large body of salty water
between continents. Oceans cover 70% of
the Earth’s surface and are home to many
plants, animals, and other organisms. The ocean is pulled by the moon’s gravity and
creates tides as the Earth rotates. The
ocean surface has waves created by wind.

Pollution
Pollution is when things are added to the
environment that are harmful to the plants,
animals, and other lifeforms that live there.
Pollution can be in the air, water, or land. Much of the plastic we use ends up as
microscopic pollution in the ocean water.

Quartz
Quartz is a very common type of mineral,
often embedded in rocks. Purple quartz is
called Amethyst and is a gemstone. Sand is
often full of tiny quartz pieces. We use quartz to make digital screens and glass.

River
A river is a large flowing body of water.
Rivers begin high in the mountains as small
streams and get bigger on their way
downstream. Many people live near rivers for fresh water to drink, cook, bathe, and
grow food. Some rivers flow underground!
Trilliummontessori.org
![Page 20: Geography A-Z Vertical EDITED](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011901/61d653b31ff5a874ec611f6a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
South Pole
The South Pole is the southernmost point
on the Earth, on the continent of
Antarctica. You can tell you are at a Pole
because the stars will never dip below the horizon. The South Pole is very hard to
get to, it’s over 1,000 miles inland over
mountains, glaciers, and ice.

![Page 21: Geography A-Z Vertical EDITED](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011901/61d653b31ff5a874ec611f6a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Tundra
The tundra is a biome with cold
temperatures, few trees, and mostly frozen
water. The plants that grow here are
grass, lichens, and moss. The tundra is a challenging place to live. Some animals
hibernate or grow thick white fur to
survive.
Trilliummontessori.org
![Page 22: Geography A-Z Vertical EDITED](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011901/61d653b31ff5a874ec611f6a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Urban
An urban area is where many people live,
work, and play. The buildings are close
together, and there may be very little or no
natural landscape. Large urban areas are called cities, and smaller ones are called
towns. A large, connected urban area
(usually developed around a city) is called a
metropolitan area.Trilliummontessori.org
![Page 23: Geography A-Z Vertical EDITED](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011901/61d653b31ff5a874ec611f6a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Volcano
A volcano is an opening in the Earth’s crust
where lava or hot ash comes out from deep
underground. When a volcano is erupting,
it is active. Otherwise it is dormant, or in some cases, extinct. Volcanoes are also
found on other planets.

Wetland
A wetland is an ecosystem with both water
and land, creating huge biodiversity of
plants, animals, and other lifeforms. Types
of wetlands include: bog, marsh, estuary, swamp, or bayou. Many wetlands are
protected.
Trilliummontessori.org

Xenolith
A xenolith is a rock fragment surrounded by
another rock. This is most common in
igneous rock (from a volcano), when one
rock gets stuck in the magma flow, but can also happen in sedimentary rock. Scientists
study xenoliths to learn about the inside of
the Earth.

Yurt
A yurt is a kind of home or shelter built by
humans, and is a traditional shelter for some
people of central Asia. Yurts are portable
round tents with a domed roof, and traditionally made from wood and animals
skins or felt. Modern yurts may be built
permanently on a wooden platform, and
covered with canvas. Trilliummontessori.org

Zephyr
A zephyr is a nickname for a wind that
blows from the west to east, or “west
wind”. A zephyr is traditionally considered
the most favorable and gentle of the winds. The name “zephyr” comes from Greek
mythology.

high in the mountains as small
streams and get bigger on
their way downstream. Many
people live near rivers for
fresh water to drink, cook,
bathe, and grow food. Some
rivers flow underground!

The south pole is the
southernmost point on the
Earth, in the continent of
Antarctica. You can tell you
are at a Pole because the
stars will never dip below the
horizon. The South Pole is
very hard to get to, it’s over
1,000 miles inland over
mountains, glaciers, and ice.

An urban area is where many people live, work, and play. The
buildings are close together, and there may be very little or no natural landscape. Large urban
areas are called cities, and smaller ones are called towns. A large, connected urban area
(usually developed around a city) is called a metropolitan area.

A xenolith is a rock fragment surrounded by another rock. This
is most common in igneous rock (from a volcano), when one rock gets stuck in the magma flow,
but can also happen in sedimentary rock. Scientists study xenoliths to learn about
the inside of the Earth.
