Over the next few lessons, and as homework, your job is to find out about a natural resource of your choice

You need to find out:

• The name of your reource
• What the resource is used for
• How much of it is used
• If the resource is renewable or non-renewable
• How getting or using the resource affects the environment
• Three unusual things about your resource

Use maps, pictures, videos or diagrams if appropriate.

You should present your research as a post on your blog

Hi team, great to be back. Just a quick recap on what we have been looking at in class.

Year 13 - Evolution of Waihi Beach, including tectonic processes and 5 step diagram.

Year 12 - Relief processes in the Amazon Basin, including formation and coloured rivers. Climatic processes, including convectional rainfall and movement of the Inter-tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)

Everyone will add a link to the game as a comment to this post. Just click the links to play.

For your chosen feature you will need to:

• Show or describe their location.
• Describe the feature’s unique characteristics
• Explain how it was formed (include self-created diagrams if possible).

Some ideas:

You can create this in your choice of program. We will share them on the blog.
