A mountain range of the world
Pick a photo from the photo bank and describe it. Try to imagine what the scene would be like as the seasons change. What animals and plants live there? Where in the world is it? What geological facts can you find out about the area?
Discussion points
- Mountains are formed in various ways: vulcanism, tectonic uplift and glaciation.
- Vulcanism (volcanic activity) causes the build-up of volcanic rock from layers of cooling lava and ash.
- Tectonic uplift is where landmasses slowly collide together and push each other up.
- Glaciation is where the land is carved out by glaciers forming valleys and leaving mountains.
