Surface Water Landforms Google Earth Scavenger Hunt

In this Earth Science digital activity, students will locate specific water eroded or deposited landforms. The activity will enhance their understanding of Geo Coordinates. Students will use Google Earth and become more proficient with its use. Students will see actual satellite views of their vocabulary words instead of just memorizing the definitions. Vocabulary words that will be reinforced are Meanders, oxbow lakes, sediment, river types (old, mature, young), delta, deposition, erosion, alluvial fan, and flood plain. When students are finished with this activity they will perform better on their assessments or you can use this activity as their assessment on water landforms.

This resource contains both instructions and works for using the Google Earth Web or Google Earth Pro versions.
