Provide 3 short paragraphs, of about 80 words each, where in your own words you will make a statement about the following points:
1. Assume that you are teaching an introductory Earth Science course and that you have just assigned Chapter 6 of the text. A student in the class asks why glaciers, deserts, and wind are included in the same chapter. Formulate a response that connects these topics.
2. Glaciers are solid, but they are a basic part of the hydrologic cycle. Should glaciers be considered part of the geosphere, or do they belong to the hydrosphere?
3. Describe how human activity contributed to the Dust Bowl, the period of intense wind erosion in the Great Plains in the 1930's. You might find it helpful to research the Dust Bowl using Google or Yahoo.
