Grade 6 -7 must complete this assignment ASAP.
This course is prepared to check
students' performance and understanding of the learning material in the
classroom.
language objective: the students have learnt about nature, animals (wildlife), our
planet, Geographical names.
1. you have to name 3 seas and say what fish is in them. you have to say /
explain where they are located and on territory of which countries does it
flow.
2. Provide a map for your sea
Selected seas include: Mediterranean Sea, Adriatic Sea, Black Sea, South China Sea, Red Sea, Dead
Sea, Persian Gulf, Caspian Sea, North Sea, Caribbean Sea, Bering Sea, and Sargasso Sea. Note there
are many other "seas!
For instance:
1. The Arabian Sea - location – is The northern part of the Indian Ocean
2. The Coral Sea -the location is The South Pacific Ocean
3. The Phillippine Sea located in the Pacific Ocean.
The Arabian Sea is a region of sea in the northern Indian Ocean,
Its total area is 3,862,000 km2 and its maximum depth is 4,652 meters.
The Gulf of Aden in the west connects the Arabian Sea to the Red Sea through the strait ,
and the Gulf of Oman is in the northwest, connecting it to the Persian Gulf.
Strait is a narrow passage of water connecting two seas or two other large areas of water.
The major species of fish caught in the Arabian Sea are the Indian Oil Sardine, Drums,
Croakers and the Bombay Duck. Other important fish caught in the area are anchovies,
mackerel, and various crustaceans including the spiny lobster.
The Arabian Sea is located in the north western region of the Indian Ocean.
It borders Yemen, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Kuwait, India, Iran, Kuwait,
Bahrain, and Qatar. The largest rivers emptying into the sea are the Indus River the Mahi,
the Tapti, and the Shatt al Arab river system. It's surface area is 3,950,000 km^2, average
surface temperature is 22.5 - 28.5 C, and maximum depth is 4,652 m.
2. You have to provide/ explain the depth of the river and the length of the river.
2. Name oceans and say the difference between a sea and an ocean.
Pacific ocean (largest and deepest),
Atlantic ocean,
Indian ocean,
Arctic ocean (smallest and shallowest)
Plus one: Southern Ocean (or Antarctic Ocean) -
Seas are:
Smaller than true oceans
Composed of salty water of varying salinity
Partially or fully enclosed by land. For example the Yellow Sea is connected to the
Pacific Ocean and the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean, whereas the Salton Sea and
Caspian Sea are fully landlocked.
Oceans cover 71% of Earth’s surface.
Oceans are interconnected (meaning that all water circulates through one world
ocean).
Oceans have huge size and volume (97% of Earth’s water).
The primary difference between oceans and seas is their size. Oceans are much larger
than seas, and they are not surrounded by land. Oceans are home to a wide variety of
marine life, including whales, dolphins, sharks, and fish. Seas, on the other hand, are
typically shallower and have more limited marine life. However, they are often important
for fishing and transportation, as they provide access to ports and shipping lanes.
2. Please choose one lake and tell the depth, where it is located.
Please explain the difference between the lake and a river. YOU have to
mention the depth and the surface area of your LAKE.
3. Speak about volcanoes. where did it happened.
you can pick / describe one of them:
Mount Vesuvius, Italy
Krakatoa, Indonesia
Mount St. Helens, United States
Mount Tambora, Indonesia
Mauna Loa, Hawaii
Bring/ show a Volcano picture to class on your presentation day / to defend laboratory work
project.
Famous Volcanoes:
Volcanoes are mountains formed by magma (molten rock) emerging from cracks in
the Earth’s thin outer crust.
Most volcanoes appear along the sides of the huge plates (known as tectonic
plates) that make up the surface of the world – either where the plates are moving
apart, or where they are moving together and one plate is forced under the other.
During a volcanic eruption, molten rock, ash and toxic gases are expelled from
a magma chamber under the ground, often with great force.

How many times has it erupted already.
When did the last erruption occured?
Mayon volcano in Philippines erupted 27 April and is continued.
how did it errupted ?
last time when it errupted did it destroy anything? for example, Mount Vesuvius is an
active volcano in the Gulf of Napleswhen has erupted several times with the last eruption
occurring only a hundred years ago. although, when the eruption happened in 79 AD,
resulted in coming out of a cloud of volcanic gases, ashes and rocks, destroyed and buried the
Roman towns of Pompeii, and Herculaneum and which released thermal energy.

Categories of Volcanoes
Volcanoes are categorised into three main categories:
Active
Dormant
Extinct
An active volcano is one which has recently erupted and there is a possibility that it may
erupt soon.
A dormant volcano is one that has not erupted in a long time but there is a possibility it
can erupt in the future.
An extinct volcano is one which has erupted thousands of years ago and there’s no
possibility of an eruption.
Lakes
Lakes are freshwater bodies that are enclosed by land on all sides. The main
difference between a lake and a river is that rivers are connected to another body of
water—whether it be an ocean, a sea, a lake, or another river.
Lakes, however, have no place to go. It is isolated.
A lake is a large body of water (larger and deeper than a pond) within a body of
land.
As a lake is separated from theo cean, it is not a sea. Some lakes are very big, and
people in the past sometimes called them seas.
Lakes do not flow like rivers. , but many have rivers flowing into and out of them.
Most lakes on the surface of the Earth are fresh water and most are in the Northern
Hemisphere. More than 60% of the lakes of the world are in Canada. Finland is
known as The Land of the Thousand Lakes (there are 187,888 lakes in Finland, of
which 60,000 are large).
Many lakes are man-made built to produce electricity, for recreation, or to use the
water for irrigation or industry, or in houses.
If there are not rivers flowing out of the lake, or they are few and small, the lake
loses water only by evaporation or because the water flows through the soil pores.
Where the water evaporates rapidly and the soil around the lake has a
high salt level, as in very dry places, the water of the lake has a high concentration of
salt and the lake is called a salt lake. Examples of salt lakes are the Great Salt Lake,
the Caspian Sea, the Aral Sea, and the Dead Sea.
An example of a lake is
1. Lake Baikal (Russia)
This lake is located in the Republic of Buryatia (in Russia's Irkutsk province).
Lake Baikal holds two impressive records: It has the largest water volume of any
continental lake on the planet, and it is the world's deepest lake. On a rough estimate, this
lake provides 20% of the world’s fresh water.

Volcano comes from the name of the Roman god of fire, Vulcan. It is an opening
in the Earth’s surface and when they are active they can let the ashing gas and
hot magma from these holes. These eruptions can be violent and spectacular
usually happen at a regular interval of time. Some of the modern-day famous
volcanic eruptions are Mount Krakatoa in 1883, Novarupta in 1912, Mount St
Helens in 1980 and Mt Pinatubo in 1991 Let me list down 16 famous volcanoes
in the world,
Famous volcanoes.
Mount Vesuvius, Italy.
1. Mount Vesuvius is an active volcano in the Gulf of Naples, in southern
Italy and has erupted several times.
It is most well known for the eruption that occurred in 79 AD when the
resulting eruption emanating a cloud of volcanic gases, ashes and
rocks, destroyed and buried the Roman towns of Pompeii, Stabiae,
Oplontis and Herculaneum and which released thermal energy which
was 100,000 times more than that released during Hiroshima-Nagasaki
atomic bombings, it is one of the famous volcanoes in the world.
Ever since then, Mount Vesuvius has erupted several times with the last
100 years. It is regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in
the world, as nearly 3 million people residing in the vicinity of the
volcanic mountain will be affected and around 600,000 people reside in
the ‘danger zone.’ Mount Vesuvius is prone to explosive eruptions and
the adjoining volcanic region is the most densely populated in the world.
