What is found on the surface of the Earth and Moon?

Group member_____________________________________________Period______

Research Work to be illustrated on Earth/Moon Poster:

ü What are the biggest/tallest/largest/longest (list size/length/area/height in Km): mountains, valleys, craters, bodies of water, maria, and rivers of the Earth and Moon? Illustrate them and make a Table to list them including the central Latitude and Longitude coordinates for each feature on the Earth.

ü What are the atmospheres of the Earth and Moon? What are the layers of the atmosphere and how high are they? (give a scale that compares earth to size of the atmosphere)

ü How have humans changed the surface of the Earth: address extinction, pollution and natural resources?

ü What is the hydrosphere and what are the different major bodies of water? Are these salty or fresh water? What is the deepest lake? Ocean? Sea? Illustrate them and/or list them in a Table.

ü EXTRA CREDIT: Describe how Humans have visited the moon and different ways they might return to the moon in the future?
