What is geography

in one word?

Write it on your whiteboard together with your neighbour!

Geography

Everything that happens

on and inside

the earth.

Why are there

such differences on earth?

And our country looks like this!

YOU CAN SEE THE

DIFFERENCES EVEN

FROM SPACE!

LANDSCAPE ZONES

A piece of land with the same vegetation.

Earth has 8 different landscape zones

If you travel from the equator to the North Pole you will pass through!

Let's make a short journey

Tropical rainforest

Tropical

rainforest

Or the jungle!

This is the wettest place on earth, it rains here every day. 

As a result; there are many plants and animals that grow there.

A lot of animals like panthers from the Jungle Book.

Savannah

In the savannah is less rain and you will not find those dense forests anymore. 

But the most amazing animals!

Steppe

Steppe

This is one of the driest places on earth. No trees can grow here!

Fortunately, some animals still enjoy living here.

Desert

Your largest desert on earth is the Sahara in Africa!

Savanne

Hoe verder je van de evenaar of komt, hoe minder het begint te regenen. Daarom heb je op de savanne minder bomen.

Wel de BIG FIVE!
