Revision Grade 6 Geography

 A vast body of saltwater is called an ocean.

 An isthmus is a narrow strip of land that connects two large areas of Land with
water on either sides.
 A waterfall is a river or other body of water's steep fall over a rocky ledge into a
plunge pool below.
 A hill is a piece of land that rises higher than everything surrounding it. It looks like
a little bump in the Earth. Since they’re higher than everything around them, hills
are good places to get a nice view. Hills are easier to climb than mountains
 A Strait is a narrow waterway or a channel of water between two land masses
connecting two larger water bodies.
 An island is a body of land surrounded by water.

 A desert is a region of land that is very dry because it receives low amounts of
precipitation (usually in the form of rain, but it may be snow, mist or fog), often has
little coverage by plants, and in which streams dry up unless they are supplied by
water from outside the area.

 Animals have adapted to survive in the desert despite its extreme temperatures and lack
of water. Many of the animals are nocturnal. Meaning they sleep during the heat of the
day and come out when it is cooler at night. These same animals sleep in burrows,
tunnels under the ground, during the day in order to stay cool. Desert animals include
meerkats, camels, reptiles such as the horned toad, scorpions, and grasshoppers.
 Valleys are depressed areas of land–scoured and washed out by the conspiring
forces of gravity, water, and ice. Some hang; others are hollow. They all take the
form of a "U" or "V."
 A lake is a body of water that is surrounded by land. There are millions of lakes in
the world. They are found on every continent and in every kind of environment—in
mountains and deserts, on plains, and near seashores. Lakes vary greatly in size.
 Read carefully and understand:

 A river is a body of water that flows from high ground to low ground. The beginning
of a river is called the source.
 As a river flows down, other smaller rivers called tributaries join it and it becomes
bigger.

 The river flows in its channel The bottom of the river is called the riverbed. The
sides of the river are called the river banks.

 Usually, the river stays in its channel but sometimes, after heavy rains, the river
overflows its banks and there is a flood. At other times, during the summer or during
a drought, some rivers dry up completely and people can walk on the riverbed.

 The river usually flows down to a lake or an ocean.

 The place where the river meets the larger body of water is the end of the river and
is called the mouth.

 Sometimes rivers flow very fast over rocks. These areas, which are called rapids, are
dangerous for boats. And sometimes, rivers flow over cliffs forming beautiful
waterfalls.

 Rivers are very important for civilization. They provide water for drinking and
irrigation as well thy wre important routes for transportation by boats in the past

Just latest information about mangroves do read and encourage your fellow classmates to
read too it's reader friendly.....
7 MINUTES IN 70 SECONDS

It takes about 70 years for an Avicenna Marina mangrove tree to grow to full life… I think
we will cut our mature trees within the next 7.

I’m referring to the mangrove forests on both sides of Karachi. Sandspit and the Korangi
Creek.

Creating human habitation on flooding intertidal lands, creating islands over inundating
mudflats and sandbanks, has obvious complications and costs.
It WILL cause these forests to disappear… with obvious negative consequences… TO
KARACHI.

It will also change the hydraulic properties of our self dredging Kemari harbour. It will silt
up the Port Qasim channel… even more…

It will destroy vital ecosystems and cause nature to adjust… unfortunately to our detriment.

We need to work with nature.

We need to heed climate change.

Should we build where sea levels WILL rise… and man made islands erode?

Some of our old Mangrove forests are still with us… And we are planting SAPLINGS, a lot
of them! BRAVO! really and truly well done!

SO WHY ARE WE PROPOSING ENTERPRISES THAT WILL CAUSE THE CUTTING

OF THOSE MANGROVES THAT HAVE GROWN ON THEIR OWN?

A strange ‘offset’?
Does it balance, benefit?
What credit has or is to be accrued?

Let us protect what we already have.

A Nature Reserve, a Marine Protected Area is needed HERE.
