Let's Talk Geography: 55 Geographical Terms (Kids Need to Know)

What's the difference between a swamp and a bog? Which ocean is saltier—the Atlantic or the Pacific? Viewers will be able to answer questions such as these—and know the definitions of 55 geographical terms (covering both landforms and bodies of water)—after watching this short program. Featuring a friendly teen host and energetic, clear narration, Let's Talk Geography teaches viewers the meanings of a wide variety of relevant terms, from “continent” to “strait,” employing a well-organized, logical progression (the section covering biomes, for example, presents types of “forests,” followed by further specifications such as “rainforest” and “jungle”). Each term is shown onscreen, along with visual examples from locations around the globe, coupled with solid map graphics. Recommended. Aud: E, I, J. (E. Gieschen)
