Key Concepts

Physiographic Provinces

Physiographic provinces are large regions of the Earth's surface that are characterized by distinct geomorphological features, including differences in rock type, structure, and landform development. They provide a framework for understanding the physical landscape and geological history, and are used to classify areas based on their common terrain, underlying geology, and surface processes.

Cascade Range

The Cascade Range is a major mountain system recognized for its volcanic activity and rugged topography. It forms part of a physiographic province characterized by significant volcanic features, steep mountain peaks, and associated geological processes, serving as an important example of how tectonic and volcanic activities shape regional landscapes.

00:01 Hi everyone.

00:03 So today the problem says in colorado there are more than 50 mountains with an elevation over 14 ,000 feet.

00:11 The table shows the 10 tallest.

00:14 Use the symbol to fill in the appropriate inequality symbol.

00:18 Okay.

00:18 So we're going to do equal, greater than or less than.

00:22 So let's start with a.

00:25 So we need to find the elevation of la plata peak.

00:33 So la plata is 14 ,336.

00:38 Okay.

00:40 And mount ontario.

00:42 So mount on terreau is 14 ,269.

00:47 Well, 14 ,336 is bigger than 14 ,269.

00:53 So it's going to be greater than.

00:56 So the elevation of la plata peak is greater than the elevation of mount ontario.

01:02 So let's go to b.

01:06 So we have blanca peak.

01:10 It's 14 ,345.

01:16 Okay, and we also have mount albert.

01:20 So we found mount albert.

01:21 It's 14 ,433.

01:26 So 14 ,345 is smaller than 14 ,433.

01:31 So it's going to be less than.

01:33 So the elevation of blanca peak is less than the elevation of mount elbert...
