Earth is a dynamic place, with moving tectonic plates, environmental processes and human actions shaping its features.

Join Shona from Geoscience Australia and explore the formation of Australia's coastal, desert and mountain landforms and landscapes.

Discover how Earth's forces have created these landforms and the processes that continue to shape each landscape.

Investigate how humans use landscapes and create changes to the natural environment that may need to be managed over time.

Head out with some students from Canberra High School for some fieldwork activities and learn how to report your findings.
