River basins: A river basin is a low, wide valley crossed by rivers.
There are two main river basins in Spain: the Guadalquivir river basin in the south, and the Ebro river basin in the east.

ROCKS AND THEIR USES
ROCKS are inorganic natural substances. They are normally composed of more than one mineral. There are 3 main types of rocks depending on how they are formed.
1. IGNEOUS ROCKS (ígneas): these rocks form when molten lava from volcanoes cools and hardens. For example: granite and basalt.
2. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS (sedimentarias): layers of other rocks fragments, animal or plant fossils. They compact over millions of years to form rock. For example: clay and limestone.
3. METAMORPHIC ROCKS (metamórficas): igneous or sedimentary rocks that are transformed into a new rock. If rocks are buried deep in the earth at high temperatures and pressures, they form metamorphic rocks. For example: marble and slate.
Now let´s watch some videos in spanish and in english to refresh our memories!

THE EARTH´S CRUST AND LAYERS
The Earth’s layers
The Earth is made up
of three layers.
The atmosphere is made up of air.
The hydrosphere is
all the water on Earth.
The geosphere is the solid part of the Earth.
The geosphere has
three main parts: the crust, the mantle and the core.
Crust: The solid
outer layer.
Mantle: The middle
layer, made up of very dense rock.
Core: The inner
layer of the geosphere.
Now we are going to watch some videos in spanish and in english to refresh our memories!!!!
