Greek Island Origins

Students read a passage explaining why Greece has so many islands, focusing on tectonic plates, erosion, sea-level changes, and geological processes. They then answer analysis questions requiring complete-sentence explanations. The worksheet helps students understand how natural forces shape coastlines and create complex landforms. It encourages learners to apply evidence from the text to explain cause-and-effect relationships. This activity builds scientific literacy, reading comprehension, and interpretive thinking.
