Earth's Geographical Features
Across
- 2. These valleys result from the erosive action of rivers over time, shaping V-shaped valleys.
- 7. These mountains are formed through the eruption of magma from the Earth's interior.
- 9. These islands, also known as atolls or reef islands, develop from coral reefs growing on submerged oceanic islands.
- 10. Lowlands between elevated areas, shaped by natural forces like rivers, glaciers, or tectonic activity
- 12. These islands were once part of a larger landmass but became separated due to geological processes such as rising sea levels or tectonic shifts. They retain connections to nearby continents.
- 13. Transitional areas where land meets the sea, featuring sandy beaches, rocky cliffs, and estuaries. Erosion, sedimentation, and tides shape these dynamic environments.
- 14. Expansive, flat or gently rolling areas of land with fertile soil, ideal for agriculture.
Down
- 1. These valleys are formed by the slow movement of glaciers over thousands of years. The ice carves out U-shaped valleys with steep sides.
- 3. These coastlines are shaped by erosion caused by the relentless action of waves, creating unique geological features.
- 4. Land masses surrounded by water, formed through processes like volcanic activity, continental drift, or coral reef growth.
- 5. Tall, steep landforms formed by geological processes like tectonic activity or volcanic eruptions.
- 6. These mountains form when sections of the Earth's crust are uplifted or dropped down between faults or fractures.
- 8. These mountains arise from the Earth's crust being compressed and folded due to tectonic plate collisions.
- 11. These coastal areas are characterized by the accumulation of sand, often carried by waves and currents.
