  1. 2. Almost similar to mesa as it has a flat-topped hill and steep sides and are formed in arid to semi-aride conditions.
  2. 4. Are mounds or small hills made up of sand. May be dome-shaped, crescent-shaped, star-shaped, linear-shaped, or parabolic.
  3. 6. It is the effect due to convection by heat radiating from the core together with the rotation of Earth on its axis, the liquid iron moves in a rotational pattern which is believed to be the source of magnetic field of the Earth.
  4. 9. are flat and broad land areas that have no great changes in elevation when measured with reference to the mean sea level.
  5. 11. also called byland or biland, is a piece of land that projects into a body of water and is connected to the mainland by an isthmus.
  6. 13. is the scientific study of landforms and the processes that shape them.
  7. 14. largest layer of Earth. Composed of iron, aluminum, calcium, magnesium, silicon, and oxygen.
  8. 15. Last and innermost layer which is separated into the liquid outer core and the solid inner core.
  9. 16. is outer solid part of the planet include Earth's crust as well as the underlying cool, dense and rigid upper part of the upper mantle.
  10. 17. Land situated between hills or mountains
  11. 18. also known as table lands or flat-topped mountains, are portion of lands elevated thousands of feet above their surroundings.
  12. 20. Are landforms that are controlled by geological processes that form them and continually act on them after their formation.
Down
  1. 1. It is the field that protects us from harmful rays emitted by the sun.
  2. 3. is a bend in a sinuous watercourse of river. It is formed when moving water in a stream erodes the out banks then widens its valley.
  3. 4. is typically a low-lying triangular area located at the mouth of rivers where it meets an ocean seas, or estuaries.
  4. 5. Deep ravine between cliffs that is often carved from the landscape by a river, wind, or glacier.
  5. 7. outermost layer of Eath. Thinnest layer because it only makes up about one percent of Earth.
  6. 8. Elevated portions of lands smaller than mountains
  7. 10. Study of the flow of matter
  8. 12. Are defined as the natural phyisical features on the surface of Earth.
  9. 19. Is the study of the current terrain features of a region and the graphic representation of a particular landform on a map.
