Earth's Internal Structure and Different Landforms
Across
- 1. Is the study of the current terrain features of a region and the graphic representation of a particular landform on a map.
- 4. also known as table lands or flat-topped mountains, are portion of lands elevated thousands of feet above their surroundings.
- 6. It is the field that protects us from harmful rays emitted by the sun.
- 9. Deep ravine between cliffs that is often carved from the landscape by a river, wind, or glacier.
- 14. Are defined as the natural phyisical features on the surface of Earth.
- 16. Are mounds or small hills made up of sand. May be dome-shaped, crescent-shaped, star-shaped, linear-shaped, or parabolic.
- 17. 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.
- 18. Land situated between hills or mountains
Down
- 2. 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.
- 3. Study of the flow of matter
- 5. Elevated portions of lands smaller than mountains
- 7. 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.
- 8. Are landforms that are controlled by geological processes that form them and continually act on them after their formation.
- 9. Last and innermost layer which is separated into the liquid outer core and the solid inner core.
- 10. outermost layer of Eath. Thinnest layer because it only makes up about one percent of Earth.
- 11. 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.
- 12. are flat and broad land areas that have no great changes in elevation when measured with reference to the mean sea level.
- 13. Almost similar to mesa as it has a flat-topped hill and steep sides and are formed in arid to semi-aride conditions.
- 15. largest layer of Earth. Composed of iron, aluminum, calcium, magnesium, silicon, and oxygen.
- 16. is typically a low-lying triangular area located at the mouth of rivers where it meets an ocean seas, or estuaries.
