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