Geography
Across
- 4. - A group of islands clustered together in a body of water.
- 7. - A low-lying area of land, often drained by a river and surrounded by higher land.
- 9. - A fracture in the Earth's crust along which movement has occurred, often associated with earthquakes.
- 13. - The imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
- 14. - The area where land meets the sea or ocean, often characterized by beaches and cliffs.
- 17. - The measurement of distance north or south of the Equator, expressed in degrees.
- 20. - A barren area of land characterized by very low precipitation and sparse vegetation.
- 22. - A grassland ecosystem characterized by trees and a mix of grasses, typically found in tropical regions.
- 23. - A low area of land between hills or mountains, often where rivers flow.
- 24. - A fertile area in a desert where water is available, allowing vegetation to grow.
- 26. - The arrangement of the natural and artificial physical features of an area.
- 27. - A flat, elevated landform that rises sharply above the surrounding area.
- 28. - The angular distance of a place north or south of the Earth's equator, measured in degrees.
- 29. - A large landform that rises prominently above its surroundings, often with steep slopes.
- 30. - One of the large landmasses on Earth, such as Asia or Africa.
Down
- 1. - The long-term average of weather conditions in a particular area.
- 2. - A deep, narrow valley with steep sides, often carved by river erosion.
- 3. - A large mass of ice that moves slowly over land, formed from compacted snow.
- 5. - A landform that is surrounded by water on three sides but connected to the mainland.
- 6. - The hypothetical supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras.
- 8. - The variety of plant and animal life in a particular habitat or ecosystem.
- 10. - The process by which rural areas become developed into cities and towns.
- 11. - A natural watercourse, typically freshwater, flowing toward an ocean, sea, or lake.
- 12. - A line of longitude that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole.
- 15. - A vast body of saltwater that covers most of the Earth's surface.
- 16. - A cold, treeless biome characterized by permafrost, found in polar regions.
- 18. - A landmass surrounded by water, smaller than a continent.
- 19. - A landform that forms at the mouth of a river, where it meets a body of water and deposits sediment.
- 21. - A community of living organisms and their physical environment interacting as a system.
- 25. - The measurement of distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, also expressed in degrees.
