  1. 4. A landform with high elevation and high relief.
  2. 7. A line that forms the boundary between the land and the ocean or a lake.
  3. 9. The parts of Earth that contain living organisms.
  4. 10. A natural stream of water that flows into another body of water, such as an ocean, lake, or another river.
  5. 11. The portion of the hydrosphere that is frozen, including all the ice and snow on land, plus sea and lake ice.
  6. 14. The portion of Earth that consists of water in any of its forms, including oceans, glaciers, rivers, lakes, groundwater and water vapor.
  7. 18. The continual movement of water among Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and land surface through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
  8. 19. The change in state from a gas to a liquid.

  5. 6. The relatively thin layer of gases that form Earth's outermost layer.
  6. 8. A process in which mapmakers determine distances and elevations using instruments and the principles of geometry.
