- 5. A long, flowing body of water that usually starts in higher elevations and travels through various landscapes until it reaches the ocean or another body of water.
- 7. A complex system of living organisms like plants, animals, and microorganisms, interacting with each other and their physical environment.
- 9. A living organism that uses sunlight to make its food through photosynthesis and plays a vital role in ecosystems by producing oxygen and providing habitats.
- 10. A tall, natural land formation with steep sides, often with a peak at the top, formed by processes like volcanic activity or tectonic plate movement.
- 11. A dry, barren region with little precipitation, often characterized by extreme temperatures, sparse vegetation, and unique wildlife.
- 14. Any living organism that can move independently, breathes, reproduces, and requires food, ranging from insects to mammals like humans.

- 6. A piece of land completely surrounded by water, varying in size and often home to unique species and ecosystems.
- 8. A sizeable inland body of water, typically found in valleys or basins, and fed by rivers, streams, or melting glaciers.
- 12. Frozen water vapor that forms into unique, crystal-like flakes and falls from the sky, covering the ground and often changing the landscape.
- 13. Small droplets of water that fall from the sky due to the condensation process in the atmosphere; necessary for plants and animals to survive.
