Parts of the Earth
Across
- 2. Flowing bodies of freshwater, often originating from mountains and flowing into lakes or oceans, shaping landscapes along their path.
- 4. Dense and extensive areas covered with trees and other vegetation, providing habitats for diverse plant and animal species.
- 6. Deep and narrow gorges or ravines, typically formed by the erosive activity of rivers or tectonic processes.
- 7. Low-lying areas between mountains or hills, often formed by erosion and containing rivers or streams.
- 8. Landforms surrounded by water on three sides, connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of land, such as the Iberian Peninsula.
- 11. Groups or chains of islands clustered together in a body of water, such as the Indonesian Archipelago or the Greek Islands.
- 14. Dry and arid regions with minimal precipitation, often characterized by sand dunes, rocky landscapes, and extreme temperatures.
Down
- 1. Large landmasses on Earth, such as Asia, Africa, and North America, characterized by distinct boundaries and diverse ecosystems.
- 3. Elevated landforms with steep slopes and high peaks, often formed by tectonic forces or volcanic activity.
- 5. Cold and treeless landscapes with permafrost, characterized by low-growing vegetation and adapted wildlife, often found in polar regions.
- 8. Broad and flat expanses of land, usually with fertile soil, supporting agriculture and various human activities.
- 9. Landmasses surrounded by water, smaller than continents, and often formed by volcanic activity or tectonic processes.
- 10. Large inland bodies of water, surrounded by land, and often fed by rivers or streams, providing habitats for aquatic life.
- 12. Elevated flat or gently sloping areas of land, often with steep sides, formed by geological forces or volcanic activity.
- 13. Vast bodies of saltwater, including the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and Arctic Oceans, covering a significant portion of the Earth's surface.
