Across
  1. 3. Large, flat elevated areas of land that rise sharply above surrounding terrain.
  2. 5. The underwater edge of a continent that extends outward before the ocean becomes much deeper.
  3. 9. a group of celestial objects that orbit around the Sun, including eight planets (like Earth), their moons, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, and other space debris.
  4. 10. The regular rise and fall of sea levels caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.
  5. 12. The layer of gases (like oxygen and nitrogen) surrounding Earth, essential for weather, climate, and life.
  6. 13. The Earth's thin, outermost layer of rock where all life exists.
  7. 15. The layer of molten metal surrounding the inner core; responsible for Earth's magnetic field.
  8. 17. Water released from clouds in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
  9. 18. The thick layer of hot, semi-solid rock between the core and the crust; it moves slowly and causes tectonic activity.
  10. 19. The process where water turns into vapor and rises into the atmosphere.
  11. 20. Movements of water on the surface of oceans or lakes, usually caused by wind.
Down
  1. 1. A solid sphere of hot metal (mainly iron and nickel) at the very center of the Earth.
  2. 2. Large-scale movements of water within oceans, caused by wind, temperature, and Earth's rotation.
  3. 4. All the water on Earth’s surface, including oceans, lakes, rivers, and even underground water.
  4. 6. The continuous movement of water through the environment by evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.
  5. 7. Water that contains little or no salt; found in rivers, lakes, glaciers, and underground sources.
  6. 8. The rigid outer layer of the Earth, made up of the crust and upper mantle; includes landforms like mountains and continents.
  7. 9. Water that contains a high concentration of salt, mainly found in oceans and seas.
  8. 11. The parts of Earth where life exists, including land, water, and air.
  9. 14. When water vapor cools and turns back into liquid droplets, forming clouds.
  10. 16. The innermost layer of the Earth, made mostly of iron and nickel, and divided into the inner and outer core.
  11. 17. Broad, flat or gently rolling areas of land, often used for farming.
