Internal structure of the Earth and the Different Landforms and Processes Involved in their Formation
Across
- 2. The planet’s source of internal heat.
- 3. The largest layer of the Earth.
- 5. The study of the current terrain features of a region and the graphic representation of a particular landform on a map.
- 10. Portion of lands elevated thousands of feet above their surroundings. They are also known as table lands or flat-topped mountains.
- 11. The natural physical features on the surface of Earth.
- 12. Plains that are found at the deepest part of the ocean.
- 15. Landforms resulted from the actions of glaciers.
- 18. Landforms created from exclusively erosional and weathering activities.
- 19. The outermost layer of the Earth.
Down
- 1. Located below the lithosphere. A highly viscous, hotter, and ductile region of the upper mantle.
- 2. A deep ravine between cliffs that is often carved from the landscape by a river, wind, or glacier.
- 4. cliffs High rocky coasts that plunge down to the edge of the sea.
- 6. The scientific study of landforms and the processes that shape them.
- 7. Elevated portions of lands that are formed by geologic activities such as faulting. These are smaller than mountains.
- 8. Mounds or small hills made up of sand.
- 9. A piece of land that projects into a body of water and is connected to the mainland by an isthmus.
- 13. Outer solid part of the planet.
- 14. Study of the flow of matter primarily in a liquid state under conditions at which they respond with plastic flow rather than deforming elastically in response to applied force.
- 16. Flat and broad land areas that have no great changes in elevation when measured with reference to the mean sea level.
- 17. A low-lying triangular area located at the mouth of rivers where it meets an ocean, seas, or estuaries.
