  1. 4. – the shape of the land that includes the area’selevation, relief, and landforms
  2. 5. – a landform made up of nearly flat or gently rolling land with low relief
  3. 7. Distance in degrees east and west of prime meridian
  4. 8. Relates distance on a map to a distance on Earth's surface
  5. 9. – a feature of topography, such as a hill or valley, formed by the processes that shape Earth’s surface.
  6. 11. A flat models of all parts of Earth's surface
  7. 12. belt – a larger unit of mountain ranges and mountain systems in a long,connected chain

Down
  1. 1. Plain – plain that lies along a seacoast; low elevation and low relief
  2. 2. – a landform with high elevation and high relief and usually occur as part of a mountain range
  3. 3. – the difference in elevation between the highest and lowest parts of an area
  4. 6. range – group of mountains that are closely related in shape, structure and age
  5. 10. system – the different mountain ranges in a region (ex. Bitterroot Mountains are a range in Rocky Mountains)
  6. 13. Plain – plain that lies away from a coast; low relief, elevation can vary
  7. 15. – the height above sea level of a point on Earth’s surface
  8. 16. A sphere that represents Earth's entire surface
  9. 17. (ᵒ) – is 1/360 of a way around a circle; unit that helps scientists locate positions on Earth’s surface
  10. 19. projection Frame work of lines that help transferring points on earths 3-D surface onto a flat map
