Landforms
Landform with high elevation, low relief
What is a plateau?
All the water on earth is found here
What is hydrosphere?
Identify the layers of the Earth
What are the mantle. inner core,outer core, and crust
This covers most of the Earth
What are plains?
This landform would include hills, swamps and marshes
What are plains
Landform with low relief, low elevation
What is a plain?
This is where all the soil, sediments and rocks are found
What is the geosphere?
A plant gets nutrients from the soil( geosphere), water from the (hydrosphere) and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
How does a plant in the biosphere rely on the hydroshpere,geosphere, and atmosphere
Flat,but elevated landform
What are plateaus?
Two objects move farther apart, this happens to the force of gravity
What is the decrease of gravity?
Landform with high elevation, high relief
What are mountains
This is what you all are a part of
What is the biosphere?
Gravity brought together all the solar nebula materials such as ice,dust and gas to form Earth
How does gravity affect the formation of the Earth
Landforms made from forces inside the Earth that push, fold or uplift huge blocks of rocks
What are mountains?
These two systems interact when a river floods and erodes soil? ( think spheres...)
What are hydrosphere and geosphere?
This covers more than 70% of the surface
What are oceans?
This is a mixture of many gases
What is the atmosphere?
This layer is plastic like
What is the aesthenosphere?
These were made from built up lava
What are the Hawaiian Islands?
The part of a hard-boiled egg that would represent the core
What is the yolk?
Relief, elevation,how they relate to the landscape around them,size,shape, and slope
What are the factors used to identify landforms
What is gravity?
The upper part of the mantle and crust
What is the lithosphere?
These were made from pushed, folded or uplifted rocks
What are the White Mountains, Rocky Mountains,etc
This describes the physical features of a geographic area
What is topography?
