Landforms
This is a deep valley with high, steep sides.
What is a canyon?
This is the imaginary line that circles the globe and is 0 degrees latitude.
What is the equator?
This is the energy that comes from the movement of charged particles.
What is electrical energy?
This is the process of eroded soil and bits of rock being dropped off in another place.
What is deposition?
These are the THREE things that are released when a volcano erupts.
What are rocks, gases, and lava?
This is an area with very little precipitation.
What is a desert?
This is a physical feature on Earth's surface.
What is a landform?
In this type of circuit, there is only one path for electric current to flow. If one light goes out, they all go out.
What is a series circuit?
This is the movement of weathered material from one place to another.
What is erosion?
This is the hot, melted rock that flows from a volcano during an eruption.
What is lava?
This is a wide flat area.
What is a plain?
These lines are used to describe how far east or west a place is from the Prime Meridian.
What is longitude?
This is a material that slows or stops the flow of electricity.
What is an insulator?
These are tiny bits of soil and rock that have been broken down and deposited.
What are sediments?
The Earth's crust is broken into very large pieces called this.
What are plates?
This is a mass of land that forms at the mouth of a river. This occurs when a smaller body of water enters a larger body of water and drops the sediment it is carrying.
What is a delta?
These lines are used to describe how far north or south a place is from the equator.
What is latitude?
This type of circuit has more than one path for electric current to flow. If one light goes out, the others stay on.
What is a parallel circuit?
These are the remains or imprints of living things from the past that have been preserved.
What are fossils?
This is the sudden movement of Earth's crust.
What is an earthquake?
This is flat land that is higher than the land around it.
What is a plateau?
This is the type of map that shows the elevation of an area using lines.
What is a topographical map?
This is a wave that transfers energy through a material and spreads outward in all directions from a vibration.
What is a sound wave?
This is the type of rock that forms from sediments that are pressed together in layers.
What are sedimentary rocks?
This is an opening in the Earth's surface where melted rock or gases are forced out.
What are volcanoes?
