Maps before the apps
This man made technology helps cartographers make maps more accurate
What are satellite?
These are large boulders deposited by glaciers
What are erratics?
This covers over two thirds of the Earth's surface
What is salt water?
*will accept water
These are the 3 layers of the Earth
What are crust, mantle, and core?
this is an area where a given organism lives, like a cave or coral reef
What is habitat?
these imaginary lines meet at the north and south pole to divide the globe into segments
what are lines of longitude?
Glaciers form in high mountain ranges and also in these 2 places in the arctic biome
Where are the North and South poles?
This is the starting point of a river, usually in the mountains
What is source?
this magnetic element makes up Earth's hot and molten core
What is iron?
this is a larger region with a distinct climate which includes several smaller habitats like arctic or rainforest
What is a biome?
this part of the globe is HOT but 0 degrees latitude
what is the equator?
these 2 water forms are compacted together under pressure to form a glacier
what are snow and ice?
This star plays a key part in the water cycle before the cooling water vapor becomes clouds and fall back to the ocean as rain
What is the sun?
this sometimes disastrous trembling is caused at the brittle surface rock when heat is carried up from hot circulating mantle
what is earthquake?
This weather word determines the boundaries of different biomes
What is climate?
named after a constellation its coordinates are 20 degrees south and 0 degrees longitude.
What is tropic of capricorn?
clue that a glacier was once present in a valley
What is a morraine?
*or will accept deep, rounded U-shaped valley or drumlin (mounds of clay left by glacier) or kettle (deep pond)

What is ocean current?
these move because they float on of the mantle
What are plates?
*will accept continents
this is a group of animals and plants that live together in mutually beneficial relationships
what is a community?
This Flemish cartographer devised a fairly accurate way to represent the Earth's surface on a map in 1538
Who is Gerhard Mercator?
This body of water sometimes forms in the steep sided basins made by glaciers
What are lakes?
This body of water deposits the heavier material it has picked up first as it slows
What is a river?
opposites attract in these strong lines created by electric currents circulating within the molten outer core.
What is Earth's magnetic field?
In this biome more water evaporates than falls as precipitation makes up one fifth of the world
What is desert?
