Landforms
This landform is surrounded on all sides by water.
Island
________ for rocks and minerals creates changes to the earths landforms by digging under ground to find resources. These are normally left open and change the interior and exterior of the landform.
Mining
This climate region has cold and warm seasons.
Temperate
_________ are large land areas covered by trees and other plants. Trees are classified as either coniferous or deciduous.
Forests
Vegetation also changes with latitude because of the difference in ________________.
Temperature
Valleys
_______ is the process of landforms becoming covered by glaciers or ice sheets. As large sheets of ice move they erode the land beneath them causing landforms to change.
Glaciation
This climate region has very cold, and very hot seasons caused by conflict between polar and tropical air.
Continental
______ can be found all across Canada and were created when glaciers migrated North.
Boreal Forests
The permanent removal of vegetation for other purposes. This contributes to high levels of CO2 and loss of animal habitat.
Deforestation
This landform is formed when large pieces of earth collide and force the earth upwards?
Mountains
______ is when plates move under the earths crust and collide/rub together which results in landform creation or changes.
Tectonic Forces
Latitude
______ are located near the equator between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
Tropical rain forests
Animal Grazing
This landform is a large area of tall land and mostly flat top. They are formed in many different ways; erosion of mountains or magma swells up below the surface of the earth.
Plateau
_____ moves these weathered pieces to a new location using natural things such as ice, wind, water and living organisms.
Erosion
This natural factor changes climate regions because the distance to or from water impacts the speed of cooling/warming of the land.
Water bodies
Tropical Savannah and Temperate grasslands are examples of this vegetation region.
Grasslands
______ are living things such as plants, animals, insects, and aquatic life that are introduced into a foreign ecosystem. This impacts the native vegetations ability to be successful.
Invasive Species
This landform is found at the edge of rivers where they meet the ocean. It is formed when dirt and other sediment flow down the river and create a triangle piece of land at the mouth of the river.
Delta
_______ is the process of eroded soil and rock being transported by wind, water, ice, or gravity and left at a new location creating new landforms.
Deposition
This factor impacts climate regions because different locations have different pressure zones which creates warm/cool winds.
Wind currents
_____ is a vegetation that does not get a lot of precipitation and is very dry.
______ is the over farming of the same area which depletes nutrients in the soil.
Monoculture
