The Eagle Has Landed
A _______ is a natural or anthropogenic land feature on the solid surface of the Earth or other planetary body.
Landforms
An ______ is a layer of gas or layers of gases that envelop a planet, and is held in place by the gravity of the planetary body.
Atmosphere
__________is water that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth’s surface.
Precipitation
What is the percentage of the fresh water found on earth?
3%
A set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network.
System
A _____ is an elevated portion of the Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock. Although definitions vary, a mountain may differ from a plateau in having a limited summit area, and is usually higher than a hill, typically rising at least 300 metres above the surrounding land.
Mountain
The _______ is an all-encompassing term for those portions of Earth's surface where water is in solid form, including sea ice, lake ice, river ice, snow cover, glaciers, ice caps, ice sheets, and frozen ground. Thus, there is a wide overlap with the hydrosphere.
The Cryosphere
This type of water is found that is found on the top level of the earth.
Surface Water
An _______ is an underground layer of water-bearing, permeable rock, rock fractures, or unconsolidated materials.
Aquifer
In classical physics and general chemistry, _______ is any substance that has mass and takes up space by having volume.
Matter
________mostly formed by erosion and sediments from waves, longshore currents, rip currents, tides, and climatic factors like wind and rainfall, and temperature include headlands, cliffs, bays, spits, salt marshes, and beaches.
Coastlines
This Sphere has all the lands apart of it.
Geosphere
________ is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water. __________ is crucial to the water cycle because it is responsible for the formation of clouds.
Condensation
Where is most of the fresh water on earth found
Frozen
The capacity or power to do work, such as the capacity to move an object (of a given mass) by the application of force.
Energy
_______are mounds of loose sand created by wind and are the most well known aeolian features.
Dunes
The _______ also known as the ecosphere, is the worldwide sum of all ecosystems. It can also be termed the zone of life on Earth. The biosphere is virtually a closed system with regard to matter, with minimal inputs and outputs.
Biosphere
In the water cycle, ________ occurs when sunlight warms the surface of the water. The heat from the sun makes the water molecules move faster and faster, until they move so fast they escape as a gas.
Evaporation
True or false. The major features of the ocean floor include sea mounts, trenches, continental, shelves, and slopes, abyssal plains, and mid-ocean ridges.
True
____________is the technique, profession, art, and science of determining the terrestrial two-dimensional or three-dimensional positions of points and the distances and angles between them.
Surveying
_________a ribbon-like body of water that flows downhill from the force of gravity.
River
All the waters on the earth's surface, such as lakes and seas, and sometimes including water over the earth's surface, such as clouds.
The Hydrosphere
_________are wetlands that form as rivers empty their water and sediment into another body of water, such as an ocean, lake, or another river.
Deltas
True or False Volcanos are not a type of landforms as they are mountains.
false
In geography, ______ are theoretical frameworks that let us predict things like spatial relationships, interaction with or across space, and other issues of geography.
