Physical Geography
This is the branch of natural science which deals with the processes and patterns in the natural environment
What is Physical Geography?
This rock type is formed after millions of years of heat and pressure.
What is Metamorphic?
This is the most accurate shape of the Earth.
What is an Ellipsoid?
The Earth's Lithosphere is broken up into these two crusts.
What are the Continental and Oceanic Crust?
GIS is a computer system that stores, visualizes and analyzes spatial data through layering, and is shorthand for this.
What is Geographic Information Systems?
Physical, Human and Environmental are the three categories of this.
What is Geography?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from layers of sand, silt and this other material.
What is organic mass?
Eratosthenes is attributed as being the first person to calculate Earth's this.
What is the circumference?
This layer is made of mostly solid iron and nickel, even when exposed to heat that reaches over 10000o F
What is the Inner Core?
These lines run horizontally around the earth.
What is latitude?
Its the study of Earth's landforms, terrain and its processes.
What is Geomorphology?
These two formation types produce igneous rocks.
What are Intrusive and Extrusive?
A scale of a map that is very detailed and focused on a small area, is known as this.
What is Large Scale?
The Earth's Mantle moves heat up from the core through this type of energy transference.
What are convection currents?
The predicted average rainfall in River Grove for the summer months is an example of a region's this.
What is Climate?
Climate zones are broken up into two parts, the first descriptor regarding temperature and the second regarding this.
What is moisture?
This is the second phase of sedimentary rock formation.
What is compaction?
This map projection is best used for portraying polar regions.
What is Planar?
This is the area of the Crust that transitions into the Mantle.
What is the Asthenosphere?
At 0 degrees longitude we can find this line.
What is the Prime Meridian?
This is the layer of the atmosphere that burns up most space debris before it reaches Earth's surface.
What is the Mesosphere?
In the rock cycle, weathering and erosion make this.
What is sediment?
In the Middle Ages, maps were not known for accuracy, but were mostly used for this.
What are religious purposes?
The electrical currents from the Earth's outer core generates Earth's this.
What is Magnetism?
Earth's magnetism protects the Earth from this.
What are Solar Flares?
