Form these Lands
___________landforms are the landforms along the __________ that are mostly formed by erosion and sediments from waves, longshore currents, rip currents, tides, and climatic factors like wind and rainfall, and temperature including headlands, cliffs, bays, spits, salt marshes, and beaches.
Coastlines
. The term “________" refers to Earth's interacting physical, chemical, and biological processes. The system consists of the land, oceans, atmosphere and poles.
Earth System
The air around you has weight, and it presses against everything it touches. That pressure is called atmospheric pressure. It is the force exerted on a surface by the air above it as gravity pulls it to Earth.
Air Pressure
A________ is an elevated portion of the Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that show significantly exposed bedrock. Landform that rises prominently above its surroundings, generally exhibiting steep slopes, a relatively confined summit area, and considerable local relief. __________generally are understood to be larger than hills, but the term has no standardized geological meaning.
Mountains
Large salty bodies of water that the coastline is a part of, in they are the biggest bodies of water on the planet.
Ocean
_________ are mounds of loose sand created by wind and are the most well-known aeolian features.
Dune
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.
Cryosphere
______ is the movement of air caused by the uneven heating of the Earth by the sun. It does not have much substance—you cannot see it or hold it—but you can feel its force.
Wind
__________ 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
In geography, ________are theoretical frameworks that let us predict things like spatial relationships, interaction with or across space, and other issues of geography.
Model
A__________ is a ribbon-like body of water that flows downhill from the force of gravity. A _______can be wide and deep, or shallow enough for a person to wade across. A flowing body of water that is smaller than a_____ is called a stream, creek, or brook.
River
The continents, the ocean floor, all of the rocks on the surface, and all of the sand in the deserts are all considered part of the ___________.
Geosphere
__________, like elevation, is the distance above sea level. Areas are often considered "high-_________" if they reach at least 2,400 meters (8,000 feet) into the atmosphere.
Altitude
The ______ describes how water evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses into rain or snow in clouds, and falls again to the surface as precipitation.
Water Cycle
____________or land _______ 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 that led to the creation of maps.
Surveying
________ are wetlands that form as rivers empty their water and sediment into another body of water, such as an ocean, lake, or another river. Although very uncommon, _________ can also empty into the land.
Deltas
Which system includes all the regions of the surface, atmosphere, and hydrosphere of the earth (or analogous parts of other planets) occupied by living organisms?
Biosphere
The_________ is a mixture of gasses that surrounds the Earth. It helps make life possible by providing us with air to breathe, shielding us from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation coming from the Sun, trapping heat to warm the planet, and preventing extreme temperature differences between day and night.
Atmosphere
. _________ is water that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth’s surface.
Precipitation
70% of the earth water is____________.
Frozen
Mostly flat landforms that primarily lush grasslands.
Plains
Which system includes 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?
Hydrosphere
A _________is a natural or anthropogenic land feature on the solid surface of the Earth or other planetary body.
Landforms
_________ is the evaporation of water from plants through stomata
Transpiration
29% of the earth's water is_________.
Ground Water
