MAPS
They are the two basic map types
Profile and map view
The orbit of one object around another object
Revolution
Earth system which contains all living things
Biosphere
Boundry type when two plates collide
Convergent
A resource which is used faster than can be replaced
Nonrenewable
All the symbols used on a map
Map legend
An object which orbits the Sun, nearly spherical in shape and shares its orbital path with other objects of similar size.
Dwarf planet
A naturally occurring inorganic solid which contains crystal structures and a definite chemical composition.
Mineral
Circulation of particles in a material caused by differences in density and thermal energy
Convection currents
Energy stored and released from the nucleus of an atom
Nuclear energy
The distance in elevation between the highest and lowest point in an area.
The relief
A phase of the Moon during which less of the lit part of the moon is visible each night
Waning
The process where water continually moves throughout the hydrosphere
Water cycle
The theory of this says the surface of the Earth is broken into large rigid pieces which move with respect to each other.
Plate tectonics
A process in which land mined must be covered in soil and vegetation planted.
Reclamation
The distance in degrees north or south of the equator.
Latitude
Two stars which orbit each others center of mass.
Binary star
Water vapor released from the leaves of plants.
Transpiration
The Earth's crust and uppermost part of the mantle make this.
Lithosphere
A resource which is replaced as fast as it is used
Renewable
Collecting information about an area without coming into contact with it.
Remote sensing
Earth's rotation axis is tilted neither toward or away from the Sun
Equinox
The process through which large bodies of Earth's materials are moved to higher elevations.
Uplift
North America and Europe were once part of a large land mass called ___.
Pangea
