  1. Landform Plate Tectonics Climates Seasons Factors Effecting Climate Global Landforms Surprise Me

  2. Gibraltar and Bering are examples of the thin bodies of water that link larger bodies of water on both sides. What are Straits?

  3. The Yucatan and the state “Florida” have water on three sides, thus, they are considered this type of landform. What is a Peninsula?

  4. Land bridges that connect two large bodies of land, such as Panama and Suez. What are Isthmus?

  5. The Caribbean Islands and Indonesia have thousands of islands close together, and are example of this. What is Archipelago?

  6. In high latitudes, glaciers erode coastal areas leaving very deep and very wide bodies of water known as this. What are Fjords?

  7. The Theory that all the Earth’s land started as one “Super-Continent” and has moved to its current location is known as this. What is Continental Drift?

  8. This type of plate movement is categorized by ocean ridges and/or continental rift valley, such as those in eastern Africa. What are Diverging Plates?

  9. This type of plate movement is categorized by subduction trenches and coastal mountains. What are Converging Plates?

  10. Before moving Plates break and become “Faults” they have bent or curved rock, such as those at Ayers Rock in Australia, called this. What are Folds?

  11. Sub-Ocean earthquakes produce these large and destructive waves. What are Tsunamis?

  12. The gas that is believed to be responsible for Global Warming. What is Carbon Dioxide (CO2)?

  13. Weather phenomenon that usually occurs every 4 years and is responsible for poor fishing off the coast of South America, global flooding, and droughts. What is El Niño?

  14. Climates greatly influence biomes;Tropical areas have rainforest,Temperate climates have deciduous trees,Arid areas have this type of plant. What is Cactus?

  15. Lakes, trees, and oxygen are examples of these three spheres of the environment. What are hydrosphere, biosphere, atmosphere?

  16. A type of forest with moderate rainfall and warm to cold temperatures What are Deciduous Forests

  17. When the sun is directly over Hawaii, which is on the Equator, and the sun rises at 6 A.M. and sets at 6 P.M. is known as this What are Equinox?

  18. These latitudes have temperate climate zones and are located between the polar circles and the tropics What are the Mid-Latitudes?

  19. This latitude receive solar energy all year around. What are the Low Latitudes?

  20. The sun is directly over this hemisphere when it is coldest in Texas What is the Southern Hemisphere?

  21. When the sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn the date is this. When is December 21?

  22. Because of these there is no wind on the Equator What is Doldrums?

  23. This is the process of a mountain and a Prevailing wind creating a desert, much like the Atlas mountains does with the Sahara. What is Orographic Effect?

  24. Ocean currents, wind belts, landforms, and elevation are Factors that effect the climate, but this one is the most important. What is Latitudes?

  25. Although they are close this is the factor of climate that makes San Diego, CA an average of 35 degrees cooler than Phoenix, AZ in the summer. What are Ocean Currents?

  26. This is the factor affecting climate that is responsible for it being cold in Argentina on the 4th of July What are latitudes?

  27. This is the largest Ocean surrounded by the “ring of fire” which is areas of volcanoes and earthquakes. What is the Pacific Ocean?

  28. This western South American mountain range is the longest in the world and shows the continent’s western movement. What are the Andes Mountains?

  29. Second largest in size, this continent is more negatively effected by drought than any other continent in the world. What is Africa?

  30. Civilizations like the Egyptian in Africa, the Babylonian in Mesopotamia, Indian in South Asia and Eastern Asia had great success because of these landforms What are rivers

  31. The Kalahari Desert has more oasis than any other desert in the world because this river empties into it. What is the Okavango?

  32. These are storms that form in the Atlantic tropics and causes major damage the coastal areas in the Americas. What are Hurricanes?

  33. These storms are formed when warm and cold fronts collide in the mid-latitudes. What are tornadoes?

  34. The movement of rock from a mountain becoming sediment at a river’s delta is called this. What is erosion?

  35. This occurs when water in the cracks of rock freeze, expand, and causes the rock to break down and erode. What is weathering?

  36. The sun’s heating of the Pacific Ocean and storing it in the atmosphere are two examples of this weather process. Hydrologic Cycle?

  37. Final Bonus Question

  38. This is the House 200 Principle? Who is Mr. Charles?
