Taking off requires acceleration to a sufficient speed for the plane to be lifted by the air; acceleration takes a lot of energy, maintaining speed takes less energy. Landing is complex because the plane has to maneuver into exactly the right position and speed in order to land on the landing strip, so that also consumes energy. In principle, if you could land anywhere at any speed (for example, if you were crashing into the ocean) that doesn't require any energy because gravity does it for you. But that's not how planes normally land.
For taking off and landing.
Landing.
A seaplane is any aeroplane that is capable of landing and taking off from water. These days they are just oddities, but in the 30's and 40's the "flying boats" allowed commercial flight before there were any significant number of airports.
"What is the opposite of landing." The opposite of landing is taking off. Abfliegen or abheben.
The weight of the aeroplane and its cargo, friction where the plane's wheels meet the runway, the lift provided by the motion of the air around the aerofoil shape of the wings, aerodynamic drag,
Sticking the landing in gymnastics means landing a routine or dismount without taking any steps or stumbling. It shows control, balance, and precision in the athlete's performance.
If you are driving over the border then no but if you are taking it on an aeroplane then yes but only with an upto date firearms permit.
No, temporary passports for a cruise are not available. You will need to get a normal passport if you are cruising out of the United States.

pontoons and/or a boat-shaped hull.
No, it is done automatically.
There are only few planes which can hover efficiently. In that only jet fighters have the ability to hover. The Osprey used by the US Marine Corps is a transport plane which can hover. I saw one of them hovering at Fort Rucker, AL, in 2008. It is tricky and dangerous to fly, but it needs no airstrip for taking off and landing.
