Landforms

Canyon

chairs are shell/solid structures because it is a solid and can be considered a frame

A plateau is a high landform with a flat top. Plateaus are raised areas of land that are relatively flat, which are often formed through geological processes such as uplift or erosion. They can vary in size and are found all over the world.

Prince Edward Island is located in eastern Canada, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It is the smallest province in Canada and is known for its beautiful beaches, red sandstone cliffs, and agricultural landscapes.

Some of the major waterways in Europe include the Danube, Rhine, Volga, Seine, Thames, and Loire rivers. These waterways play a crucial role in trade, transportation, and tourism in the region.

The location of the canal made it difficult to build because of its distance from the countries buliding it.

Located east of the Atlantic Ocean

Mombasa is known for its beautiful white sandy beaches along the Indian Ocean, rich Swahili culture and history, and a vibrant marketplace. It is a popular tourist destination offering activities such as water sports, historical tours, and wildlife safaris. The city's Old Town area is characterized by narrow streets, ancient architecture, and historic landmarks such as Fort Jesus.

A peninsula is a landform jutting out from a mainland and surrounded by water on three sides. Some well-known examples of peninsulas include the Iberian Peninsula in Europe and the Korean Peninsula in Asia.

One such word is archipelago which can also refer to the surrounding area of water and the islands together.

The rugged terrain of Greece, with its mountains and limited arable land, influenced the development of city-states rather than large centralized kingdoms. The mild Mediterranean climate allowed for outdoor activities and sports, which became important aspects of Greek life. Agriculture was mainly based on olives and grapes due to the rocky landscape and dry summers, leading to a significant focus on trade.

The climate between the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains varies widely, influencing crop selection. Factors like temperature, precipitation, and elevation affect which crops thrive in a particular region. Farmers in this area must choose crops suited to the local climate, such as wheat and corn in the Great Plains and tobacco and soybeans in the Southeast.

The volume of Stone Mountain in Georgia is estimated to be around 4.7 billion cubic feet. It is a large granite dome monadnock, which is a type of rock formation that protrudes from the surrounding landscape.

Well, it depends on the teacher and the subject. For Example, it could be a:

Bluff

Escarpment

Mesa

or Butte (yes don't laugh =P)

I had a similar question and none of these definitions are in my book (Grade: 9th) even though there is a whole unit supposed to be filled with this. I guess it just varies. These are all from internet and landform poster pictures (also from google images =P). Just pick one ^.^

The Canadian Shield is a region rich in natural resources such as minerals like gold, silver, copper, and nickel, as well as forestry and hydroelectric power. Extraction of these resources involves mining operations, logging activities, and harnessing hydroelectric power from numerous rivers and lakes in the region. Sustainable resource management is crucial to balance economic development with environmental conservation in the Canadian Shield.

Which of the following is an example of chemical weathering?

Landforms created by ice include glaciers, moraines, cirques, and fjords. Glaciers are masses of ice that slowly move over land, shaping the landscape as they go. Moraines are ridges of sediment deposited by glaciers, cirques are bowl-shaped depressions carved by glaciers, and fjords are narrow inlets created by glacial erosion.

Mt. Stromboli is a stratovolcano. It is known for its frequent and explosive eruptions, characterized by the ejection of ash, lava, and volcanic rocks. Its steep slopes and generally conical shape are typical of stratovolcanoes.

A depositional plain is a flat landform that is created by the deposition of sediment carried by rivers, wind, or glaciers over time. This type of plain typically has a gentle slope and is formed by the accumulation of materials such as sand, silt, and clay. Depositional plains are often found near sources of water, such as rivers or coastlines.

Land plates are called continental plates. Sea plates are called oceanic plates.

External forces, such as weathering and erosion, shape surface landforms through the gradual breakdown and transportation of rocks and soil. Internal forces, like tectonic activity, produce landforms by causing uplift, folding, faulting, and volcanic eruptions that change the earth's crust. Both external and internal forces work together to create and modify the Earth's surface features over time.

The four major cultural regions of the Afro-Eurasian continent are Sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East, South Asia, and East Asia. Each region has its own unique cultural traditions, languages, and history that have developed over centuries. These regions have had significant interactions and influences on each other through trade, migration, and conquest.

South Korea is a country that is located on the Korean Peninsula. It is surrounded by water on three sides, with the Yellow Sea to the west, the Sea of Japan to the east, and the Korea Strait to the south.
