8 What does the Equator divide the world into?

9 Northern and Southern Hemispheres

10 What are Cardinal Directions?

18 What you learn about the terrain on a topographic map by comparing the distance between contour lines

19 What is the steepness of slope?

20 The effect of the ocean side of a mountain receiving heavy rainfall as cool air rises over the mountain barrier at a higher, cooler elevation. This results in the air being drier when it reaches the other side of the mountain.

21 What is the Orographic effect”?
