5. WATER, LAND AND AIR EARTH WIDER AT CENTER THEN TOP/BOTTOM WATER 70% OF PLANETS SURFACE OCEANS, LAKES, RIVERS = HYDROSPHERE LAND, OCEAN BASINS = LITHOSPHERE LAYER OF GASES ABOVE SURFACE= ATMOSPHERE LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM = BIOSPHERE

6. LANDFORMS NATURAL FEATURES OF THE EARTH’S SURFACE FOUR MAJOR- MOUNTAINS, HILLS, PLATEAUS, PLAINS UNDERWATER LANDFORMS EXIST EARTH’S MOST VISIBLE LANDFORMS ARE CONTINENTS CONTINENTAL SHELVES SLOPE OUT AS MUCH AS 800 MILES FROM LAND

7. MOUNTAIN AND HILL MOUNT SHASTA HILL IN NAPA, CALIFORNIA

8. VALLEY’S AND PLATEAUS CENTRAL VALLEY CALIFORNIAPLATEAU

9. EARTH’S HEIGHTS AND DEPTHS HIGHEST POINT ON EARTH- MT. EVEREST LOWEST DRY LAND- SHORE OF THE DEAD SEA
