3. What does the topography of an area include?

8. What are the main types of landforms?

10. PLAINS coastal plain. Plains along the seacoast is called a coastal plain. Coastal plains have both low elevation and low relief. Interior plains Plains that lie away from the coast are called Interior plains. Interior plains have low relief, but their elevation may vary.

12. MOUNTAINS mountain range Mountains usually occur as part of a mountain range Mountain range is a group of mountains that are closely related in shape, structure, and age. Example:The Cascade Range is a mountain range that runs from Washington State through Oregon to northern Califonrnia

17. How do maps represent Earth’s surface and help find locations?

19. 1 unit on the map = 25,000 units on the ground 1 centimeter on a map = 0.25 kilometers 1cm to 25,000km

20. MAPS Mapmakers use shapes and pictures called symbols to stand for features on Earth’s surface. A symbol can represent a physical feature, such as a river, lake, mountain, or plain. A symbol can also stand for human-made features, such as a highway, city or airport. A map’s key,or legend, is a list of all the symbols and what they mean.

24. The Prime Meridian is another imaginary line that passes through Greenwich, England. The Prime Meridian separates the Western and Eastern Hemispheres. PRIME MERIDIAN
