Cliff: They are steep rock formations in high coastal areas.
-
Continental Drift: It is a new theory. There was only continent, which broke up millions of years ago. (Pangaea).
-
Continental shelf: It is a place near coastlines. These shelves are vast plateaus which reach of 150 metres.
-
Continental slope: It is a place to lead down to the deeper part of oceans.
-
Core: It is the deepest layer of the Earth. The core is part solid and part liquid.
-
Crater: It is the upper of volcano when magma comes out.
-
Crust: It is the surface layer of the Earth. It is a thin, solid layer made of rock.
-
Delta: It is a triangular area at the mouth of a river.
-
Earthquake:It is caused by plate tectonics. When two plates crash, there is a release of energy that makes the ground vibrate. This vibration is an earthquake.
-
Erosion: It is the fragmentation and dissolution of rocks, soil and mud, which is transported by wind or water.
-
Estuary: It is the part of a river where it meets the sea.
-
Fault: They are blocks rise or sink.
-

-
Fold: They are created when the Earth’s surface undulates where plates collide.
-
Gulf: It is a large area of a sea or ocean partially enclosed by land.
-
Island: It is an area of land surrounded by water on all sides.
-
Isthmus: It connects a peninsula to a continent.
-
Lava: It is magma comes out of a volcano.
-
Lower course: It is down part the river.
-
Lower mantle: It is the intermediate layer. It has a depth of 700 to 3,000 km.
-
Magma: It is molten rock. It is a very hot material that comes out when a volcano is an opening.
-
Mantle: It is the intermediate layer of the Earth. This layer is almost 85% of the Earth’s volume.
-
Marine Erosion: waves and currents wear away coasts and create cliffs. The water transports the sediment and deposits it. It forms beaches.
-

-
Pipe: It is a part of volcano through the magma rises.
-
Plain: They are low, flat areas of land.
-
Plateau: They are large, raised plains.
-
Sediment: They are the erosion’s materials which rests on a basin.
-
Solution: water dissolves some rocks, such as limestone, producing unusual caves and landscapes.
-
Tectonic Plate: They are the different plates the Earth’s crust. It is a theory
-
Tsunami: It is an earthquake on the ocean floor.
-
Upper course: It is the high part in a river.
-
Upper mantle: this is a layer of the Earth that has a depth of 70 to 700 km. It is below the crust.
-
Valley:It is an area of low land between mountains.
-
Volcano:It is an opening in the surface of the Earth through which very hot material comes out.
-
Waterfall: It is a section of a river where the water falls vertically.
