Landforms can be defined as:
extremely hot fluid or semi-fluid material under Earth’s crust
the natural features that make up the Earth’s surface
a long high wave caused by an undersea earthquake; a Japanese term meaning “harbour wave”.
the release of energy through Earth’s crust due to changes taking place beneath it
Volcano Mountains form:
because of the height of the land above sea level
because of a long high wave caused by an undersea earthquake; a Japanese term meaning “harbour wave”.
because there is a sudden rise in sea level caused by high winds pushing water towards the coastlines
because there is an opening in Earth’s crust from which molten rock or magma escapes to reach the surface
The height of the land above sea level is called the:
Elevation
Landform
Precipitation
Vegetation
These are areas of very old rock formed from ancient mountain regions that have been worn down over millions of years. They exist on every continent in the world.
Lowlands
Plateau
Hills
Shield
Which of these are true about valleys
they are created in several ways
they release of energy through Earth’s crust due to changes taking place beneath it
they are an area of low land between areas of higher land
they were formed at the bottom of what were once seas
they often have a river or stream is flowing through them in the direction of the slope
Which of these are true about plains:
they are an area that is generally quite flat but they can also have areas of gently rolling hills
they are usually found at high elevations
they are usually found at low elevations
they are well suited to agriculture and farming
some were formed at the bottom of what were once seas
Two plains located along coastlines in Canada are:
the Rockies Lowlands
the Cordillera Lowlands
the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Lowlands
the Hudson's Bay Lowlands
the Tatooine Lowlands
Plains located along coastlines are called:
Lowlands
Highlands
Soggy
Beaches
Lowlifes
Which of these are true about plateaus:
they often have a river or stream flowing through them in the direction of the slope
they are a large area of mainly flat land found at high elevations and are found in mountainous regions and sometimes between two mountains.
they are created by movements under Earth’s surface that lift the land
they occur at higher elevations than plains
they have another name: tablelands
Which of these are true about fold mountains:
exist in contradiction to the theory that the Earth’s surface is made up of rigid plates that are pushed by forces inside the planet
are located where the edges of tectonic plates arch up inridges, like a wrinkled carpet
are located far away from where tectonic plates collided or are colliding
are huge crumpled ridges where tectonic plates collide.
are mountains so large that they often divide rivers, create clear climate regions and mountains create unique conditions for vegetation and animals = ecozones
The theory that the Earth’s surface is made up of rigid plates that are pushed by forces inside the planet is called the theory of:
Tsunami
Landforms
Elevation
Erosion
Plate Tectonics
In Canada, we have mountains on the
West Coast
East Coast
Hudson Bay Coast
Interior Plains
Northern Coast
