The region of the surface, atmosphere, and hydrosphere of the Earth's surface (or analogous parts of other planets) occupied by living organisms.

Alex Cervantes- Latitude

2017-02-10 22:00:38 UTC

Latitude definition: The angular distance of a place north or south of the earth`s equator, or of a celestial object north or south of the celestial equator, usually expressed in degress

Thermal Energy - Pablo SIlvar

2017-02-10 22:01:44 UTC

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from heat. This heat is generated by the movement of tiny particles within an object. The faster these particles move, the more heat is generated.

Ore - Denilson Rebollar

2017-02-10 22:02:29 UTC

Rock that contains a metal or useful mineral .

Contour Lines- Sandra

2017-02-10 22:06:25 UTC

a line on a map joining points of equal height above or below sea level.

Elevation-Andrea Montalvo

400057 — 2017-02-10 22:11:15 UTC

Height above sea level.

Elevation: Hadassah Rodriguez

2017-02-13 18:59:53 UTC

The action or fact of elevating or being elevated.

Plateau - Tyler An area of relatively level high ground

2017-02-13 19:00:23 UTC

Elevation - Jazmin Ruiz

2017-02-13 19:00:28 UTC

Height above a given level, especially sea level.

Plain - Vanessa Zamorano

2017-02-13 19:00:41 UTC

In geography, a plain is a flat area. Plains occur as lowlands along the bottoms of valleys, coastal plains and as plateaus or uplands at high elevations. In a valley, a plain is enclosed on two sides but in other cases a plain may be delineated by a complete or partial ring of hills, by mountains or cliffs.

Index Contour-Dario Facundo

2017-02-13 19:02:26 UTC

index contour line. On a topographic map, a contour line that is thicker than the rest and usually labeled with the elevation that it represents. Depending on the contour interval, every fourth or fifth contour line may be an index contour.

Sediment rock - Erwin Gomez

2017-02-13 19:02:38 UTC

Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposition and subsequent cementation of that material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water. Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause mineral and/or organic particles (detritus) to settle in place.

Julie Anguiano - Atmosphere

2017-02-13 19:03:01 UTC

The envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet.

Scale - Jasmine Mancilla

2017-02-13 19:04:08 UTC

Map scale refers to the relationship (or ratio) between distance on a map and the corresponding distance on the ground. For example, on a 1:100000 scale map, 1cm on the map equals 1km on the ground.

Topography- Jacky Mendoza

2017-02-13 19:04:18 UTC

The arrangement of the natural and artificial physical features of an area.

Metamorphic Rock - Daniel Panameno

371484 — 2017-02-13 19:04:24 UTC

Rock that forms when a rock is change by heat and pressure or chemical reaction.

Crystal - Melissa Perez

2017-02-13 19:04:54 UTC

A piece of a homogeneous solid substance having a natural geometrically regular form with symmetrically arranged plane faces.

Erosion - Josue Alcaraz

2017-02-13 19:05:14 UTC

Erosion is the transportation of sediment by wind, water, ice, or gravity.

Samuel Hernandez - Latitude

2017-02-13 19:05:17 UTC

The angular distance of a place north or south of the earth's equator, or of a celestial object north or south of the celestial equator, usually expressed in degrees and minutes.
