atmosphere and the
oceans; It is composed
of the core, the mantle,
and the crust.

20.  Because the

into three main parts
based on differences
in composition—the
____, the _____, and
the ______.

22. Geosphere
 ______: the innermost
layer of Earth, located
beneath the mantle; The
core is divided into an
outer core and an inner
core.

kilometer-thick layer of
Earth located below the
crust

outer layer of Earth

 __________: all life on
Earth; the parts of the
solid Earth,
hydrosphere, and
atmosphere in which
living organisms can be
found.

25. Plate Tectonics
 the theory that proposes
that Earth’s outer shell
consists of individual
plates that interact in
various ways and thereby
produce earthquakes,
volcanoes, mountains, and
the crust itself.

directions, and slope
angles.

38. Contour Lines
 ________ _________: line
on a topographic map that
indicates an elevation; Every
point along a contour line has
the same elevation.

topographic map, tells the
distance in elevation between
adjacent contour lines

39. Maps and Mapping
1.3 Representing Earth’s Surface
 No matter what kind of map is made,
some portion of the surface will always
look either too small, too big, or out of
place. Mapmakers have, however, found
ways to limit the distortion of shape, size,
distance and direction.
