| contour lines | On a topographic map, it connects points of equal elevation |
| plain | A landform made up of flat or gently rolling land with low relief |
| Hemisphere | one half of the sphere that makes up Earth's surface |
| Index contour | Used to find elevation on a topographic map |
| Relief, elevation, landforms | The topography of an area depends on this |
| Lithosphere | Made up of continents, islands and ocean floor |
| Key | Lists of all symbols on a map |
| Prime Meridian | Runs through Greenwich, England |
| Equator | Imaginary line that circles Earth halfway between the poles |
| Landform region | A large area of land where the topography is similar |
| Contour interval | The elevation difference between one contour line and the next |
| Plateau | A landform that has high elevation and a more or less level surface |
| Elevation | Difference in height between highest and lowest points |
| Steep slopes | Represented by closely spaced contour lines |
| biosphere | Living things, extends into each of the other spheres |
| Same latitude means | Same distance north or south of the equator |
| Elevation, Relief, Slope | Topographic maps show this |
| A closed loop | Contour lines representing the top of a hill |
| Depression in the ground | Contour lines forming closed loop with dashes pointing to inside |
| Hydrosphere | Rivers, lakes, oceans included in this sphere |
| Relief | Difference in elevation between highest and lowest parts of an area |
| Ocean floor | Part of the lithosphere |
| Longitude | Distance in degrees east or west of the prime meridian |
| Topography | Elevation, relief, landforms determine this in an area |
