The scientific study of the universe. Contour Line

The amount of protons and neutrons located in the nucleus of an atom.

The solid, plastic layer of the mantle beneath the lithosphere; made of mantle rock that flows very slowly, which allows tectonic plates to move on top of it.

A line on a map that represents a constant or equal value of a given quantity.

The solid, outer layer of Earth that consists of the crust and the rigid upper part of the mantle.

The part of the Earth where life exists; includes all of the living organisms on Earth.

The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.

The scientific study of the origin, history, and structure of Earth and the processes that shape the Earth.

An atom, radical, or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons and has a negative or positive charge.

The distance north or south from the equator; expressed in degrees.

The mostly solid, rocky part of the Earth; extends from the center of the core to the surface of the crust.

An atom that has the same number of protons (or the same atomic number) as other atoms of the same elements but that has a different number of neutrons (and thus a different atomic mass).

The angular distance east or west from the prime meridian; expressed in degrees.

The difference between the highest and lowest elevations in a given area; the variation in elevation of a land surface.

The portion of the Earth that is water.

The smallest unit of an electron that maintains the chemical properties of that element.

The size and shape of the land surface features of a region, including its relief.

A subatomic particle that has a negative charge.

The scientific study of Earth's atmosphere, especially in relation to weather and climate.

A group of atoms that are held together by chemical forces; a molecule is the smallest unit of matter that can exist by itself and retain all of a substance's chemical properties.

The scientific study of the ocean, including the properties and movements of ocean water, the characteristics of the ocean floor, and the organisms that live in the ocean.

A mixture of gases that surround a planet or moon.

A subatomic particle that has no charge and that is located in the nucleus of an atom.

A subatomic particle that has a positive charge and that is located in the nucleus of an atom; the number of protons of the nucleus is the atomic number, which determines the identity of an element.

A line that connects points of equal elevation on a map.
