A continent is a group of islands

A continent is a large country.

A continent is a large, continuous landmass.

A continent is an assemblage of several countries.

A map is a visual illustration of all or a part of the Earth's surface as seen from above.

A map show major—some minor highways—and roads, airports, railroad tracks, cities and other points of interest in an area. People use road maps to plan trips and for driving directions.

A map features the type of natural resources or economic activity that dominates an area. Cartographers use symbols to show the locations of natural resources or economic activities. For example, oranges on a map of Florida tell you that oranges are grown there.

A map includes contour lines to show the shape and elevation of an area. Lines that are close together indicate steep terrain, and lines that are far apart indicate flat terrain.

It does not show physical features. Instead, they indicate state and national boundaries and capital and major cities. A capital city is usually marked with a star within a circle.

It features the type of natural resources or economic activity that dominates an area. Cartographers use symbols to show the locations of natural resources or economic activities. For example, oranges on a map of Florida tell you that oranges are grown there.

It illustrates the physical features of an area, such as the mountains, rivers and lakes. The water is usually shown in blue. Colours are used to show relief—differences in land elevations. Green is typically used at lower elevations, and orange or brown indicate higher elevations.

It gives general information about the climate and precipitation (rain and snow) of a region. Cartographers, or mapmakers, use colours to show different climate or precipitation zones.

Rain is the only form of precipitation that falls from clouds.

Ice cannot exist in the upper atmosphere.

Our earth has been recycling the same water for billions of years.

Most of Earth's water is in the form of water vapor.

It provides the energy for the cycle.

It causes a warm front to move in.

It causes the clouds to rain.

It melts ice.

The process whereby small droplets of water in clouds form larger droplets causing rain, hail, snow or sleet to occur

The process whereby water changes from a liquid state to a gaseous state.

Water vapor rises into the atmosphere

Water cools and turns into ice.

Water soaks into the ground.

Water vapour in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid, forming clouds.

The process by which plants lose water out of their leaves. It gives evaporation a bit of a hand in getting the water vapour back up into the air.

Water runs along the ground.

When it has not rained for a long period of time.

When too much water from the ocean is getting evaporated.

When mountains block the path of wind carrying warm moist air.

When cold dry air is being blocked by a mountain range.
