Study the topographic map below.Label where the map indicates the highest relief.Describe one possible interpretation of why this landscape has an area of high relief and other areas of lower relief.

Starting with a drop of water in the ocean,describe a full cycle of movement of the water drop through the hydrologic cycle (the water must end up back in the ocean).Through what reservoirs does that water move? What physical forms does the water take (e.g.,liquid,solid,gas)?

Provide three examples of agents of erosion.Would the landforms created by each of these agents be similar or different? Explain.
