Horst and Graben topography forms when the Earth’s crust is stretched, creating normal faults. Blocks of crust drop to form valleys (grabens), while others remain elevated (horsts), resulting in alternating ridges and valleys.
Volcanoes Volcanoes are cracks that open in the Earth’s crust through which different materials from the Earth’s interior are expelled. These cracks form when two tectonic plates collide or due to the action of the Earth’s internal forces. That is why there are more volcanoes in areas where plates meet. Additionally, a volcano can be

Representing a sphere like the Earth on a flat map is a challenging task because it requires transforming a three-dimensional object into a two-dimensional surface. Here are three main ways to do this: 1. Cylindrical Projection 2. Conical Projection 3. Azimuthal Projection EQUINOXES AND SOLSTICES Equinoxes Solstices These events cause our seasons to change and affect things like
Neil Armstrong flew aboard the Apollo 11 mission, becoming the first person to walk on the Moon. On July 20, 1969, Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed the Lunar Module Eagle in the Sea of Tranquility. During the descent, Armstrong took manual control to avoid a boulder field, landing with limited fuel. At 10:56 PM EDT,
Yuri Gagarin flew aboard the Vostok 1 spacecraft on April 12, 1961, becoming the first human in space. He completed one orbit around Earth in 108 minutes. During reentry, the spacecraft experienced unexpected gyrations due to a delayed module separation. Gagarin ejected at 7 km altitude and landed safely via parachute near Engels, Russia. Both
