Find these words
How much of our spinning globe is covered by deep seawater compared to solid ground? You can trace every imaginary line from the equator to a hidden trench while searching for these geographical terms.
Some puzzle books print word find on the cover and others print word search. This continents and oceans grid works for either.
Frequently asked questions
Why do we use the term landmass instead of just calling everything an island?
That term helps distinguish vast stretches of continental crust from much smaller areas of land surrounded by water.
What exactly creates a deep trench on the seafloor?
These narrow underwater valleys form when massive tectonic plates shift and slowly push against each other.
