1. Earth, and its features
2. "Spatial analysis is a type of geographical analysis which seeks to explain patterns of human behavior and its spatial expression in terms of mathematics and geometry, that is, locational analysis", "Examples include nearest neighbor analysis and Thiessen polygons"
3. "the study of the physical features of the earth and its atmosphere, and of human activity as it affects and is affected by these, including the distribution of populations and resources, land use, and industries."
4. physical: study of earth's/nature's features (climate, plate tectonics, etc.), human: study of impact/behavior or humans, how they act and react to/in the physical world, etc.
5. "a diagrammatic representation of an area of land or sea showing physical features, cities, roads, etc."

Answer:
Biome
Explanation:
Typically, in ecology we classify a large area with similar flora and fauna throughout its boundaries as a biome. These biomes have a relatively similar climate and terrain throughout their “borders” .This means that even though biomes can generally be similar on Earth, they're not all the same.
Answer:
Option (C)
Explanation:
A barrier island is usually defined as a long and narrow type of land that is dominantly comprised of sand particles and are oriented parallel to the coastal mainland.
The presence of a barrier island protects the coastal rocks from getting eroded by the strong water waves, wind, and tidal effects. This acts as a barrier and there lies a lagoon between the coastal landform and the barrier island.
It plays an important role in the ecosystem as it provides valuable nutrients and minerals, supporting a large number of living species.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
Relative location isn't the exact location so they would have to be using their mental imagery of a map. For example, after you go to fro a place so many times, you will grow accustomed to it thus by using mental imagery of a map would be a good answer.
Degrades the quality of water for drinking, wildlife, and the land surrounding streams
