10.____ elevation j. a two-dimensional, or flat, representation of earth
11.____ relief g. the change in elevation from one place to another
12.____ projection l. imaginary lines that run east to west, parallel to the equator

Explanation:

1. "globe" is a three - dimensional representation of Earth, so it matches H.
2. "map" is a two - dimensional representation of Earth, so it matches J.
3. "latitude" are imaginary lines running east - west, parallel to the equator, so it matches L.
4. "equator" is the center line of latitude, so it matches B.
5. "longitude" are imaginary lines running from North to South Pole, so it matches E.
6. "prime meridian" is the center line of longitude through Greenwich, England, so it matches K.
7. "hemisphere" means half of Earth, so it matches C.
8. "scale" shows distance representation on a map, so it matches F.
9. "cartographer" is a mapmaker, so it matches I.
10. "elevation" is the height of a physical feature above sea level, so it matches A.
11. "relief" is the change in elevation from one place to another, so it matches G.
12. "projection" is a way to show Earth's curved surface on a flat map, so it matches D.
