Front 1

CONSTRUCTIVE PROCESS

Back 1

A natural process that builds up land masses on Earth's surface

Front 2

DESTRUCTIVE PROCESS

Back 2

A natural process that wears down land masses on Earth's surface

Front 3

3 EXAMPLES OF DESTRUCTIVE PROCESS

Back 3

Weathering, Erosion, Earthquakes, and landslides

Front 4

EXAMPLES OF CONSTRUCTIVE PROCESS

Back 4

Lava cools forming new land

Sediments from a river deposit forming a delta

Wind blows sand forming a sand dune

Front 5

Define weathering

Back 5

Breaking down the rocks into very small particles by gravity,water,wind and ice

Front 6

Canyons

Back 6

A deep ravine between cliffs that are formed from millions of years of weathering and erosion usually caused by rivers

Front 7

Plain

Back 7

A large area of land that is flat

Front 8

Mountain

Back 8

A large land formation that rises above the surrounding area

Front 9

Delta

Back 9

Where a river slows down, deposits sediment,and land builds up

Front 10

What is the order of the Earth's layers from outermost to innermost

Back 10

Crust

Mantle

Outer core

Inner core

Front 11

Crust

Back 11

Solid layer the thinnest layer

Front 12

Mantle

Back 12

Made of molten rock, thick layer

Front 13

Core

Back 13

Made of two parts, intensely hot, made of iron and nickel

Front 14

If a seashell is found on a mountain we can conclude

Back 14

The mountain was covered with salt water

Front 15

What happens to metamorphic rock before it cools and becomes igneous rock?

Back 15

Melting

Front 16

Why can fossils be found in sedimentary rock?

Back 16

Remains of dead plants and animals are covered with mud and pressure forms these layers into rock.

Front 17

What is similar about igneous rock and metamorphic rock the following must happen?

Back 17

Heat and pressure

Front 18

Sedimentary rock

Back 18

Rock created from deposition of sediments in layers over long periods of time

Front 19

Igneous rock

Back 19

Rock formed from cooling lava

Front 20

Metamorphic rock

Back 20

Rock formed from heat and pressure

Front 21

Geosphere

Back 21

The system that makes up all the solid and molten rock, soil,and sediments that are found on the planet.they serve as our foundation,which everything else on our planet

Front 22

Biosphere

Back 22

The system on Earth that contains all living things including humans and plants

Front 23

Hydrosphere

Back 23

The system of earth that contains all of the ice and water

Front 24

Atmosphere

Back 24

A gaseous layer that surrounds Earth and makes life possible on our planet.This layer of gas protects us from the Sun's radiation and provide us with breathable air

Front 25

The largest piece of hydrosphere is?

Back 25

The world's oceans

Front 26

What percent of the water on Earth is stored in the oceans?

Back 26

97%

Front 27

Order freshwater from largest amount to the smallest amount?

Back 27

Glaciers

Groundwater

Lakes,Rivers,and swamps

Front 28

Biosphere and hydrosphere

Back 28

Most land animals need freshwater to survive. This is an interaction between which 2 systems

Front 29

Rock,soils, sediments

Back 29

An investigation of Earth's geosphere would include which of the following features

Front 30

Biosphere

Back 30

Which system would have the features of plants, animals, and fungus

Front 31

Atmosphere

Back 31

System that feature nitrogen,oxygen,and carbon dioxide

Front 32

An investigation of Earth's hydrosphere would include?

Back 32

Ice and water

Front 33

The atmosphere and the sun's energy interact to form

Back 33

Weather patters on Earth

Front 34

2 examples of interaction between systems

Back 34

Plants release oxygen into the air is an interaction between the biosphere and the atmosphere

Animals live at the bottom of the ocean is an interaction between the biosphere and the hydrosphere
