What resources is non-renewable and must be burned to harness energy. |
Fossil Fuels |
|
When two tectonic plates are coming together or colliding. |
Convergent boundary |
|
This type of rock is created by sediment, from weathering and erosion, coming together to form layers |
Sedimentary Rocks |
|
This type of boundary is when two plates are moving away from each other. |
Divergent Boundary |
|
This type of rock is made by being melted down into lava and cooled back into a rock. |
Igneous Rocks |
|
This type of boundary is where two plates are siding or scraping against one another. |
Transform Boundary |
|
An event that happens below the crust that causes the plates to move. It is the circular movement of molten rock. |
Convection Currents. |
|
A violent explosion of Lava, Gas and Ash that can totally change the look of a mountain. |
Volcanic Eruption |
|
This element is responsible for all life on Earth. |
Oxygen |
|
The large, slowly moving, pieces of land that all life exist on. |
Tectonic Plates |
|
Fossil Fuels are the most quickly disappearing non-renewable resources on Earth. True or False? |
True |
|
If a Diamond is a 10 on the Hardness Scale, and Quartz is a 7, Quartz can scratch diamond. True or False? |
False |
|
Wind energy, Solar energy, and Geothermal energy are all renewable resource. True or False? |
True |
|
Burning fossil fuels is bad for the Earth because it raises the overall temperature of the Earth. True or False? |
True |
|
Having more cars burning gas is a great way to stop pollution. |
False |
|
What is the non-renewable resource that is most used every day? |
Fossil Fuels |
|
What plate do we live on? |
North American Plate |
|
What layer of Earth has water on it? Crust, Mantle, or Core. |
Crust |
|
Na, which is sodium, is in salt water, what other two elements make up water? |
Hydrogen and Oxygen |
|
How can a metamorphic rock be turned into an igneous rock? |
Metamorphic rocks underground melt to become magma. When a volcano erupts, magma flows out of it. (When magma is on the earth's surface, it is called lava.) As the lava cools it hardens and becomes an igneous rock. |
|
Earthquakes can result from these types of plate movements. |
Divergent boundary, convergent boundary, and subduction |
|
What are faults? |
When two plates slide against each other and create a break in the Earth's crust. |
|
Volcanoes can form along the edges when these types of plate movements occur. |
Convergent Boundary. |
|
One of the plate edges can sink below the other in this type of movement. |
Convergent. This is also Subduction |
|
This type of plate movement may create new seas when ocean water fills the gap between the plates. |
Divergent Boundary |
|
What is B? |
Pacific Plate |
|
What is D |
North American Plate |
|
What is F? |
Nazca Plate |
|
What is G |
South American Plate |
|
What is I? |
African Plate |
|
What is L? |
Australian Plate |
|
What is J? |
Eurasian Plate |
|
What is M? |
Philippine Sea Plate |
|
What is K? |
Arabian Plate |
|
What is N? |
Antartic Plate |
|
What is the Northern Hemisphere? |
The half that is north of the equator. |
|
Where is it more likely to have Earthquakes in the Northern Hemisphere |
California and the San Andreas fault line. |
|
What different kinds of landforms come from Plate tectonics? |
Volcanos, Valleys, Mountains, Hills, etc. |
|
What elements would usually be found in the ocean? |
Hydrogen and Oxygen |
|
Name the four most common renewable energies? |
Wind, Sunlight, Water, and Livestock |
|
What is the main cause for pollution in big cities? |
Burning fossil fuels |
|
Which is the least reliable energy source out of Hydro electricity, Solar energy, Fossil Fuels, and Wind energy? |
Fossil Fuels |
|
What is the order of the earths layers from top to bottom? |
Crust, Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Upper Mantle, Lower Mantle, Outer Core, and Inner Core |
|
A force that Earth exerts due to an objects mass. |
Gravity |
|
Pushes or pulls between objects |
Forces |
|
The process by which glaciers cut, carve or scratch the Earth's surface. |
Glacial Erosion |
|
The effect when lava builds up from the ocean floor to above sea level. |
Volcanic Island |
|
The force or pull between the poles of magnets. |
Magnetism |
|
A supercontinent containing all of the Earth's land that existed about 225 million years ago. |
Pangea |
|
The sphere of solid nickel and iron at the center of Earth surrounded by the liquid outer core. |
Inner Core |
|
The rigid outer part of Earth consisting of the crust and upper mantle. |
Lithosphere |
|
The amount of force applied of matter through contact with other matter, and it affects melting and boiling points. |
pressure |
|
Formed when magma cools beneath the Earth's surface or when lava cools at the Earth's surface. |
Igneous Rock |
|
Sand and sediments lay down at the bottom carried with by wind, water, or ice. |
