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 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.

Deposition
