Front 1

the average weather pattern for a region over a long period of time

Back 1

climate

Front 2

True - False The earth has one climate

Back 2

False -

the earth has many climates

Front 3

Climates differ in part because of interactions between the ___ and other earth systems

Back 3

atmosphere

Front 4

Air temperature [increase/decreases] with altitude

Back 4

decreases

Front 5

The climate near the top of a mountain is often [cooler/warmer] than the climate near the mountain's base

Back 5

cooler

Front 6

Because of the rain-shadow affect, which side of the mountain has a wet climate - the windward side or the leeward side?

Back 6

Windward side is considered the wet side

Front 7

Surface currents are like rivers in an ocean, the water flows in a/an [predictable or unpredictable] manner

Back 7

predictable

Front 8

Ocean currents transport thermal __ in water from place to place

Back 8

energy

Front 9

In which cycle does water move through the hydrosphere, the atmosphere, the biosphere and the geosphere

Back 9

water cycle

Front 10

Which cycle is the series of processes that transport and continually change rocks into different forms

Back 10

rock cycle

Front 11

The rock cycle takes place in which sphere?

Back 11

geosphere

Front 12

True or False - although the rock cycle takes place in the geosphere, it s affected by interaction with other earth systems

Back 12

TRUE

Front 13

As rocks move through he rock cycle, they may become igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks or --- rocks

Back 13

metamorphic

Front 14

True or False - as rocks go through the rock cycle - there are times they may change and not be rocks at all

Back 14

TRUE

Front 15

Like the water cycle, the rock cycle has a beginning and an end

Back 15

False -

neither has a beginning or an end

Front 16

Part of the rock cycle takes place on the earth's ___ and others take place deep within the geosphere

Back 16

surface

Front 17

Magma is located inside or outside of the geosphere

Back 17

inside

Front 18

When magma flows out onto the earth's surface, it is called ___

Back 18

lava

Front 19

True or false - Mineral crystals form as magma cools above the surface or lava cools below the surface

Back 19

False - 

magma cools below the surface or lava cools on the surface

Front 20

True or False - rocks formed deeper within the earth will never be exposed at the surface

Back 20

False -

even deep rocks can be exposed to the surface

Front 21

the process that moves large bodies of earth materials to higher elevations

Back 21

uplift

Front 22

True or False - after millions of years of crystallization, rocks deep below the earth's surface could move up to the surface

Back 22

false -

millions of years of uplift

Front 23

True or False - rocks below the earth's surface are exposed to the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, and the biosphere

Back 23

false - on the earth's surface

Front 24

Glaciers, wind and rain, along with the activities of some organisms, break down rocks into ___

Back 24

sediment

Front 25

the process by which glaciers, wind, and rain, along with the activities of some organisms, break down rocks in to sediment

Back 25

weathering

Front 26

Weathering of rocks into sediments is often accompanied by ___

Back 26

erosion

Front 27

this occurs when the sediments are carried by things like water, wind, glaciers to new locations

Back 27

erosion

Front 28

Water, wind or glaciers are considered to be agents of __

Back 28

erosion

Front 29

What causes the agents of erosion to slow down or stop?

Back 29

they lose their energy

Front 30

When the agents of erosion lose their energy and slow down or stop, eroded sediment are [deposited or processed] in new places.

Back 30

deposited

Front 31

As more layers of sediment are deposited, the weight pushes down on the underlying layers making them __

Back 31

compacted

Front 32

Minerals dissolved in surrounding water __ between grains of sediment and cement the sediments together.

Back 32

crystallize

Front 33

Compaction and cementation produce what type of rocks

Back 33

sedimentary

Front 34

Which rocks form when rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressure

Back 34

metamorphic

Front 35

True or False - the forming of metamorphic rock usually occurs on the earth's surface

Back 35

False -

far below the earth's surface

Front 36

True or False - igneous, sedimentary and even metamorphic rocks can become new igneous rocks

Back 36

False -

can become new metamorphic rocks

Front 37

Most interactions between the geosphere, the hydrosphere and the atmosphere occur [on or below] the earth's surface

Back 37

on

Front 38

The atmosphere and the ___ alter rocks in the geosphere, then the geosphere in turn alters the other earth systems

Back 38

hydrosphere
