Atmosphere Layers
Where is most of the Earth's oxygen found?
Troposphere
What is lithosphere?
landforms; mountains, plains, rocks
Is the crust cold or hot?
cold, otherwise we could not walk on it
True or False:
The Earth's crust is made of plate tectonics.
True, that is the layers of the crust
True or False:
The eye of a hurricane is the safest place to be when a hurricane rolls through your town.
False, the eye is the most dangerous portion, it holds the most power.
Which layer is the hottest?
Thermosphere
rivers, ponds, lakes; supports water life
What is the core made out of?
hard iron and metals
True or False:
All of the continents were once together.
True, it was called Pangea
True or False:
Blizzards are formed when there is a large amount of snow, rain, and winds over a extended amount of time.
True
Which layer is the coldest?
Mesosphere
What is the cryosphere?

True or False:
A flood is caused by a quick heavy rain fall in a matter of minutes.
False, a flood is caused by heavy rain fall over an extended amount of time.
Troposphere
What is the biosphere?
a place that supports life
What is the mantle made of?
Molten rock, where magma is found
True or False:
Volcanoes are formed when plates move apart from each other.
True
True or False:
Tornadoes are formed when cold air and cold air hit, causing them to create a wall cloud that turns into funnel clouds.
False, it is when hot air and cold air collide and cause it to create a wall cloud. That wall cloud then forms into a funnel cloud causing a tornado.
What are the 5 layers of the atmosphere, in order
Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere
What are the 5 biomes we have talked about?
Lithosphere, Biosphere, Crysophere, Hydrosphere, Atomosphere
What are the 3 layers of Earth?
Crust, Mantle, Core
True or False:
A volcano is formed when plates move together.
False, its when plates move apart
What is the hot molten rocks that come out of a volcano?
It is called magma until it hits the air. When it hits the air, it is then called lava.
