Solar System
Earth is in this galaxy.
What is the Milky Way Galaxy?
This layer is believed to be made of solid nickel and iron and has the greatest density.
What is the inner core?
Differences in air pressure (caused by uneven heating) are the primary source for creating this.
What is the wind?
Data is showing there has been a steady increase in global atmospheric....
What is temperatures?
The type of resources formed naturally in Earth’s environment.
What are renewable resources?
This influences the change of the seasons on Earth.
What is the tilt of Earth?
The “driving force” that causes water to change its state of matter.
What is the sun?
The process of breaking down rocks into smaller fragments
What is weathering?
The regions that receive and release more solar energy are more likely to develop hurricanes.
What are over the ocean and near the Equator?
The least common fuel used in the United States.
What is coal?
This theory states that the Sun is at the center of the Solar System.
What is the Heliocentric theory?
The Moon affects the tides on Earth with....
What is gravity and inertia?
This allows the changes on Earth’s surface, Earth’s layers, and the rock cycle
What are plate tectonics?
This type of pressure tends to bring cloudy, rainy, and snowy weather conditions
What is low pressure?
These natural resources can be burned to release heat energy
What are coal and oil?
This theory states that the Earth is at the center of the Solar System.
What is the Geocentric theory?
Convection currents in this layer help plates move.
What is the mantle?
Water flowing through limestone deposits can dissolve minerals, causing weathering and erosion, leading to this landform.
What are caves?
The average wind speed, humidity, and temperature of an area over an extended period of time.
What is climate?
The process by which fertile land becomes desert.
What is desertification?
Scientists believe this theory is how the universe originated, and all matter and energy were concentrated in a single location.
What is the Big Bang Theory?
When the Moon blocks sunlight to the Earth
What is a solar eclipse?
The difference between erosion and weathering.
What is weathering is the breakdown into sediment, and erosion is the transportation of sediment?
This pressure is usually associated with clear skies and dry weather.
What is high pressure?
The human activities that contribute to desertification.
What is soil loss and/or removal of vegetation?
