Atmosphere
What is the name of the layer of atmosphere where we live?
What is Troposphere?
What is Earth's main source of energy?
What is The Sun.
What's my favorite color?
Purple
What are the four layers of the Earth??
Crust, Mantle, Inner core, Outer Core
What would happen to a surface if it absorbed more solar energy?
It would heat up more
What is the order of the five layers of the atmosphere from Earth's surface upward? (Lowest to Highest)
Troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere
Which heats a surface more, concentrated sunlight of sunlight or sunlight spread over a larger area?
What is concentrated sunlight??
Whats my favorite day of the week?
Saturday going into Sunday
What happens at a divergent boundary?
Two tectonic plates move apart.
What would happen if sunlight was spread over a larger area instead of concentrated in a smaller area?
The energy is less concentrated, so the surface would generally heat less.
In which layer does most of Earth's weather occur?
Troposphere
Let's say the sun is directly heating two cars, a white one, and a black one. Which car has a higher Albedo??
The white one because white is more reflective, as where the black one absorbs.
Whats my favorite album?
You seem so sad for a girl so in love
What's the difference between weathering and erosion in the rock cycle?
Weathering breaks rock or material down, while erosion moves the material.
What would happen if Earth's surface had a higher albedo instead of absorbing it?
The surface would be less hot since it's reflecting more of it.
Which layer contains the ozone layer?
What is Stratosphere
How does the greenhouse effect work?
It works like an actual greenhouse; Greenhouse gases trap some heat that Earth releases after being warmed from the Sun.
What my favorite holiday?
Halloween
Why can earthquakes happen along faults?
Stress can build up in rocks, a slip along the fault, causes energy to be released.
What would happen if two tectonic plates moved away from each other?
A divergent boundary would form. Magma would rise into the space between the plates and cool, creating new crust.
Which layer destroys the shooting stars that are coming down before they reach Earth?
What is the mesosphere?
Imagine Earth's surface was completely flat instead of curved. How would this change the way sunlight heats different parts of Earth?
Sunlight would hit the surface at more similar angles, Earth wouldn't have uneven heating.
What type of teacher do i want to be?
Earth Science or Enviromental Science
Explain how can plate movement lead to both earthquakes and volcanoes?
Plates can build up stress that is released as earthquakes. Plates can also allow magma to rise toward the surface and form volcanoes.
What would happen if a volcano erupted and released magma onto Earth's surface?
The magma would become lava once it reached the surface and could cool and harden into rock.
