What is matter?
What is Earth's Water Cycle?
Evaporation, condensation, precipitation, run-off and infiltration.
What is does "Earth's weather" mean?
Earth's weather is the day-to-day, localized temperature, wind, and rain.
What are Tectonics Plates?
Tectonics plates are like puzzle pieces of solid rock that are HUGE and fit together to make the outer crust.
What system in the human body is responsible for carrying oxygen around the human body?
The circulatory system.
Energy is the ability to do work or cause change.
How does the Earth ocean maintain Earth's temperature?
Ocean currents transfers the around the world.
How is Earth's Climate measured?
Climate is a long term average of weather patterns for thirty years.
How do Tectonic Plates move?
They float on the layer of melted rock beneath called magma.
How does the body move around?
It uses the muscular system.
Can energy be destroyed?
No, it cannot be made or destroyed, it changes form.
What protects Earth from solar radiation?
Earth's magnetic field.
Can Earth's weather be destructive?
Yes, storms such as hurricane sand tornadoes can occur and cause widespread destruction.
What happens if two Tectonics plates crash into each other?

Waves strike matter they interact via reflection or refraction.
What is the term for where all living things are found on Earth?
The biosphere.
How do Weather & Climate affect life?
Weather affect daily decisions and climate determines long term decisions.
How did Tectonic Plate activity began Earth's history?
The constant movement of tectonic plates caused the first land mass (Pangaea) to sculpt every major physical feature on Earth.
