Lunar Cycle
If we have a Full Moon on February 12th, when will the next New Moon be?
March 1st
What are the 4 plate boundaries?
convergent collision, convergent subduction, divergent, transform
What is the basic principle behind convection currents?
Convection currents are driven by differences in temperature and density. Warm materials rise, while cooler materials sink
When looking at a weather forecast, how can you tell there is a warm/cold front coming? Describe it
Bubbles = warm front
Spikes = cold front
what's my favorite color?
PINK
How many phases do we have?
8 phases
Describe each plate boundary
convergent collision, convergent subduction, divergent, transform
Where can convection currents happen?
Liquids or Gases!
Earth's mantle
Oceans
Atmosphere
Even in your cup of coffee!
The movement of air masses caused by differences in air pressure (or density) leads to the......
formation of FRONTS.
Who's my favorite student?
me, myself, and I
(Jesus, maggie, yaraliz, ivette, jorge, ashlee, aimee, or yareli) SOMETIMES THOUGH
What are the 4 main phases?
New Moon, Full Moon, 1st Quarter, and Last (3rd) Quarter
At which type of boundary do plates move away from each other?
Divergent
How do convection currents transfer heat?
Convection currents transfer heat by the movement of the fluid itself. The warm fluid carries the heat energy with it as it rises, and then releases the heat as it cools and sinks.
Describe a cold front
dry cold wind, cloudy, strong winds
What color is my car?
white
What phases occur during a Neap Tide?
If two plates are sliding past each other horizontally, what type of boundary is it?
Transform
Can you give a simple example of a convection current in action?
When you boil water in a pot, the heat from the stove warms the water at the bottom. This warm water rises, while the cooler water at the top sinks to take its place. This circular movement of water is a convection current.
Describe a warm front
increased temperature, weak wings, clear skies
The sky is....
blue
How long does the entire lunar cycle take?
28 days or 1 full month
Can you name a specific example of a location where each type of plate boundary can be found?
Why does warm air rise, while cool air sinks?
Warm air is less dense than cool air. Think of it like a hot air balloon – the heated air inside the balloon is less dense than the cooler air outside, causing it to rise.
What causes and strengthens a hurricane?
WARM WATER
when is my birthday?
9/10
