Layers and Plates
The hottest layer of the Earth.
What is the inner core?
This rock forms when magma or lava cools.
What is igneous rock?
3 types of precipitation
What is rain, hail, and snow?
The layer of the atmosphere that weather occurs in.
What is the troposphere?
The movement of Earth that causes day and night.
What is rotation?
What type of boundary forms when two plates move apart and new crust is created?
What is a divergent boundary?
A soil sample drains water very quickly but does not hold nutrients well.
What is sand?
The type of water that makes us the majority of the Earth's water.
What is saltwater?
What is the stratosphere?
The amount of days it take for Earth to fully revolve around the sun
What is 365.25 days?
A scientist observes magma rising as plates move apart under the ocean, which formed a landform.
What is a mid-ocean ridge?
The five ways rocks are changed
What is melting, cooling, weathering & erosion, heat & pressure, and compacting & corrosion?
Three parts of the water cycle mentioned in the song/dance.
What is accumulation, precipitation, evaporation, and transpiration?
A region is experiencing rising air, cloud formation, and precipitation. Determine the pressure system.
What is low pressure?
The differences between the inner and outer planets.
What is the rocky planets vs the gas giants?
Two plates are sliding past each other, causing frequent earthquakes but no crust is created or destroyed.
What is transform?
A rock forms from cooling magma underground. Over time, it is broken down into sediment and later becomes a new rock. (type to type)
What is igneous to sedimentary?
After several days of heavy rain, the ground becomes saturated and water begins to flow over the land into nearby rivers and streams
What is runoff?
A weather map shows a low-pressure system moving into a region. Over time, clouds begin to form and precipitation starts.
What is because air rises, it causes water vapor to condense into clouds?
The difference gravity would have one a person standing on Earth compare to a person standing on Mars.
What is a person would weigh more on Earth because the gravity is stronger than Mars?
A tectonic plate is subducting beneath another plate.
Describe how at least TWO layers of Earth are involved in this process.
A farmer notices that after heavy rainfall, water tends to sit on the surface of the soil for long periods of time. When the soil eventually dries, it becomes very hard and cracked. Although the soil contains many nutrients, the crops are not growing well because the roots are shallow and struggle to spread.
What is clay?
The stream a shark could live in if it requires the minimum dissolved oxygen of 4ppm and pH level over 7ppm.
What is stream 3?
A region experiences several days of continuous clouds and steady rain without major temperature changes. A weather map shows two air masses meeting but not moving.
What is a stationary front?
Planets in order of greatest to least gravitational pull.
What is Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Earth, Venus, Mars, and Mercury?
