Tides
How do spring tides happen
The alignment of the Earth,Moon, and Sun during new and full moon phases.
What are the four earth sphere's?
There are Biosphere,geosphere,hydrosphere, and atmosphere.
What are the main 4 layers of the earth?
Crust,Mantle,Outer core,Inner core.
What are the three main rock types?
Igneous,sedimentary, and metamorphic.
What are Tides?
Tides are the regular rise and fall of the sea levels caused by gravitational pulls of the moon combine with earth's rotation.
How do the biosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere interact?
Plants take in CO2 from the air and water to grow.
(Photosynthesis)
What is the thinnest layer of the earth?
The crust.
How does metamorphic rock become an igneous rock?
It melts into magma and then it solidifys.
What are neap Tides?
Neap tides are a Low-range tides occurring twice a month during the first and third quarter moon phases.
How do geospheres,atmosphere and biosphere interact with each another's?
A volcano release ash into the air,Potentially destroying the surrounding forest.
(volcanic eruption)
What layers are the thickest on earth?
The mantle.
how do sediments become sedimentary rock?
Compacting and cementing.
How many high tides occur in a 24-hour period?
There are usually 2 high tides.
which part of the geosphere is the most dense and made of iron/nickel?
The inner core
What layer produces earths magnetic field
The outer core.
Does the rock cycle ever stop?
No, it is a continuous never-ending cycle.
During which moon phases do spring tides occur?
New moon and full moon
What is the cryosphere?
The cryosphere is often considered a sub-component of the hydrosphere it includes all of Earth's frozen water sea ice glaciers ice shelves and permafrost.
What causes tectonic plates to move?
Convection currents in the mantle (hot material rises,cools, and sinks)
What powers the rock cycle?
Plate tectonics (heat from the interior) and solar energy (weathering and erosion on the surface).
