What is ROYGBIV
200
List the three types of rocks and how they can be formed
What is igneous (cooling of magma), metamorphic (heat, pressure, stress), and sedimentary (weathering and erosion to form sediment and then compaction and cementation)
200
Name the three types of heat transfer
What is convection, conduction, and radiation
200

What is the Earth's tilt and revolution around the sun
200
Define proton, neutron, and electron

neutron, no charge, located in the nucleus
electron, negatively charged, orbiting around the nucleus
200
How do we measure wavelength?
What is from crest to crest or trough to trough
300
What is the driving force behind plate movement?
What is convection
300
How do we separate the layers of the atmosphere? Based off of what?
What is differences in increasing and decreasing temperature ranges.
300
Name the Jovial Planets

300
Group 1, 2, 17, and 18 have specific names... what are they?
What is Alkali Metals, Alkaline Earth metals, Halogens, Noble Gases
300
Describe reflection, refraction, and difraction
What is wave bounces off at the same angle or incidence, wave bends because it's traveling through 2 different medium, wave spreads out from passing through a narrow obstacle
400
Describe in detail how convection works in the mantle.
What is by the less dense particles rising and the more dense particles sinking causing circular currents.
400
Name the layers of the atmosphere in order, starting with the layer closes to the Earth
What is troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere.
400
Name the 4 terrestrial planets.
What is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars
400
What is a valence electron?
What is the outmost electrons of an element. Used for bonding
400
Which wave on the electromagnetic spectrum has the highest frequency and shortest wavelength?
What is Gamma radiation
500
Describe the theory of plate tectonics
What is plates in the crust are moved by convection currents causing plates to collide, diverge, or slide past each other.
500
What are the 2 other layers in the atmosphere located within other layers. Tell me which layers they are located in and their functions.
What is the ozone layer, in the stratosphere, protects us from harmful UV rays. What is the ionosphere, in the mesosphere, charged particles that allow us to use communication technologies.
500
Describe how the moon and sun influence the tides on Earth. Give the 2 major types of tides and describe them.
What is the gravitational pull of both the moon and sun cause either high or low tides. Neap tides are average tides then the Earth, moon, and sun are alined in a 90 degree angle (1st quarter and last quarter). Spring tides are extreme high and low tides when the Earth, moon, and sun are in a straight line (new moon and full moon)
500
Name the 2 types of mixtures and define them
What is homogeneous (same throughout) and heterogenous (can identify the different parts just by looking at the mixture).
500
Which wave has the lowest frequency and longest wavelength?
