This is worn on your face to protect your eyes during certain experiments.
What are safety goggles?
"A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment."
What is Ecosystem?
"The condition of the atmosphere at a particular at a particular place and time."
What is weather?
"The movement of sediments by wind, water, ice, or gravity."
What is erosion?
"Large body of non-fresh salt water"
What is the ocean?
When using glass during a lab procedure and you knock it off the table and it shatters, what should you do?
What is tell the teacher and allow him/her to clean it up?
"The envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet."
What is Atmosphere?
"Long term patterns over a period of time of an area. The average over many years."
What is climate?
"When sediments carried by wind, water, or ice are dropped (deposited) in a new location. Creating new landforms like sand dunes, sand barges and deltas."
What is deposition?
"Water that contains little or no dissolved salts often found in ice caps, glaciers, aquifers, rivers, and lakes."
What is fresh water?
This is used when handling hot objects in the lab.
What are hot hands or tongs?
"All the waters on the earth's surface, such as lakes and seas, and sometimes including water over the earth's surface, such as clouds."
What is Hydrosphere?
"A degree of hotness or coldness the can be measured using a thermometer."
What is temperature?
"Breaking down of rocks and minerals due to wind, water, ice, chemical reaction, or biological matter."
What is weathering?
"Act much like a conveyor belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics."
What is ocean current?
When unplugging an electrical cord in your lab station you should pull the cord or grab the plug?
What is grab the plug?
"The solid portion of the earth (distinguished from atmosphere, hydrosphere). the crust and upper mantle of the earth."
What is Geosphere?
"Rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls from couds in the sky are all forms of"
What is precipitation?
"Minerals fill spaces between sediments cementing sedimentary rocks together."
What is cementation?
"Moving water carries away rock and soil from some areas and deposits them in other areas creating new"
What is landforms?
After handling chemicals in the lab station, what should be done before touching your face or someone else?
What is clean your hands?
"All parts of and around the planet Earth where life can be found. It reaches way up into the sky where birds fly and deep down into the ocean trenches that microorganisms (tiny living things like bacteria) call home."
What is Biosphere?
Polar, temperate, arid, tropical, Mediterranean and tundra are all
What are climate regions?
"Distance of something above a reference point."
What is elevation?
Ocean currents help to regulate
What is global climate?
