100
An area where two tectonic plates slide past each other.
What is a transform boundary/fault?
100
This tool, consisting of three parts, helps determine the soil texture of a sample.
What is a soil triangle/chart?
100
Type of air that rises up into the atmosphere.
What is warm/hot air?
100
The primary cause of the Earth's seasons.
What is the Earth's tilt?
100
The layer where the ozone is located.
What is the Stratosphere?
200
The boundary at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
What is a divergent boundary?
200
A soil texture best suited to grow corn (a crop that grows best in well draining soil)
What is sandy soil/sandy loam?
200
The main driver of global wind patterns.
What is solar radiation/the sun?
200
This location is located somewhere near the equator.
What is location 1?
200
The label for the x-axis.
What is temperature?
300
This letter is where an earthquake is most likely to occur.
What is C?
300
The layer that has very little organic matter and accumulates soluble metals and nutrients that are transported from other soil layers.
What is C? (Subsoil)
300
In Peru, this event brings an upwelling of nutrient/oxygen rich water up to the coast. The weather is cold and dry during this event.
What is La Nina?
300
These moderate climates in coastal areas
What are oceans?
300
The layer where the northern lights are found.
What is the thermosphere?
400
The letter where there would be volcanic activity, island arcs, and mountains.
What is B?
400
This soil property is associated with soils that contain more clay-sized particles than sand-sized. This affects how much water can pass through.
What is low permeability?
400
The type of weather that would benefit farmers in the south western during an El Nino event.
What is warm and rainy/wet?
400
This solstice would cause the longest period of daylight in the northern hemisphere.
What is the June Solstice?
400
The most abundant gas in the Earth's atmosphere.
What is nitrogen?
500
Geologic event/feature that formed the Hawaiian islands
What is a hot spot?
500
This area (letter) is most susceptible to erosion, leading to increased suspended solids and increased turbidity downstream.
What is B?
500
The year when Peru would have experienced an El Nino event.
What is 1998?
500
This location receives the most intense solar radiation at the time of year shown in the diagram.
What is the Tropic of Capricorn?
500
The city that would receive less rain.
What is city B?
