A Plate of Oreos
This type of plate boundary causes massive earthquakes.
What is a transform plate boundary?
Weather occurs is this atmospheric layer.
What is the troposphere?
This greenhouse gas is released from the burning of fossil fuels.
What is carbon dioxide?
This effect causes air and ocean currents to deflect from a straight line.
What is the Coriolis effect?
This phenomenon occurs when trade winds weaken and warm water builds up around the Americas.
At a convergent boundary, this occurs when the move dense oceanic plate moves under the less dense continental plate.
What is subduction?
Meteors burn up in this layer.
What is the mesosphere?
This is the amount of reflection of solar radiation from Earth's surface.
What is albedo?
These convection cells occurs at the Equator.
What are Hadley Cells?
During this oscillation event, we can experience drought in North America.
What is La Nina?
What is a divergent plate boundary?
Ozone builds up in this atmospheric layer.
What is the stratosphere?
This greenhouse gas is also called natural gas and is composed of one carbon atom and for hydrogen atoms.
What is methane?
What is insolation?
This plate boundary between two land plates causes mountains to uplift.
What is a convergent plate boundary?
This layer blocks harmful X-ray radiation from reaching Earth.
What is the thermosphere?
This greenhouse gas moves quickly through the atmosphere and is only in the atmosphere for about two weeks before leaving as liquid.
What is water vapor?
This phenomenon explains why Las Vegas is a desert.
What is the rain shadow effect?
This oscillation causes extreme drought in Australia.
What is El Nino?
What is the Pacific Ocean?
78% of the atmosphere is composed of this gas.
What is nitrogen?
Without the greenhouse effect, the average temperature on Earth would be far too this.
What is cold?
This is the tilt of the Earth.
What is 23.5 degrees?
