100
This is what causes day and night
What is Earth's rotation
100
This is the force that makes winds and currents curve
What is Coriolis effect?
100
What object's shadow do we see during a lunar eclipse?
What is Earth's shadow on the moon?
100
True or false... Winds move from higher pressure to lower pressure
What is true?
100
True or False: There is gravity on the international space station
What is True: but so weak we cannot see it's effects on objects
200
This is Earth's movement around the sun that takes one year or about 365.242 days
What is revolution?
200
This is the law of Universal gravitation
What is every object in the universe is attracted to another object with gravity
200
How many days does it take for the moon to go from the New Moon phase to the Full Moon phase?
What is about 15 days?
200
This is the type of heat transfer by which the troposphere is mostly heated
What is convection
200
True or False: Gravity alone keeps the moon in orbit
What is False?
300
This is the date of the vernal equinox
What is March 21st
300
This force is described as an object's tendency to resist a change in motion
What is inertia?
300
This is how long the moon takes to go through 1 full cycle of phases
What is about 29.5 days (or 28-31 days)
300
Which direction do prevailing westerlies (AKA the Jet stream) blow across the U.S.?
What is from west to east
300
How do currents affect climate of nearby land?
What is warm currents make the climate of nearby lands warm, while cold currents make the climate of nearby lands cooler.
400
This is why days are cooler in the winter when the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun.
What is the sun's rays are less direct (indirect) and shorter hours of daylight.
400
What 2 factors affect the strength of the force of gravity?
What is mass and distance
400
This is why the moon seems to change its shape throughout the month
What is we see the lit side of the moon from different positions.
400
This is how layers of the atmosphere are classified, by changes in: A. Altitude B. temperature C. air pressure D. Volume
What is B. Temperature
400
This is what causes local winds
What is unequal heating of Earth's surface over short distances?
500
This is the complete explanation for the reason we have seasons
What is the Earth is tilted as it revolves around the sun causing one hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight, warmer temperatures and longer days, while the opposite hemisphere gets indirect sunlight, cooler temperatures and shorter days.
500
These are the 2 factors that keep the moon in orbit around the Earth and planets in orbit around the sun.
What are gravity and inertia?
500
This is what causes a lunar eclipse
What is when the Earth blocks sunlight from the moon/Earth's shadow falls on the moon.
500
As you increase in altitude, air pressure and density will ___________
What is decrease?
