Earth's Plate Tectonics
Water on Earth
Landforms
Forces
100
Earth's trip around the sun.
What is revolution
100
The theory that Earth's surface is divided into a dozen or so slow-moving plates or pieces of Earth's crust.
What is plate tectonics
100
Covers 97% of Earth's water.
What is salt water
100
Shapes on the planet's surface.
What are landforms
100
The process by which rock is broken down into smaller pieces.
What is weathering
200
A complete spin of Earth on it's axis.
What is rotation
200
The three types of plate collisions.
What are ocean plates, ocean trenches, and continental plates.
200
Water locked in Earth's glaciers, large areas of slow-moving ice, and in the ice of the Antarctic and Arctic regions.
What is fresh water
200
Land that rises higher than 2,000 feet.
What are mountains
200
The movement of sediment from one location to another.
What is erosion
300
Earth's position and movements affect the amount of energy we receive from the sun and determine our seasons.
What is the reason seasons change
300
The name given by Alfred Wegener to the original "super continent"
What is Pangaea
300
Water that is found in Earth's streams, rivers, and lakes.
What is surface water
300
Areas of low lands located between mountains or hills.
What are valleys
300
Moving sediment from one place to another, creating new landforms
What is how water affects sediment
400
The result of the North Pole's tilt toward the sun.
What is summer's warm temperatures
400
The two examples of landforms produced by the collision of tectonic plates.
What are ocean trenches and mountain ranges.
400
Water that falls to Earth's surface as rain, sleet, or hail.
What is Precipitation
400
Land surrounded by water on three sides
What is a peninsula
400
People settle in certain areas because of landforms. Landforms also affect what kinds of jobs are available in an area.
What is how landforms affect life on Earth.
500
Rotation affects how much solar energy which in turn creates day and night and affects temperatures.
What is rotation and tilt affect the amount of solar energy to different parts of the Earth.
500
the cause of mid-ocean ridges (underwater mountains) and volcanic islands
What is separating
500
Condensation, Precipitation, Evaporation, Transpiration, Runoff
What is the Water Cycle
500
The causes that build up landforms above and below the surface.
What are forces
500
Both form landforms-colliding form ocean trenches, mountains; separating-from ocean ridges, volcanic islands.
What are the effects of colliding plates and separating plates similar and different.
