Chapter 1 & 2
What is the Full Moon?
This is the positively charged part of the atom.
What is a proton?
This is the description of tremendous amounts of force on earth's rocks (or what a student might feel before finals week).
What is stress?
This is the actual location of an earthquake.
What is the focus?
This is the 'just right' area in an orbit for planets to be habitable.
What is the Goldilocks Zone?
The name of our galaxy.
What is the Milky Way?
This type of bond involves sharing electrons.
What is a covalent bond?
The type of fuel/energy most of the world's energy comes from.
What is fossil fuel? (also acceptable, non-renewable or petroleum)
The name for materials ejected from a volcano.
What is pyroclastic?
When roots break up a sidewalk.
What is mechanical weathering (also OK biological weathering)
These would appear on a map, showing specific increases in elevation.
What is a contour line?
An idea that is well tested, supported by scientific results, and broad in scope.
What is a theory?
The result of crystallization of magma.
What is igneous rock?
What is a seismometer?
The electrons found in the outermost orbital shell of an atom.
What are valence electrons?
This is where the most distortion occurs on a Mercator projection (the typical map projection)
What is the poles (north and south pole)?
The responsible use and protection of the natural environment through sustainable practices and conservation efforts.
What is stewardship?
What are compaction and cementation?
The difference between a shield volcano and a cinder cone.
Answers vary (formed by lava; formed by pyroclastic material OR flatter larger for shield, etc.)
The method used to get a visual image of terrain on Google Earth or Google Maps.
What is remote sensing?
This phase of the moon occurs after the first quarter.
What is the waxing gibbous?
Answers vary (What is H2O, O2, CO2, etc.)
Give an example of evidence that demonstrates/supports the theory of plate tectonics
This explains why two different rock types erode at different rates
What is differential weathering?
*Draw a map of the rock cycle. You need 5 'places/endpoints' and at least 1 labeled arrow leading to each. (you wouldn't need every arrow from the textbook)
Requires Magma, Metamorphic rock, Igneous rock, Sedimentary rock, Sediment
