100

Name the layers of the earth in order from outermost to innermost.

Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, and Inner  Core

100

Tectonic plates are large pieces of what material

Large pieces of lithosphere (Rock)

100

True or False


The moon rotates and revolves at the same speed so we only see the same side of the moon at all times


100

What causes night and day?

Earth's rotation 

100

What subsystem of Earth are rocks a part of?

Geosphere

200

The two types of crust 

Continental and Oceanic

200

What type of event will occur if plates shift at a transform boundary?

Earthquake!

200

What is the reason for us having seasons?

tilt of earth and its position during Earth's revolution

200

The Earth takes how long (exactly) to make one full revolution around the sun?

365.25 days

200

Where does Monticello wastewater go once it is treated?

Into the Mississippi River.

300
The driving force, found in the Mantle, that causes tectonic plates to collide, divide, or slide against each other.

Convection Currents

300

What occurs when continental crusts collide with each other at a convergent boundary?

Mountains form

300
What are the names of the five dwarf planets in our solar system?

Ceres, Eris, Pluto, Makemake, Haumea

300

What are the two things that make a rock?

300

Describe mitigation, and give an example of how to mitigate the effects of a natural hazard.

Mitigation: preventing or reducing property damage or loss of life caused by a natural disaster.

Examples will vary

400

Which of the 4 layers of the earth is the only true liquid layer?

Outer Core

400

What is subduction and why does it occur?

When a more dense plate goes under the less dense plate. 

400

What moon phase is this?


Waning Gibbous

400

Order the layers/events from oldest to youngest.

D, B, F, A, C, E, G

400

Where does Monticello get water from?

Underground wells
500

Why is the Inner Core solid instead of being a gas, or a super heated liquid?

All the pressure it is exposed to causes the molecules to be pushed together making it a solid and increasing its density.

500

What formation will result when a oceanic plate subducts underneath a continental plate?

Volcano, or volcanic mountain
500

Name the planets in order from farthest from the sun to the closest to the sun

Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Earth, Venus, Mercury 

500

Give two descriptions on what the weather is like in this area.

1. Moderately windy where the isobars are close together.

2. Sunny skies where there is high pressure.

3. Cool, fair weather where the cold front just passed through.

500

What is being shown going across the globe, and what effect causes these to form?


Global wind belts, and the Coriolis effect causes them to form.
