Branches
Identify the Branch
The study of the universe
Astronomy
Which variable is changed intentionally in an experiment?
Independent
This sphere contains all the gases and on Earth is made mostly of nitrogen and oxygen
Atmosphere
Phosphorus does not include this sphere within its cycle
What is the atmosphere?
Identify the Branch
Study of Earth’s atmosphere
Meterology
This variable changes based on the intentionally changed variable.
Dependent Variable
Earth is mostly covered by this item
Salt water
Nitrogen Fixation
Identify the Branch
The study of Earth’s oceans
Oceanography
This type of data contains numbers through counting or measuring
Quantitative
An object's weight will change based on its location due to this
(Hint: closer to the center the heavier the object)
Gravity
Groundwater filters through the dirt towards the core, while this moves above Earth towards large bodies of water
Runoff
Identify the Branch
The study of the origin, history, and structure of Earth and the processes that shape Earth
Geology
This type of variable stay the same throughout the experiment and often there are many explicitly explained in the procedure.
Constant Variable
This sphere is the largest volume on Earth and contains the core, mantle, and crust
Geosphere
Two locations that take in carbon at the highest rate (carbon sinks)
Ocean and land plants
Identify the Branch
Study how humans interact with their environment
Environmental Science
This type of graph would be used for the following data. Each lap was 400 m
Lap 1: 1 min 29 sec
Lap 2: 3 min 2 sec
Lap 3: 4 min 45 sec
Lap 4: 7 min 8 sec
Line graph
When drilling from the surface down to the center of the Earth what is the order of the levels
Crust--> mantle--> core
Fossil fuels
