Which layer of the Earth is responsible for the Earth's magnetic field?
Outer core
These are the molten rocks found underground.
Magma
What are the two (2) seasons in the Philippines?
Rainy (wet) and dry
TRUE OR FALSE: The ozone layer is found in the troposphere.
False
TRUE OR FALSE: Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air.
True
A _______ plate boundary is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide.
Convergent
It is the most seismically and volcanically active zone in the world.
Pacific Ring of Fire / Ring of Fire
What are the 5 layers of the Earth’s atmosphere? (in order)
Troposphere
Stratosphere
Mesosphere
Thermosphere
Exosphere
It is the day-to-day state of the atmosphere.
Weather
A _______ plate boundary occurs when two tectonic plates slide past each other.
Transform
It is the branch of science that focuses on the study of the Earth.
It is an opening in the Earth’s crust that allows molten rock, gases, and debris to escape to the surface.
Volcano
It is the study of the atmosphere.
Meteorology
A _______ plate boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other.
Divergent
Gives at least two (2) functions of the Earth’s atmosphere.
The atmosphere protects life on Earth by shielding it from incoming ultraviolet (UV) radiation, keeping the planet warm through insulation, and preventing extremes between day and night temperatures. The sun heats layers of the atmosphere, causing it to convect, driving air movement and weather patterns worldwide.
It is a weak to violent ground shaking produced by the sudden movement of plate boundaries.
Earthquake
It is a scale that measures the physical damage done by an earthquake.
Mercalli scale
It is a scientist who studies and predicts Earth's atmospheric phenomena.
Meteorologist
It is the Philippine national institution dedicated to providing information on the activities of volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis.
