Spheres
My oceans account for 97% of the water on the Earth.
What is the hydrosphere?
I am the type of map that best shows the three dimensional Earth in two dimensions.
What is a topographic map?
I am the lines on a map grid that run east and west.
What is latitude?
I am the what the testing phase of the scientific method is called.
What is the experiment?
Any size group of interacting parts that form a complex whole.
What is a system?
The core, mantle and crust of the earth are studied as part of my sphere.
What is the geosphere?
I am the lines on a topographic map.
What are contour lines?
I am the lines that run north and south on a map grid.
What is longitude?
I am what is collected during the experiment phase of the scientific method.
What is data?
I am the type of force that causes weathering and erosion.
What is a destructive force?
All living things make up my sphere.
What is the biosphere?
The difference in elevation between adjacent lines.
What is contour interval?
I am the longitude line that divides the earth into a left and right hemisphere.
What is the prime meridian?
I am someone's subjective view or position on a subject.
What is an opinion?
Unequal heat distribution drives the currently accepted explanation for the movement of drifting continents.
What is plate tectonics?
I am the Earth's outermost sphere.
What is the atmosphere?
I am what is indicated by contour lines being closer together on a topographic map.
What is a steeper slope?
What is the equator?
I am scientifically useful because I can be repeatedly tested.
What is a hypothesis?
This caused the Earth to develop layers as it cooled.
What is differences in density?
Describe in some detail an interaction between the geosphere and the biosphere.
Representing the globe as a map creates these problems.
What is distortion of shape, size, distance, and direction?
Using this map, the Y location coordinates are what degrees of latitude and longitude.
What is 600S latitude, 300W longitude?
A well-established, highly reliable explanation of a natural or physical phenomenon that results from multiple experimental tests
What is a theory?
The most widely accepted model for the formation of the solar system where a rotating cloud of hydrogen and helium cooled into our planets
