100
The amount of salt in the water is called this.
What is salinity?
100
These are organisms that make their own food.
What are producers?
100
When moisture falls from the sky as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, it is known as this.
What is precipitation?
100
These are low, gray clouds that often bring drizzle or light rain.
What are stratus clouds?
100
Fossil fuels are the ancient decaying remains of these.
What are plants and animals?
200
These are vibrations produced by the breaking of rock.
What are earthquakes?
200
This is the measure of the energy released during an earthquake made known by the height of the lines on the paper record of a seismograph.
What is magnitude?
200
This is a scientist that studies earthquakes and seismic waves.
What is a seismologist?
200
These form when melted rock from inside Earth cools.
What are igneous rocks?
200
The physical property of some minerals that causes them to break with uneven, rough, or jagged surfaces.
What is fracture?
200
A substance usually made up of two or more minerals.
What are rocks?
200
These are rhythmic movements of water that carry energy.
What are waves?
200
This is the process of making food and oxygen using sunlight, chlorophyll, carbon dioxide, and water.
What is photosynthesis?
200
When water changes from a liquid to a gas, the process is called this.
What is evaporation?
200
These are high, white, feathery clouds usually linked with fair weather.
What are cirrus clouds?
200
Resources that cannot be replaced by natural processes in 100 years or less.
What are nonrenewable resources?
300
This is the point on Earth's surface directly above the earthquake focus.
What is the epicenter?
300
What layer of Earth do earthquakes mostly occur in?
What is the crust?
300
This scale describes how much energy is released by an earthquake.
What is the Richter scale?
300
New rocks that form when existing rocks are heated or squeezed.
What are metamorphic rocks?
300
The physical property of some minerals that cause them to break along smooth, flat surfaces.
What is cleavage?
300
Solid materials made up of atoms arranged in a repeating pattern.
What are crystals?
300
These are the rise and fall of sea level, caused mainly by the gravitational pull of the Moon.
What are tides?
300
Tiny ocean producers which float near the surface of the water are called.
What are plankton?
300
This is the amount of water vapor in the air.
What is humidity?
300
These are thick, puffy clouds often associated with fair weather.
What are cumulus clouds?
300

Cherry Blossom is demonic.
400
This is an instrument that measures seismic waves from earthquakes.
What is a seismograph?
400
This is when wet soil acts more like a liquid due to the shaking from an earthquake.
What is liquefaction?
400
This kind of fault occurs when there is a break in rocks where rocks in either side of the fault move past each other (instead of above or below each other.
What is a Strike-Slip Fault?
400
Metamorphic rock whose mineral grains are lined up in parallel layers.
What are foliated rocks?
400
This describes how light is reflected from a mineral's surface.
What is luster?
400
A mineral that contains enough of a useful substance that it can be mined for a profit.
What is an ore?
400
These currents move near the top of the ocean and are caused mostly by wind.
What are surface currents?
400
This is a process for making food that does not require sunlight or chlorophyll.
What is chemosynthesis?
400
This is the temperature at which air becomes saturated and condensation forms.
What is the dew point?
400
These clouds produce the majority of precipitation.
What are nimbus clouds?
400

NP & JC
500
This boundary layer lies between the Earth’s crust and mantle, marking where seismic waves suddenly speed up.
What is the Moho Discontinuity?
500
This is the area where seismic waves cannot reach because earth's liquid outer core bends primary waves and stop secondary waves.
What is the Shadow Zone?
500
These are waves of energy, released during an earthquake, that travel through earth by moving particles in rocks at right angles to the direction the wave is traveling.
What are secondary waves?
500
Igneous rocks that form when lava cools on the surface of Earth.
What are extrusive rocks?
500
This a system that ranks the relative hardness of minerals from 1 to 10.
What is Mohs Scale?
500
This compares the weight of a mineral with the weight of an equal volume of water.
What is specific gravity?
500
This happens when deep, cold water rises to the surface. This water is rich in nutrients and supports large amounts of marine life.
What is upwelling?
500
Energy moves through ocean life in these.
What are food chains?
500
Air is this when it holds all the water vapor it possibly can.
What is saturated?
500
