These rocks are formed when magma cools and then hardens very quickly
What are igneous rocks

These are the three different types of volcanoes.... you need to explain each one!!! Extra point for each one that you explain!
What are active, dormant, and extinct

What causes earthquakes?
What are plate tectonics....which also can cause volcanoes!

There are this many different ways that erosion can occur
You get one extra point for each one that you name!
What is 5

Explain to me the difference between comparing items and contrasting items
What is to compare something is to show how they have similarities, to contrast something is to show how they have differences

These rocks are formed when particles of sand, shells, pebbles, and other sediments are hardened into rock over a long period of time
What are sedimentary rocks
300
When magma from within the Earth's upper mantle works its way to the surface, it erupts to form lava flows and ash deposits.
What is how a volcano is formed?
300
This is how Earthquakes are measured
What is the Richter Scale
300
This occurs when wind blows away the top layer of soil or sand
What is wind erosion

These are the six steps of the Scientific Method.....
1) Ask a Question
2) Make a Hypothesis
3) Do the Experiment
4) Collect the Data
5) Analyze the Data
6) Conclusion

These rocks are formed under the surface of the earth from the metamorphosis or change that occurs due to the heat and pressure
What are metamorphic rocks
400
The earth's crust and upper mantle to be composed of several large, thin, relatively rigid plates that move relative to one another. The plates are all moving in different directions and at different speeds. Sometimes the plates crash together, pull apart or sideswipe each other.... These are commonly referred to as?
What are plate tectonics
400
An area of stress in the earth where broken rocks slide past each other, causing a crack in the Earth's surface.
What is a fault

This famous occurrence in history lasted for more than 10 years and caused farmers to lose their crops and people to lose their homes
What is the Dust Bowl

This type of observation is made by looking at the qualities of something like the color, taste or sound
What is qualitative observation

You will always find this material in a rock, however, you will never find a rock in this material
What is a mineral

This is an area of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions encircling the basin of the Pacific Ocean. The Ring of Fire has 452 volcanoes and is home to over 50% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes. Ninety
What is the Ring of Fire
500
The instrument that is used to measure the intensity of an Earthquake
What is a seismograph
500
This occurs when the ice erodes the land surface and carries broken rocks and soil debris far from the original places
What is glacial erosion
500
This type of observation can be expressed in numbers and can be counted or measured, for example: amounts, temperature, mass, or length
