What are the three types of plate boundaries?
What is Transform: Plates are moving parallel Divergent: plates moving apart from each other Convergent: plates are moving towards each other
100
What is the ring of fire?
What is The ring of fire is a large area that surrounds the pacific ocean, where many natural disasters such as earthquakes take place, and the border of the ring is a converging plate boundary, which causes earthquakes, and other disasters.
100
What are the three landform regions in Canada?
What is Highlands, Lowlands, Canadian Shield
100
What do climate graphs show? (2 things)
What is They show year patterns of temperature and precipitation.
100

Which latitude belt is located between 231/2 N and 23 1/2 S?

What is the low latitude belts.

200
What is pangea?
What is When all the continents were together.
200
what are the impacts of the moving plates?
What is Cause earthquakes, volcanoes, and the formation and destruction of the crust.
200
What is the process of mountain breaking?
What is Weathering(water,wind,chemicals,living things), erosion(moving broken down rocks by rain,rivers,streams), deposition(depositing the broken down rock in a new location)
200
What is the difference between weather and climate ?
What is The difference is the measure of time: Weather is the day to day combination and climate is the more long term patterns of weather for a location
200

Name the latitude belt that is found at the poles?

High Latitude

300
What are the three types of natural disasters?
What is Earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis
300
What forces cause a plate to move
What is Convection currents, the heat causes motion beneath the earth's crust and occasionally this will cause the tectonic plates to shift
300
How is Metamorphic rock formed?
What is Heat and pressure from the earth change Igneous rock and sedimentary rock into metamorphic rocks
300
What are two differences between Continental Climate and Maritime Climate?
What is Continental climate has bigger temperature range and dryer air. Maritime climate is softer has smaller temperature range and a lot of moist.
300

Which physical features can be found at any of the latitude belts?

Deserts and Mountains

400
What convergent plate boundary surrounds the pacific ocean?
What is Ring of fire
400
Compare the similarities and differences between convergent and divergent zones and what do they cause?
What is Convergent- where two plates crash into each other causes earthquakes and volcanoes Divergent- where two plates move away from each other causes volcanoes
400
Name an example of a highland region in Canada
What is Innuitian Mountains, Appalachians, or Western Cordillera
400
How does climate change affect the vegetation?
What is The climate can really affect growth of plants. Extreme temperatures, a decrease in water availability and changes to soil conditions will actually make it more difficult for plants to thrive. It is easy for most plants to grow in warmer climates.
400

Which latitude belt do we live in?

Mid Latitude Belt

500
Give two examples of how volcanoes destroy land and life and give two examples on how volcanoes create land and life?
What is Destroy: land, plants, animals, human settlements Create: land, life, balance of creation and destruction
500
How do the plates contribute to the formation of the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia?
What is When the tectonic plates collide, the plates push upwards creating mountains such as the Rocky Mountain.
500
How did glacier change the landscape of Canada?
What is It changes the landscape by erosion and deposition. When the glacier exists, its weight presses the land down. When the glacier melts, it forms a lake. Later the land slowly bounce back to normal and the lake disappears.
500
What are the 6 factors that affect climate?
What is Latitude, Ocean currents, Winds(air masses), Elevation, Relief(mountains) and near water.
