CRACKING Gyros
Gyro meat is traditionally cooked this way, allowing it to be sliced off in thin pieces.
What is on a vertical rotisserie?
These “volcanoes” erupt in space but do not involve molten rock.
What are "Cryovolcanoes"?
These volcanoes erupt because a moon is being squished and stretched like cosmic stress putty.
What are tidal-powered volcanoes?
This massive Martian volcano is the largest volcano and tallest planetary mountain in the solar system.
What is Olympus Mons?
Kashfi's FAVORITE gyro/meat over rice CART.
B&B (Best of the Best) / Habiba Halal
Instead of molten lava, cryovolcanoes erupt cold, volatile materials like this substance most associated with ice.
What is 'Water"?
This repeated stretching and squeezing by gravity generates the internal heat that powers tidal-driven volcanism.
What are "Tidal Forces" OR "Gravitational Forces"?
The size of scale-breaking volcanoes is controlled by this broad planetary factor rather than plate movement.
What are planetary mechanics?
Pronounce Gyro properly.
What is "Yee-ro" or "Yeh-ro"
Water, ammonia, and methane can all play this role in cryovolcanic eruptions.
What is "Cryolava" (lava in cryovolcanoes)?
In tidal-powered volcanism, this material melts due to internal heating and fuels the eruptions
What is rock (or molten rock / lava)?
Olympus Mons became so large because Mars has this gravity level and this tectonic condition.
What is low gravity and a lack of active plate tectonics?
Which Greek food/dish inspired the (Naan-) Wrapped Gyro?
What is the Döner kebab?
This icy moon of Saturn is famous for cryovolcanic plumes shooting material into space.
What is "Enceladus"?
This moon of Jupiter is the most extreme and well-known example of tidal-powered volcanism.
What is Io?
At about 27 km tall and 550 km wide, standing at the edge of this volcano’s caldera, the base would be beyond the horizon—and it even sticks out of this layer.
What is Mars's Atmosphere?
This creamy sauce, often made with yogurt, garlic, and cucumber, is commonly served on gyros.
What is tzatziki sauce?
Unlike Earth’s volcanoes that build mountains of rock, cryovolcanism most commonly creates these frozen surface features and towering jets of ice.
What are icy flows and plumes?
Who was the moon Io named after?
One of the mortal lovers of Zeus
OR
Priestess of Hera
The Latin name "Olympus Mons" is translated as what in modern English (think Greek myths lololooo)?
