a hurricane is a storm that has high winds and rain
(I got this from the hurricane packet)
earth
earth is the 3rd planet from the sun and is the planet we live on
(planet notes )
convection
motion in a gas or liquid in which the warmer portions rise and the colder portions sink.
(heat and energy packet)
how is magma formed
Magma forms when pressures and temperatures get high enough to melt rock
(volcano and plate tectonics packet)
the crust
this is the layer of earth we live on
(layers of earth notes )
Tornado
it's a spinning storm that destroys everything in its path.
(I got this from the tornado packet)
the sun
the sun is our star and our planets orbit the sun
(Solar system packet )
conduction
when heat is directly transmitted through objects
(Heat and energy copy of notes )
Vesuvius (79 AD) - Italy
Large explosion... buried the city of Pompeii. The African plate is subducting beneath the Eurasian plate.
(volcano and plate tectonics packet)
mantle
the mantle is under the crust and its temps range from 1600 degrees to 6700 degrees
(layers of earth notes)
blizzard
a blizzard is a very big snowstorm that can cover a town in snow
(blizzerd packet )
Jupiter
is the biggest planet in our solar system
(Solar system packet)
radiation
radiation is heat when it is in waves like the heat from the sun
(Heat and energy copy of notes )
Krakatua (1883) - Indonesia.
Over 1⁄2 of the island blew up in a single blast.
The sound could be heard over 3000 miles away! It is said to be the loudest sound ever heard on earth.
(volcano and plate tectonics packet)
outer core
this layer is mostly liquid and the temperature is about 7800 degrees
(Layers of earth notes)
rain
Within a cloud, water droplets condense onto one another, causing the droplets to grow. When these water droplets get too heavy to stay suspended in the cloud, they fall to Earth as rain.
(i got this from the flood packet)
Saturn
Saturn is 9.5 astronomical units away from the sun
(Saturn reading packet )
example of radiation
standing outside in the sun

Kilauea (1997) - The main island of Hawaii.
It has erupted every year since 1952.
Many homes are threatened every year by large flows of lava.
(volcano and plate tectonics packet)
inner core
the inner core is the center of the earth and it is about the hottest layer about 13000 degrees
(layers of earth notes)
hail
hail is kind of like rain but it is ice the ice balls can be the size of golf balls
(I found it from Google)
Uranus
Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun and it is a gas giant
(Uranus reading packet)
how is conviction formed?
conviction can be formed like if you boil water
(convection notes)
Eldfell (1973) - a small island off Iceland.
Lava and tephra erupted from a fissure for 5 months.
The fishing port was threatened, so seawater was pumped into the flow to stop it.
(volcano and plate tectonics packet)
how much of the earth is covered in water
Earth is about 71 percent of the earth's surface is covered in water
