these three pieces of evidence support ____________; coastline, fossils, and rocks and mountains
What is continental drift
100
what we use to measure earthquakes
What is the richter magnitude scale and the modified mercalli scale
100
These rocks are formed from molten material that cools and crystallizes either underground or on Earth's surface
What is an igneous rock
100
a rock that has lots of holes
What is a porous rock
100
In this lab we used water, sand, a candle, and a burner
What is the volcano in a cup lab
200
these pieces of evidence support___________; mid ocean ridges and the age of rocks on the seafloor. The further away the older it is.
What is seafloor spreading (hypothesis)
200
this earth layer is denser and hotter than most and it is solid and has a high pressure
What is the inner core
200
This type of rock forms when it is weathered and clasts are cemented together by the pore space
What is a sedimentary rock
200
this is a term used to describe the movement of any material down a slope or land slide (massive erosion)
What is mass wasting
200
In this lab we looked at different types of rocks and had to tell if it was an igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rock
What is the virtual rock lab
300
The three types of plate boundaries and a picture.
What is divergent <-- --> convergent --> <-- and transform ^ l
l v
300
This layer of the earth has the densest material in the center, and it is still hot but not as hot or as dense as a different layer (it is a liquid)
What is the outer core
300
This rock is formed when it has been changed by heat, pressure, and chemical reactions
What is a metamorphic rock
300
This is all the water that is naturally stored underground
What is groundwater
300
In this lab we measured different types of soil and had to determine the porosity of the soil.
What is the soil type virtual lab
400
thermal energy, slab pully, ridge push and friction
What is plate motion causes
400
rocks and ash, sulfuric and carbon dioxide, and pyroclastic materials
What are the different types of materials that come from volcano eruptions
400
They can form from hot water, cooling molten rock and from water evaporation
What is a way minerals form
400
relative and absolute dating
What are two things used to infer earth's geologic past
400
In this lab we were figuring out the difference between relative and absolute dating, half life, and the geological time scale
What is the time scale challenge
500
A sudden movement or vibration of the ground that occurs when rocks slip and slide along enormous cracks in Earth's crust called faults
What is an earthquake
500
cinder cone, shield, and composite
What are the three types of volcanoes
500
Draw the rock cycle on a piece of paper
What is the rock cycle
500
This is the time it takes for one half of a radioactive parent isotope to decay to its stable daughter isotope
What is half-life
500
Try this metric conversion example;
30 ft/min --> cm/hr
Also try this one;
If a plate has moved 2500 km away from another plate over 20,000,000 years, at what rate was the plate moving in cm/yr
