Scientific Method
Law vs Theory
Earth's Layers
Seasons
100
This is the study of the Earth's Oceans
What is Oceanography?
100
This is an "educated guess" or a possible explanation to a problem
What is a hypothesis
100
This is a conclusion considered true based on proof
What is a scientific law?
100
This is the thin, cool, hard layer which surrounds the outside of the earth
What is the crust?
100
These are the seasons on the Earth
What are Summer, Fall (Autumn), Winter, and Spring?
200
This is the study of the Solid Earth
What is Geology?
200
This is the mean (average), median, and mode for the data set: 1, 1, 2, 5, 6
What is 3 - Mean 2 - Median 1 - Mode
200
This is a conclusion considered true based on repeated observation, but no concrete proof
What is a theory?
200
This is the center layer of the earth which although extremely hot is solid iron due to extreme pressure
What is the inner core
200
These are the two dates in which all the Earth experiences 12 hours of sunlight and 12 hours of darkness
What are the autumnal and vernal equinoxes?
300
This is the study of the universe beyond the Earth
What is Astronomy?
300
This is the term used for an estimate based on repeated observations
What is inference?
300
This theory states that the Universe originated as one atom-size particle that exploded outward
What is the Big Bang Theory?
300
This is the layer consisting of hot, molten iron which surrounds the inner core
What is the Outer Core?
300
This is the degree tilt of the Earth's axis
What is 23 degrees?
400
This is the study of the Earth's atmosphere and weather
What is meteorology?
400
This is the term used for the amount of difference between two sets of data
What is variance?
400
This law states that all galaxies in the Universe are moving away from one another
What is Hubble Law?
400
This thick layer undernearth the crust is a semi-solid, semi-liquid layer which allows the crust to move above.
What is the mantle?
400
This is the date in which the suns direct rays strike farthest south on the Earth
What is the Winter Solstice?
500
These are the three realms or "spheres" of the earth. (solid, liquid, gas)
What is the geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere?
500
These are the five steps of the scientific method
What are state the problem, gather information, form a hypothesis, test the hypothesis, and draw a conclusion
500
This is the term for a shift in the wavelength of light when an object is moving farther away
What is redshift?
500
These are the two seperate layers or "spheres" that make up the mantle
What are the lithosphere and the asthenosphere?
500
These are the dates of the Summer Solstice, Autumnal Equinox, Winter Solstice, and Vernal Equinox
What are June 21-22, September 22-23, December 21-22, March 21-22?
