(North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, Antarctica)

This is the breaking down, movement, and settlement of rock particles
What is weathering, erosion, and deposition?
This climate zone has milder winters and hot summers
What is the Mediterranean climate zone?
This is the gradual raising of temperature of Earth due to pollution, causing extreme hot/cold weather and natural disasters like hurricanes, flooding, etc.
What is climate change?
Describe the relationship between the equator and how hot a place is.
The closer to the equator, the hotter a place is because it receives more direct sunlight throughout the year.
This is the one large land mass that slowly moved apart due to continental drift.
What is Pangaea?
This type of rock is formed by the cementation and compaction of sediments, and can have many layers or contain fossils
What is sedimentary rocks?
This climate zone gets much colder to higher the altitude
