Carbon Cycle
Renewable Vs. Non Renewable Energy
Layers of the Earth
Fossils and Correlations
Relative Dating
100
Release of CO2 through breathing by plants animals and bacteria.
What is Respiration
100
Resources that can be replaced in a short amount of time.
What is Renewable Energy
100
The thick middle layer in the solid part of Earth.
What is Mantle
100
an impression, cast, original material or evidence of any animal or plant preserved in a sedimentary rock.
What is a Fossil
100
layers must be horizontal when originally deposited.
What is the Horizontality Rule
200
Decay of plants and animals, also uses oxygen and releases CO2.
What is Decomposition
200
Resources that are used faster than they can be replaced.
What is Non Renewable Energy
200
Hot liquid layer, with a lot of pressure and high density.
What is Outer Core
200
Fossil of actual parts of organism, unaltered or altered.
What is a Body Fossil
200
In an undisturbed sequence of rocks, the bottom layer is oldest and the top is youngest.
What is Superposition
300
The burning of Fossil Fuels
What is Combustion
300
Examples of __________ are Uranium, Coal, and Oil
What are Non Renewable Resources
300
The more dense, less thick crust. made from basalt.
What is Oceanic Crust
300
Fossilized evidence that the living thing existed.
What is a Trace Fossil
300
features like faults & intrusions (magma) must be younger than the rocks they cut into.
What is Crosscutting
400
The movement of atoms from higher to lower concentrations, allows CO2 to be released into the atmosphere.
What is Diffusion
400
Examples of _________ are Water, Biomass, and Wind
What is Renewable Resources
400
The plastic liquid layer within the Mantle.
What is Asthenosphere
400
easy to recognize, wide spread, existed for a brief time period, abundant.
What is a Index Fossil
400
A gap between two layers of sedimentary rock due to erosion of lower layers
What is a Disconformity
500
Carbon is taken away from the atmosphere from the absorption of solar energy by plants.
What is Photosynthesis
500
Formation of fossil fuels
What is Type of Organic Matter, Temperature and pressure, and Length of time buried
500
The rigid layer located at the crust and uppermost mantle.
What is Lithosphere
500
Body Structure & Enviorment
What makes a fossil likely to form
500
gap between lower layers that have been tilted and the new horizontal on top.
