What causes tectonic plates to move?
What are convection currents?
100
State of matter where molecules move very slowly and generally have the highest density.
What is a solid?
100
What type of lines are used to elevation?
What is contour lines?
100
A force that acts on an object without coming into contact with another object.
What is a non-contact force?
100
What is the geocentric model of the solar system?
200
When all the continents were put togther as one.
What is Pangaea?
200
Mass, volume, color, shape are example of characteristic or non-characteristic properties?
What are non-characteristic properties?
200
A landform made by the erosion and deposition of sand by wind. Grasses help hold the sand in place once deposited.
What is a dune?
200
A non-contact force involving the exchange of charged particles of atoms.
What is an electric force?
200
What is a solar eclipse?
300
The recycling of old land when plates come together.
What is subduction?
300
What two measurements do you need in order to calculate density?
What are mass and volume? D= m/V
300
A landform made by the deposition of sediment at the mouth of a river: often triangular in shape.
What is a delta?
300
Two factors that affect the strength of gravity.
What is mass and distance?
300
The season when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun.
What is summer?
400
When new land is formed as plate boundaries.
What is seafloor spreading (divergent)?
400
The pH scale helps us know if a substance is an acid or a base. What is number 4 on the scale?
What is an acid?
400
A depression in the ground made from the chemical weathering and erosion of permeable rock, such as limestone.
What is a sinkhole?
400
What is thought to cause Earth's magnetic field?
What is the inner core spinning around the outer core?
400
The tide that has the greatest tidal range.
What is spring tide?
500
Label the plate boundaries.
What is divergent, convergent, and transform?
500
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum (EM) has the greatest energy and shortest wavelength?
What is gamma?
500
When water carries sediment to a new location; this process is slowed down or prevented by plant roots.
What is erosion?
500
What is the net force?
What is 700 N?
500
Three ways gravity affects objects in space.
What is orbits (inertia and gravity), making objects spherical, and acceleration?
