Tectonic Plates
Volcanoes/ Rocks
Biomes/ Environments
100
This number shows about how long it takes for Earth to orbit the sun.
What is about 365 days?
100
These travel through earthquakes, but in different directions from the earthquake.
What are seismic waves?
100
Tectonic plates are made of this, apart of the physical structure of Earth.
What is the lithosphere?
100
These things are released from volcanoes.
What are magma and gases?
100
This geographic feature is located in the marine/aquatic biomes where different types of water mix.
What is an estuary?
200
This is the compositional layer of the Earth that is made up of silicon, oxygen, and magnesium. (Remember it is in the middle, not the center)
What is the mantle?
200
This describes the amount of damage caused by an earthquake.
What is intensity?
200
This is a theory that explains how large pieces of Earth's outermost layer, called tectonic plates, move and change shapes.
What is plate tectonics?
200
This is magma that flows onto Earth's surface.
What is lava?
200
This is like a biome, but is in general a community of organisms and their abiotic (nonliving) environment
What is an ecosystem?
300
This is the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves.
What is radiation?
300
This is a measure of the strength of an earthquake.
What is magnitude?
300
This is the bending of rock layers due to stress.
What is folding?
300
This describes magma or igneous rock that is rich in magnesium and iron and generally dark in color.
What is mafic?
300
This studies the interactions of living organisms with one another.
What is ecology?
400
This is the movement of matter due to density and the transfer of energy due to the movement of matter.
What is convection?
400
This is the point on Earth's surfaces directly above an earthquake's starting point, or focus.
What is the epicenter?
400
This is a break in a body of rock along which one block slides relative to another.
What is fault?
400
This is the series of processes in which rock forms, changes from one type to another, is destroyed, and forms again by geologic processes.
What is the rock cycle?
400
This is the largest population that an environment can support at any give time.
What is carrying capacity?
