PLATE TECTONICS
WEGNER THOUGHT THAT ALL THE CONTINENTS WERE ONCE JOINED TOGTHER IN A SUPERCONTINENT CALLED _______
WHAT WAS PANGEA?
THIS FORCE SQUEEZES EARTH’S CRUST, MAKING IT SHORTER AND THICKER.
WHAT IS COMPRESSION?
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAGMA AND LAVA?
MAGMA IS MELTED ROCK UNDERGROUND; LAVA IS MELTED ROCK ON EARTH’S SURFACE.
THIS IS WHERE %97 OF EARTHS WATER IS FOUND.
WHAT IS THE OCEANS?
THE 5 STEPS OF THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
WHAT IS
1.ASK A QUESTION
2.FORM A HYPOTHESIS
3.TEST WITH AN EXPIERMENT
4.ANYLYZE DATA/RESULTS
5.DRAW A CONCLUSION
DEFINE A DIVERGANT BOUNDRY
a plate boundary where two plates move away from each other
THE FASTEST SEISMIC WAVE THAT ARRIVES FIRST AT A SEISMOGRAPH IS THIS TYPE OF WAVE.
WHAT IS A P WAVE?
NAME THE THREE STAGES OF A VOLCANO.
ACTIVE, DORMANT, EXTINCT.
THIS PROCESS CHANGES LIQUID WATER INTO WATER VAPOR.
WHAT IS EVAPORATION?
THE REASON THAT SCIENTISTS REPEAT EXPERMINTS MULTIPLE TIMES
WHAT IS TO MAKE SURE THE RESULTS ARE ACCURABLE,REALIBLE AND NOT CAUSE BY MISTAKES OR CHANCE
WHAT ARE THE 3 TYPES OF PLATE BOUNDRY
TRANSFORM,CONVERGANT AND DIVERGANT
THIS TYPE OF FAULT OCCURS WHEN ROCKS SLIDE PAST EACH OTHER WITH LITTLE UP-AND-DOWN MOTION.
WHAT IS A STRIKE-SLIP FAULT?
WHAT IS THE RING OF FIRE, AND WHAT OCEAN DOES IT SURROUND?
A VOLCANIC BELT WITH MANY VOLCANOES THAT SURROUNDS THE PACIFIC OCEAN.
A SMALLER STREAM OR A RIVER THAT FLOWS INTO A LARGER RIVER.
WHAT IS A TRIBUTARY?
A SCIENTIST CHANGES THE AMOUNT OF WATER A PLANT RECIVES TO SEE HOW IT AFFCTS THE GROWTH.
NAME THE INDEPENDENT AND DEPENDENT VARIABLE.
WHAT IS
INDEPENDENT=AMOUNT OF WATER
DEPENDENT VARIABLE=PLANT GROWTH
WHAT HAPPENS IN SUBDUCTION
a) crust rises
b) crust sinks
c) earthquakes happen
d)tsunamis occur
what is b) crust sinks
THE POINT INSIDE EARTH WHERE AN EARTHQUAKE BEGINS IS CALLED THIS.
WHAT IS THE FOCUS?
COMPARE A SHIELD VOLCANO AND A COMPOSITE VOLCANO.
SHIELD VOLCANOES ARE WIDE WITH GENTLE SLOPES AND QUIET ERUPTIONS; COMPOSITE VOLCANOES ARE TALL, STEEP, AND EXPLOSIVE.
A UNDERGROUND LAYER OF ROCK AND SOIL THAT STORES GROUNDWATER?
WHAT IS AN AQUIFER?
THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING CONTROLLED VARIABLES(CONSTANTS) THE SAME DURING A EXPERIMENT
WHAT IS SO THE EXPIERMENT IS FAIR AND ONLY THE TESTED VARIABLE AFFECTS THE RESULT?
MID OCEAN RIDGES FORM LONG CHAINS OF MOUNTAIN THAT RISE UP FROM THE OCEAN FLOOR.
TRUE OR FALSE?
TRUE
GEOLOGISTS USE THE DIFFERENCE IN ARRIVAL TIMES OF P WAVES AND S WAVES TO LOCATE THIS POINT ON EARTH’S SURFACE.
WHAT IS THE EPICENTER?
EXPLAIN HOW SILICA AND GAS CONTENT AFFECT VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS.
HIGH SILICA MAKES MAGMA THICKER, TRAPPING GASES. MORE TRAPPED GAS LEADS TO MORE EXPLOSIVE ERUPTIONS.
THE BOUNDRY THAT SEPERATES 2 WATERSHEDS
WHAT IS A DIVIDE?
A STUDENT CALCULATES THE AMOUNT OF FERTILIZER CAUSED PLANTS TO GROW TALLER BUT THE PLANTS WERE KEPT IN DIFFRENT AMOUNTS OF SUNLIGHT. EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM WITH THIS CONCLUSION.
WHAT IS THE EXPERIMENT HAD A UNCONTROLLED VARIABLE (SUNLIGHT) SO THE RESULTS MAY HAVE NOT BEEN ONLY CAUSED BY THE FERTILIZER.
