This is when two air masses meet.
What is a front?
The main gas that makes up the "blanket" that traps heat from the sun.
What is Carbon Dioxide?
1. What are convection currents?
2. What causes convection
currents?
1. Convection currents are big
circles of moving gasses or
liquids
2. Convection currents happen
when hot gasses or liquids rise
and cool gasses or liquids sink
What is a solar eclipse?
What is the crust?
This is when heat is transferred between liquids/gasses.
What is convection?
Doing this action releases Carbon Dioxide.
What is burning fossil fuels?
What is the role of convection
currents in the Earth’s mantle?
Convection currents cause:
● hot magma to rise
● then cool and sink
● making Earth’s tectonic
plates move and create
mountains, earthquakes,etc.
This is the level of the food chain that makes all of its own food.
What are producers?
The two solid layers of the Earth
The Crust and the inner core
This is when rocks pile up.
What is deposition?
At least two effects of global warming and climate change.
What is Sea level rise, Extreme weather, and mass extinctions
Explain how the following
processes change the
landscape of the Earth:
● weathering
● erosion
● deposition
● Weathering breaks
down rocks.
● Erosion moves pieces of rock away.
● Deposition is when rocks pile up.
The layer made of liquid magma (it's liquid so convection happens here)
What is the mantle?
This is a kind of resource which takes millions of years to form and runs out.
What is non-renewable?
This is what the carbon dioxide "blanket" does with heat from the sun.
Fossil fuels and mineral ores are
considered non-renewable resources.
What does non-renewable mean?
Non-renewable means it takes
millions of years to form and it can
run out when people use it.
This organelle traps sunlight and creates food energy for the plant cell.
What is the chloroplast?
The layer made of liquid iron (it's liquid so convection occurs here)
What is the outer core?
Oil, coal, and gas are examples.
What is a fossil fuel?
Oops! An extra weather question snuck in!! High pressure and Low pressure areas create this kind of weather (Write BOTH)
What is
High - Clear skies and Sunshine
Low - Rain and storms
Oil, coal and natural gas are fossil fuels.
How do fossil fuels form on Earth?
Fossil fuels are formed when dead
plants and animals are broken
down, buried and squeezed by
heat and pressure over millions of
years.
This organelle stores important substances for the cell.
What is a vacuole?
The layer that makes a magnetic field.
The outer core
