Big Bang Theory
Matter in the Universe began its existence 13.8 billion years ago
What is Big Bang Theory
All the processes of the water cycle
What is evaporation, condensation, precipitation, interception, infiltration, percolation, transpiration, runoff, and storage.
Planets orbit the Sun in elliptical orbits, with the Sun located at one focus
What is Kepler's first law
Where volcanoes mostly occur
What is a hot spot
Responsible for volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis
What is tectonic plates
Method for studying stars
What is the Red-shift
Water released from clouds in forms of rain, sleet, snow, or hail
Sweeps out the same amount of area regardless of the planet
What is Kepler's Second Law
A depression formed from when a volcano erupts or collapses
What is Caldera
Plates move past each other
Expansion of the universe
What is surface runoff
All planets would orbit with the same orbital period d. the period squared to the radius cubed is the same ratio for all planets
What is Kepler's Third Law
Tallest volcano to ever exist
What is Ojos del Salado
Tectonic plates move away from each other
What is divergent boundary
How are the Doppler affect and red-shift related
What is the Red shift is an example of the Doppler Affect
Another name for the water cycle
What is hydrological cycle
How does the period change as the orbital radius increases?
What is the time of the period increases
Volcanoes which occur near plate boundaries
Convergent plates move towards each other
What is convergent boundary
Specialized filters show that there is radiation and heat covering the entire universe
Cosmic Microwave Background
Process of the water cycle
What is water evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere, condenses into rain or snow in clouds, then falls down to the surface as precipitation.
When does the planet move its fastest
What is when its closest to the sun
Volcanoes that have not erupted in a long time
What is a dormant
Large scale motion of plates which makes up the Earth's lithosphere
What is Plate boundary
