What is an aquifer and an aquitard?
An aquifer is a rock layer that allows groundwater to flow through it. An aquitard is a rock layer that restricts the flow of groundwater.
What is a pattern? AND you know what you got to sing.
something that happens in a repeated and predictable way
ostinato
Define dissolve and what can dissolve everything?
dissolve, or mix the particles of one substance evenly into the particles of another substance. water
Define plate tectonics.
The theory that the lithospheric plates are in constant motion is called plate tectonics
Define precipitation
Precipitation is any form of water that falls from Earth’s atmosphere to the ground.
Define lithospheric plates and where do volcanoes and earthquakes usually happen on them.
Earth’s lithosphere is broken into pieces of various sizes called lithospheric plates, also referred to as Earth’s plates. At plate boundaries is where earthquakes/volcanoes tend to happen.
Two definitions of geological time
billions, millions of years
a school day
What is an indicator?
An indicator is any visible sign that shows the condition of the system being studied.
BEST. TEACHER. EVER.

Define atmosphere.
The atmosphere is a mixture of gases (“air”) that surrounds planet Earth.
Who was Wegner and what did he come up with?
scientist who came up with continental drift.
Ancient sea or wetlands buried deep can create what natural resource?
petroleum.
Define erosion, deposition and weathering
The removal of sediments from an area is called erosion. Deposition which happens when the current slows down and the sediments settle out of the flowing water, ice, or wind and drop to the ground. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces. Rocks crack, crumble, and are broken apart by water and wind over time.
Define criteria and constraints
All engineering projects have minimum requirements, called criteria (singular criterion), for how the design must function. Projects also have constraints, things that limit or restrict the design.
What is a cold front and a warm front? AND which tends to cause storms?
cold front is when a cool air mass replaces warm air. a warm front is when a warm front replaces a cold air mass. A warm front tends to cause storms.
What causes the lithospheric plates to move?
Define per capita consumption and calculate: 15 students ate 60 cookies. What is per capita?
The average amount of resources used per person is known as per capita consumption. 4
What powers the water cycle?
Sun's energy and Earth's gravity
What are the three plate boundary types and how do they move? AND which cause earthquakes and/or volcanoes.
transform slide past each other cause earthquakes. divergent move away and cause both. Convergent move towards each other and cause both.
What is the difference between weather and climate?
weather are the conditions now, climate is the average conditions over a long period of time
What is subduction and what is convection?
subduction is one plate being forced under another. The transfer of thermal energy by the movement of matter of different temperatures.
How does sedimentary rock, Igneous rock and metamorphic rock form?
sedimentary rock is sediment that has been pressed down under extreme pressure, igneous rock from lava cooling, metamorphic rock from magma cooling and pressure
What is the water quality? 10 MSC organisms 30 total organisms 0-25% is poor. 26-49% is moderate 50-100% is good
moderate
Describe the 5 steps to 3D print an ORIGINAL creation.
create in TinkerCAD, export, import to Cura, Slice then save on thumbdrive.
What does a weather vane and anemometer measure?
wind direction and speed
