Rizzology 101
Select a teammate in your team.
Have that teammate select an opp.
Come to the front of class.
You will hit the griddy to a certain location.
The first one to griddy to that location and back wins 1000 points and takes their opp with them.
Rizz or No Rizz?
If your team chooses Rizz, Mr. Gonzales will help you with (1) question [NOT FINAL JEOPARDY]; if you chose No Rizz, you could steal one team member from an opposing team.
What is the capital of Ohio? (10 seconds to answer, once I hit 10 you cannot answer anymore)
Columbus, Ohio
True or False:
Rift Valleys are formed when two continental plates collide.
False
An ancient supercontinent that included all of Earth's landmasses.
Pangea
What vocabulary word is this: The crystallization and hardening of dissolved minerals that bind sediments together
Cementation
What evidence from mountain ranges supports the theory of continental drift?
A) Mountain ranges only form along coastlines
B) The Appalachian and Caledonian mountain ranges have similar rock types and structures despite being on different continents
C) Mountains never move
B) The Appalachian and Caledonian mountain ranges have similar rock types and structures despite being on different continents
What landform is created by the deposition of sediments at the mouth of a river?
Delta
Which statement is correct regarding metamorphic rock formation?
A) The temperature inside Earth is cooler, allowing metamorphic rocks to form more quickly.
B) The deeper into Earth’s crust, the higher the pressure that forms metamorphic rocks.
B) The deeper into Earth’s crust, the higher the pressure that forms metamorphic rocks.
How does wind erosion primarily shape desert landscapes?
Through the process of deflation, removing fine particles like sand and dust, and abrasion, smoothing rock surfaces.
True or False:
As new seafloor moves away from an ocean ridge, the seafloor cools and becomes less dense than the material beneath it.
False
Select a team member.
Have that team member select 2 opps.
Come to the front of the class.
The three of you must have a dance-off. If one or two or three of you do not dance you all lose all your points. The person to win the dance-off steals the opps and brings them back to their table.
The winner collects an additional 3000 points.
What vocabulary word is this:
Underwater mountain ranges formed by plate tectonics.
mid-ocean ridges
Who proposed the theory of continental drift?
Alfred Wegener
Select 1 teammate
have that teammate select an OPP
go to the front of the class
PUSH UP BATTLE
Whoever does 20 push-ups first wins 3000 points and earns an OFFICIAL "SIGMA LICENSE.
What does Rizz mean to you? Write this on a sticky note.
If you say something childish and dumb, you lose 4000 points.
If you say something insightful and lowkey poetic you gain 4000 points.
What is weathering?
The breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces by wind, water, and other factors.
What type of plate boundary leads to the formation of volcanic mountains like the Andes?
Convergent Plate Boundary
How do earthquakes reshape the Earth’s surface?
Earthquakes can cause surface ruptures, landslides, tsunamis, etc. These outcomes can cause significant property damage, transform landforms, and produce cracks in the earth's surface.
What discovery helped prove the process of seafloor spreading?
A) Symmetrical magnetic stripes on either side of mid-ocean ridges
B) The presence of mountain ranges only on land
A) Symmetrical magnetic stripes on either side of mid-ocean ridges
In simpler terms, explain how does seafloor spreading work
Seafloor spreading is a geologic process that occurs at divergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates move apart and create new ocean floor.
How are beaches made?
When waves and currents erode rocks and other materials from the shoreline and deposit the resulting sediment, like sand, onto the coast, creating a gradual slope as the waves lose energy and drop the particles they carry; this process is called deposition, and the shape of a beach is largely determined by the movement of waves and tides.
The person that selected this question, you went too hard at the Casino and now are deeply bankrupt, you must now trade half of your team or lose all your points.
The person that selected this question, you went too hard at the Casino and now are deeply bankrupt, you must now trade half of your team or lose all your points.
You win 5000 points, as a gift of gratitude you must give a team 5000 points.
If you are selfish you lose 10,000 points.
If you are selfish you lose 10,000 points.
Explain the rock cycle and the different types of rocks that can be formed.
The rock cycle is a continuous process where rocks transform from one type to another through various geological processes like melting, cooling, weathering, erosion, and compaction, resulting in three main rock types: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic; each formed under different conditions of heat and pressure within the Earth's crust.
