Because, science....and topography.
It's in the genes!
Work it!
Respect my boundaries!
It's what's inside that counts.

A scientist wants to determine what kind of corn grows best in his climate. He plants 3 varieties of corn and measures their growth after 3 months. What is the independent variable?
The variety of corn that is planted.

What do we call the combination of alleles when there is one recessive and one dominant allele in the genotype? Example: Gg
What is heterozygous?

This is how you increase the potential energy in a system.
What is make an object do what it doesn't naturally want to do?

Crust is destroyed at these types of boundaries at oceanic/continental plate boundaries.
What are convergent plate boundaries (subduction zones or deep ocean trenches)?

The arrows below are depicting what phenomenon in the mantle.
What are convection currents?

An engineer wants to determine if the life of an engine changes based on the type of gasoline used. She puts 3 different types of gasoline in 3 identical cars and runs them over the course of a year. What is the dependent variable?
The life of the engine.

This is when both alleles are equally dominant and so both show up in the offspring.
What is codominance?
200
Increasing either of these will increase gravitational potential energy.
What is weight (mass) and height?

Rift valleys form on land and mid-ocean ridges form in the ocean at these types of plate boundaries.
What are divergent plate boundaries?
200
Areas on the earth's surface where no seismic activity is detected.
What are shadow zones?
300
This connects points of equal elevation on a topographic map.
What is a contour interval?

What is the genotype of the beetles in group T?
What is homozygous recessive (hh)?

This increases magnetic potential energy.
Bringing same poles closer or separating opposite poles.

The Hawaiian Islands are an example of this type of volcano that forms away from plate boundaries.
What is a hot spot?
300
This is the heat source for convection currents in the mantle.
What is the Earth's core?

What is the contour interval of the map below?
10 feet.

The alleles for freckles are F and f. Freckles are dominant (F) to no freckles. What are the possible genotypes of offspring from two heterozygous parents?
FF, Ff, and ff.

This island is the youngest.
What is island Z?

This is the reason that the p-waves appear to refract (bend) in the diagram below.
What is when p-waves enter a new layer of the Earth's interior?

A flower farmer wants to know how the amount of sunlight affects the number of flowers produced on tulip plants. What are the dependent and independent variables?
Dependent=Number of flowers
Independent=Amount of sunlight

These three theories combine to form the Theory of Plate Tectonics proposed by E.O Wilson.
What are the theory of sea floor spreading (Harry Hess), the theory of continental drift (Alfred Wegener) and the theory of convection currents in the mantle driving plate movement (Robert Dietz)?
500
These three properties increase the deeper you go into the Earth's interior.
What are temperature, pressure and density?
