EROSION,DEPOSITION AND WEATHERING
What occurs when water seeps into rock cracks, freezes, and then expands? How does this impact the rock over time?
WEATHERING
This process contributes to the gradual breakdown of rocks and plays a significant role in shaping landscapes.
What is the name of the moon phase when it is completely dark and not visible from Earth?
NEW MOON
What is gravity?
is the force that pulls objects toward each other. It keeps planets in orbit around the Sun, causes apples to fall from trees, and holds everything on Earth in place.
How many planets are in our galaxy?
8 planets
If you mix red and blue paint together, what color do you get?
Purple
What is the process by which rock surfaces are gradually worn down by particles carried by wind, water, or ice?
Abrasion.
Which moon phase comes after the new moon and shows a small sliver of light?
Waxing Crescent
How do the sun and the moon influence natural processes on Earth?
The Sun provides energy that drives processes like weather, climate, and photosynthesis. The Moon affects tides through its gravitational pull, causing regular movements of water in oceans and seas.
Which planet is closest to the Sun and is the smallest in our solar system?
Mercury
What is the name of the galaxy that Earth is in?
What happens to materials after they are eroded, and how does this affect landforms?
Depending on the erosional force's strength and direction, these materials can end up in various places. Often, sediments are deposited in new locations such as riverbeds, deltas, or coastal areas, where they accumulate over time.
What is the name of the moon phase when half of the moon is illuminated and it appears as a half-circle?
First Quarter
What major challenge is humanity struggling with in Interstellar?
A global ecological crisis
Which planet spins on its side and has a bluish-green color due to methane gas?
uranus
HOW SOME OF MY STUDENTS CALL ME?
MISS STEPHY
How do physical and chemical processes work together to break down rocks into smaller particles?
Physical weathering increases the surface area of rocks, making them more vulnerable to chemical reactions
Which phase occurs between the first quarter and the full moon, when more than half but not all of the moon is visible?
Waxing Gibbous
What are some of the celestial objects visible in the night sky, and how do they differ from one another?
Stars are bright, burning balls of gas, while planets reflect light from the Sun and move through the sky. Moons orbit planets, and meteors are small space rocks that burn up in Earth’s atmosphere, producing streaks of light.
Which planet is known as the "Red Planet" because of its rusty, red-colored surface?
Mars
How many kids do I have?
3
What causes sediment to settle and accumulate in certain locations, and what impact does this have on landscapes?
This accumulation of sediment impacts landscapes by creating features like sandbars, deltas, beaches, or riverbeds.
What is the name of the phase when the entire face of the moon is illuminated?
Full Moon
What causes the apparent movement of stars in the night sky?
The apparent movement of stars is caused by Earth's rotation on its axis. As Earth rotates, different parts of the sky become visible at different times, making stars appear to move across the sky.
Which planet is known as Earth's "sister planet" because it is similar in size and has a thick, toxic atmosphere?
Venus
What is the name of the fairy tale character who left a glass slipper at a royal ball?
Cinderella
What role does climate play in determining the type of soil that develops in a specific area?
Climate plays a major role in determining the type of soil that develops in a specific area by influencing weathering, erosion, and organic matter decomposition.
Which phase occurs after the full moon, when the illuminated part of the moon begins to shrink?
Waning Gibbous
In what ways does gravity influence different planets in Interstellar? Provide an example from the film.
In Interstellar, gravity plays a role in time dilation on planets near a black hole. The planet Miller’s planet experiences extreme gravity near the black hole, causing time to pass much slower than on Earth.
Which planet is the farthest from the Sun and has the strongest winds in the solar system?
Neptune
What is the name of the famous wizarding school in the Harry Potter series?
Harry Potter
What causes sediment to settle and accumulate in certain locations, and what impact does this have on landscapes?
Sediment settles and accumulates in certain locations due to the force of gravity and changes in the transporting medium (such as water, wind, or ice).
What is the name of the moon phase when only half of the moon is visible, but it is decreasing in size?
Last Quarter (Third Quarter)
How does Interstellar illustrate the effects of relativity? Give a specific moment from the movie as an example.
The movie illustrates time dilation, a key concept of general relativity, when the crew visits Miller’s planet near a black hole. Due to the intense gravity, time on the planet passes much more slowly than on Earth—one hour on the planet equals seven years on Earth.
Which planet do we live on?
Earth
Name one of the Burros in mission
Fiona
Chayanne
Igor
How does mechanical weathering differ from chemical weathering, and what are some examples of each?
Mechanical weathering (also called physical weathering) breaks rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition. This process occurs due to physical forces such as temperature changes, pressure, or the action of wind, water, or ice.
Which moon phase occurs just before the new moon, when only a small sliver of light is visible?
Waning Crescent
What major challenge is humanity struggling with in Interstellar?
Humanity is struggling with the decline of Earth’s environment, caused by dust storms, crop blight, and a lack of resources that threatens the survival of the human race.
Which is the largest planet in our solar system and has a famous Great Red Spot?
Jupiter
How many years since Colegio Mission was open?
