200
The ability to do work.
What is energy?
200
The crust and uppermost mantle make us the rigid outer layer of Earth called this.
What is the lithosphere?
200
When you feel the burning of your skin because the heat transfer is between you and the material, like hot sand.
What is conduction? *Be prepared to describe the three types of heat transfer or do a compare and contrast!
200
The shape of the land.
What is topography?
200
Another word for legend.

300
Any size group of interacting parts that form a complex whole.
What is a system?
300
The crust is made up of these two types of crust, which is made up of these two types of rock.
What is continental crust is made of granite and the oceanic crust is made of basalt?
300
How much mass there is per volume is this measurement.
What is density?

The Rocky Mountains have this type of relief and this type of elevation.
What is a high relief and a high elevation?
300
A change in elevation from one contour line to the next.
What is a contour interval? *Be prepared to read a contour map!
400
Life-forms of the biosphere are located in these spheres.

Convection currents are found in this layer of the earth.
What is the mantle?
400
This type of plain can be found near water.
What are coastal plains?
400
The difference between longitude and latitude.
What is longitudinal lines run north and south and are east and west of the prime meridian, while the latitude lines run east to west and are north and south of the equator?
500
This is demonstrated when warmer temperatures affect the melting of glaciers, which can affect the geosphere (ground), hydrosphere (glaciers), and atmosphere (climate).
What is feedback?
500
Double Jeopardy The similarities and differences of the inner core and outer core. Bonus: What does the spinning of the outer core on the inner core create?
What is the inner core and outer are both made of iron and nickel, they are both layers of the core, the difference is that the outer core is made of liquid metal and the inner core is solid metal. Earth's magnetic field
500
These three processes or forces set convection currents in motion.
What is heating and cooling of fluid, changes in density, and force of gravity?
500
Lewis and Clark traveled across these two landforms. Give the names.
