Earth Systems

100

This layer of Earth is where we live and is the thinnest layer.

Crust

200

This layer is responsible for plate movement due to its slow flowing rock.

Mantle

300

A scientist describes a layer as extremely dense and made mostly of iron. Which layer is it?

Core

DOUBLE POINTS

400

Why is the mantle important to surface features like mountains and earthquakes?

It drives plate movement

STEAL 200 POINTS

500

If the mantle stopped moving, what would happen to plate tectonics?

Plate movement would stop 

TRIPLE POINTS

Plate Tectonics

100

Plates moving apart form this type of boundary.

Divergent

200

Plates sliding past each other form this type of boundary.

Transform

300

Which boundary type is most likely to create mountain ranges?

Convergent

DOUBLE POINTS

400

A region experiences frequent earthquakes but no volcanoes. What boundary is most likely?

Transform

ONLY SELECTING TEAM EARNS POINTS

500

Explain why convergent boundaries can form both mountains and volcanoes.

Plates collide and one may subduct creating magma

STEAL 300 POINTS

Agriculture & Food

100

The inability to consistently access enough nutritious food is called this.

Food insecurity

200

This farming system keeps thousands of animals in close quarters.

CAFO

300

Why does hunger persist even when food production is high?

Unequal distribution of food 

DOUBLE POINTS

400

Why do CAFOs often lead to environmental problems?

Large amounts of concentrated waste

STEAL 200 POINTS

500

Explain one environmental benefit of reducing meat consumption.

Less land, water, and methane 

TRIPLE POINTS

Land Use Impacts

100

Breaking down rock without moving it is called this.

Weathering

200

Moving sediment from one place to another is called this.

Erosion

300

Overgrazing can lead to this long term environmental change.

Desertification

DOUBLE POINTS

400

Why does fertilizer runoff harm aquatic ecosystems?

Causes eutrophication

STEAL 200 POINTS

500

Explain why eutrophication leads to fish dying.

Decomposition uses oxygen 

ONLY SELECTING TEAM EARNS POINTS

Sustainability

100

This irrigation method uses the least water.

Drip irrigation

200

This farming practice helps restore soil nutrients naturally

Crop rotation

300

Planting crops to hold soil in place is called this.

Cover crops

DOUBLE POINTS

400

Why is selective cutting more sustainable than clear cutting?

It preserves the forest

STEAL 300 POINTS

500

What is the main goal of sustainable development?

Meet needs without harming future generations
