100
This is what we call the cloud of gas and dust that our solar system formed from.
What is Solar Nebula
100
This system contains all living things on Earth.
What is biosphere?
100
These layers of the earth are made of this kind of metal.
What is outer core--liquid iron and nickel and inner core--solid iron and nickel?
100
This is a force that pulls all objects based on mass and distance.
What is gravity.
100
This is what we call the protective, magnetic field around the earth.
What is the magnetosphere?
200
The newly formed earth grew enough in mass to generate this:
What is thermal energy or heat?
200
A penguin is part of this Earth system.
What is the biosphere?
200
This is what happens the deeper you go toward the center of the earth.
What is temperature and pressure increase?
200
This principle is defined as how much mass per unit of volume of something or how tightly compacted something is.
What is density?
200
The magnetic field around the earth protects the geosphere and biosphere from this...
What is radiation, solar storms, solar wind, etc.
300
This pulled the space materials closer together.
What is gravity?
300
We call the system that contains glaciers this:
What is the cryosphere.
300
This layer is like plastic.....
What is the asthenosphere?
300
This is what we call how much space something takes up.
What is volume?
300
These two layers of the geosphere interact to cause a magnetic field to develop around the earth.
What is the inner core and outer core?
400
The materials forming the geosphere settled into layers based on this principle of science.
What is density?
400
The hydrosphere replenishes the moisture in this system which is responsible for snow.
What is the atmosphere.
400
This is what scientists use to study the layers of the earth.
Seismic waves from earthquakes.
400
In the formula D=m/V The letter m stands for this.
What is mass?
400
What is the scientific name for the lights seen in the night sky for both poles of the earth?
What is Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis?
500
The layers of the geosphere in order are:
What is the Lithosphere Asthenosphere Mantle Outer core Inner core
500
The asthenosphere is part of this system of the earth:
What is the geosphere?
500
The layer contains semi-molten rock that is solid and convection currents from thermodynamic heat.
What is the mantle?
500
This is the description for density.
What is D=m/V or how much mass something has (similar to weight) compared to how much space it takes up?
500
Compass needles line up with this.
What is the force field around the earth that emerges from the poles?
