100

Name the 5 oceans

Atlantic
Pacific
Indian
Southern
Arctic

200

Name the 7 continents 

North America
South America
Europe
Asia
Africa
Oceania
Antarctica 

300

What ocean runs along the very bottom of the Earth near antarctica 

Southern

400

What ocean spans to southern border of Asia and eastern coast of Africa 

Indian 

500

What ocean spans from the western coast of North / South America all the way to the eastern coast of Asia

Pacific 

Classification / Sustainability

100

What classifies countries based on level of development?

The World Bank

200

Name one clean energy source that is sustainable 

Solar, water, wind, biomass 

300

Define sustainability

The ability to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs 

400

What are two differences between a high income country and a low income country 

High- strong economy, high education, low poverty, better living and medical

Low- the opposite 

500

Determine the money that each classification gets
Low
Middle
High

Low- below 1000ish
Middle- between 1000-13000ish
High- above 13000ish

Atmosphere

100

List the atmospheric layers from the closest to the Earth outward

- Include where the ozone layer is located

Troposphere

Stratosphere (with ozone)

Mesosphere

Thermosphere

200

What are the three major gases found in the atmosphere 

Nitrogen 

Oxygen
Argon 

300

List three greenhouse gases

Water vapor
Carbon dioxide
Nitrous oxide
Ozone
Methane
CFC

400

Describe how the temperature changes through each layer of the atmosphere 

Troposphere- temperature decreases

Stratosphere- temp increases

Mesosphere- temp decreases

Thermosphere- temp increases 

500

Explain in depth how the greenhouse effect works

UV rays from the sun is absorbed into Earths surface, it is sent back out as infrared light, it is absorbed by greenhouse gases 

Cycles

100

What phase of the water cycle has water going from a liquid to gas through plants?

Transpiration 

200

What phase of the water cycle has water being absorbed into the soil?

Infiltration 

300

Globally the water cycle is a closed system. What does that mean?

The amount of water we have at all times is constant / no water being made or destroyed 

400

Identify if each phase is adding carbon into the cycle or taking carbon out of the cycle

- photosynthesis
- respiration
- decomposition
-combustion
-fossilization

- photosynthesis = taken out
- respiration = put in
- decomposition = put in
-combustion = put in
-fossilization = taken out 

- feeding = transfers 

500

Write the formula AND written out equation for photosynthesis 

CO₂ + H₂O --> C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂

Carbon dioxide + water --> Glucose + oxygen

Ecosystems

100

What direction do the arrows point in a food chain / food web

Where the energy is going / who is doing the eating 

200

What are each of the trophic levels called if you have 4 organisms in a chain

1- producer

2- primary consumer

3- secondary consumer

4- tertiary consumer / apex

300

A producer has 15400 kJ of energy. How much energy would the tertiary consumer get?

15.4
