Tectonic Plates
This type of plate boundary occurs when plates move apart
divergent boundary
This soil type has the smallest particles and holds the most water.
Clay!
This layer of the atmosphere is where weather occurs.
troposphere
This boundary forms when plates collide, often creating mountains
convergent boundary
Soil is made of sand, silt, clay, and this organic material. Found in the O Horizon.
Humus
The most abundant gas in Earth’s atmosphere.
Nitrogen
This type of boundary is responsible for earthquakes due to sliding plates
transform boundary
This test determines the acidity or alkalinity of soil.
pH test
This effect causes wind to curve due to Earth’s rotation.
Coriolis effect
These geological events can be predicted using maps of plate boundaries.
Earthquakes and volcanoes
This property measures how easily water moves through soil.
Permeability
What atmospheric level is most of the ozone in?
Stratosphere
This type of boundary is most likely to form ocean ridges or trenches.
divergent boundary
This layer is mostly minerals and lies below topsoil. (Which Horizon?)
B horizon
Mountains can create this effect, causing one side to be dry.
rain shadow effect
