100
When more than one individual or population tries to use the same limited resources _______________ occurs.
What is competition?
100
In a wetlands ecosystem, an alligator, turtle, algae, and a sandhill crane are all examples of ___________ factors.
What is biotic?
200
The earth sphere is made up of gases like nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.
What is the atmosphere?
200
This is the name of the layer that is composed of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle.
What is the lithosphere?
200
These two processes occur to make a metamorphic rock.
What are extreme heat and pressure?
200
This is what happens to prey numbers as predator numbers decrease.
What is they increase?
200
This is the layer of the atmosphere in which all weather occurs.
What is the troposphere?
300
During a wildfire, large areas of forestry are burned and many ecosystems are disrupted with smoke filling the air. These are the two spheres interacting.
What are the biosphere and the atmosphere?
300
This layer is right below the lithosphere and its movement contributes to continental drift.
What is the asthenosphere?
300
These are the processes that occur to create an igneous rock.
What are melting and cooling/crystallization?
300
As prey numbers decrease, predator numbers __________, because there is less food available.
What is decrease?
300
This is the coldest layer of the atmosphere.
What is the mesosphere?
400
As a penguin slides across the ice and into the ocean to hunt for some fish. These are the two spheres that are interacting.
What are the hydrosphere and the biosphere?
400
The inner and outer cores are both made of _____ and _______. The outer core is so hot it is _______ but the inner core is _______ even though it is hotter, due to high pressure.
What is iron, nickel, liquid/molten, and solid?
400
These are the first 3 processes in making a sedimentary rock.
What are weathering, erosion, and deposition?
400
This is a biotic factor the caterpillars depend on in the garden.
What is food/leaves/plants?
400
In a prairie lands ecosystem, snakes, hawks, and owls all depend on the mice population for food. If the bird flu hits the area and a large number of owls and hawks become ill and pass away, what will happen to the mouse population. Why?
The mouse population will increase because there are less predators to take down their numbers and more survivors to reproduce?
500
These are the atmosphere layers in order from most dense to least dense.
Bonus if you can state the mnemonic to help remember it.
What is troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere?

These are all the steps in becoming a sedimentary rock, in order. (6)
What are weathering, erosion, deposition, pressure, compaction, and cementation?
