What is the hydrosphere?
What is...the water on Earth...oceans, lakes, and rivers.
Explain convergent boundaries
What are...boundaries where plate tectonics may collide and or slide underneath one another causing earthquakes and even volcanoes
Describe precipitation
This 7th grade teacher loves everything science.
Who is...Mr. Bennett
What is the geosphere?
What is...the portion of the Earth that includes rocks and minerals. It starts at the ground and extends all the way down to Earth's core.
Explain divergent boundaries
The Himalayas (to include Mount Everest...the tallest point on Earth) were formed due to this kind of plate boundary colliding
What is...a convergent plate boundary.
This 7th grade teacher loves numbers.
Who is Mrs. Oppenheimer (Mrs. Oppie)
What is the atmosphere?
What is...the air on Earth; includes all the gases surrounding Earth.
Explain transform boundaries
What are...boundaries where plate tectonics slide past each other causing earthquakes
What is...a transform fault boundary
This 7th grade teacher really knows a lot about history.
Who is Mr. Fry
***Label the steps in the water cycle: See email for picture of water cycle with blank/filled labels.
What are...accumulation, evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and transpiration
***What are three types of plate boundaries?
What are...Divergent Boundaries, Convergent Boundaries, and Transform Boundaries
What is the name of the land mass that occurred when all continents were connected/close together?
What is...Pangaea
This 7th grade teacher knows how to help you read and understand what you are reading.
Who is Ms. Shoumaker (Ms. Shou)
***Describe the flow of the cycling of water through the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere.
What is...Water collects in the hydrosphere in places like oceans, lakes, rivers and streams. Water evaporates into the atmosphere and condensation occurs before precipitation takes place (rain or snow). Water and ice cause weathering, erosion and deposition on land in the geosphere.
***What evidence did Alfred Wegener use to support his theory of continental drift?
What are...fossil discoveries
***What is true of tectonic plates?
What is...they are constantly moving
These two 7th grade teachers teach not only 7th but also 8th grade.
Who are Mr. Fry and Mr. Bennett
