Scientific Process
100
The name of the group of sciences that include Earth and it's neighbors in space.
What is Earth Science
100
A group of interacting parts that form a complex whole.
What is a system?
100
The Earth System has two of these.
What is an Energy Source?
100
0 degrees latitude is known as this.
What is the Equator?
100
Our sugar cube lab demonstrated this in it's most basic form.
What is scientific process?
200
Includes the study of volcanoes, earthquakes, layers of Earth and the rocks of the Earth.
What is Geology?
200
Bacteria belong to this part of the Earth system.
What is the Biosphere?
200
The energy from this source will create a hurricane.
What is the sun?
200
The prime meridian is at this location.
What is 0 degrees longitude?
200
In a controlled experiment, the two groups are the same except for this.
What is the independent variable?
300
Recently we experienced a solar eclipse. The study of this phenomenon would be included in this field of study.
What is Astronomy?
300
97% of the hydrosphere is salt water while the fresh water is equal to this amount.
What is the 3%?
300
California is known for earthquakes, which would be fueled by this energy source.
What is Earth's interior?
300
These indicate elevation on a topographic map. If they are close together, it indicates this, if they are far apart, it indicates this.
What are contour lines; what is steep slope; what is more gradual slope.
400
Hurricanes, tornadoes, heat waves and thunderstorms would all be studied under this field.
What is Meteorology?
400
This is divided into three major areas, known as the crust, mantle and core.
What is the Geosphere?
400
External processes fueled by the sun include these (list two).
What is weather, climate, ocean circulation, storms, waves, wind, etc.
400
A hill on a map has a peak elevation of 100m and the contour interval is 10m. How many contour lines would indicate a decrease to 70m?
What is three lines?
400
The group that has one thing changed or manipulated is called this.
What is the experimental group?
500
Field of study that might include seamounts, waves, salinity or circulation.
What is Oceanography?
500
An increase in atmospheric temperature could affect these parts of the Earth System.
What is the Hydrosphere, Geosphere, Atmosphere, and Biosphere.
500
True or False - if over time, a mountain range is created, this will affect the biosphere, and atmosphere.
What is true.
500
An experiment should never have more than one of these.
What is a variable?
