Which landform would most likely be caused by a glacier?
100
The Sun
What is at the center of our solar system?
100
A change in weather
What does a sudden change in wind direction, air temperature, and cloud cover most likely signal?
200
Solar, hydroelectric, biofuel, wind
What is an example of alternative energy?
200
Prehistoric plants and animals
What has to die in order to make a fossil or fossil fuels?
200
Shells on the bottom layer
Looking at a diagram that showed:
leaves on top
fish bones in the middle
and shells on the bottom layer
Which came first?
200
The Moon
What is the Earth's natural satellite?
200
The average weather and temperature pattern over a period of at least 30 years.
What is climate?
300
Coal, oil
What is an example of a fossil fuel?
300
Heat and pressure
Besides time and dead plants and animals, what else do you need to apply to make a fossil or fossil fuels?
300
Leaves on the top layer.
Looking at a diagram that showed:
leaves on the top layer
fish bones in the middle
and shells on the bottom layer
Which cam last?
300
An Atmosphere, oceans, much more gravity
What does the Earth have that the Moon does not?
300
The Sun's energy causes water on the surface of the ocean to change into water vapor.
What interaction occurs between the ocean and the Sun in the water cycle?
400
Alternative energy: solar, wind, water, biofuel, hydroelectric, geothermal
What is a form of renewable energy?
400
Plant and animal remains were deposited with sediment over time.
Why are fossil fuels found in sedimentary rock?
400
Ice, wind, and water
What are three types of weathering?
400
Rocky surface with mountains and valleys
What do the Earth and Moon have in common?
400
The gravitational pull between the Earth and the Moon
What causes the tides?
500
Fossil fuels: coal, oil
What is a form of nonrenewable energy?
500
Oceans covered the land. Organisms died and were deposited with sediments. Deposition of sediments continued for millions of years.
What is the sequence for how sedimentary rock was formed?
500
Wind can move sediment or sand through weathering, erosion, and then depositing sediment or sand in a new location. It can also smooth down the edges of sharp rocks and erode rock sediments to a new location.
How can wind change (construct or deconstruct) landforms?
500
The Earth rotates on its axis
Why does the sun appear to move across the sky each day?
