Discovering New Worlds
This term distinguishes red light different from blue light.
What is wavelength?
This process helps determine the absolute age of rocks.
What is radioactive/radiometric dating?
This is how different materials form layers in Earth's interior.
What is density?
These are three weather variables.
Three orbital factors affecting climate.
What are eccentricity, angle of Earth's axis, position of Earth's axis.
This page of the ESSRT can you find the Emission Spectra of Some Elements from Stars?
What is page 3?
You use this isotope to date younger sediment (rocks).
What is Carbon-14?
This forces explains why more massive materials sink.
What is gravity?
One reason why energy distribution is uneven throughout Earth's atmosphere.
Seasonal variations, angle of insolation, temperature gradient
Serbian scientist who collected & analyzed temperature cycles over the last 350 thousand years.
Who is Milankovitch?
The process responsible for releasing all energy coming from the sun
What is nuclear fusion?
This element increased sharply in the atmosphere from nearly 0% about 2.4-2.5 billion years ago.
What is oxygen?
P-waves are able to transfer energy through these materials.
What are liquids and solids?
The uneven heating of Earth's surface creates temperature differences leads to density differences, which causes differences in this weather factor.
What are air pressure differences?
Colder/cooler times with large ice sheets covering much of North American and Europe.
What are glacial periods?
The amount of hydrogen atoms that fuse together to create one helium and energy.
What is the number of hydrogen needed for nuclear fusion?
The rise of oxygen in the atmosphere was due to this process.
What is photosynthesis?
This surface feature is formed at diverging plate boundaries.
What are ridges?
From high pressure to low pressure.
The stage we are currently in today (2026).
What is interglacial period?
These two factors affect gravity.
What are distance and mass?
Geologically Important Radioactive Elements Used for Radiometric Dating can be found on this page of the ESSRT.
What is page 15?
What are areas of high seismic (earthquake) activity.
The name of the wind belt that influences the track of low pressure systems and high pressure systems across the United States.
What is/are the Westerlies?
What are humans?
