The CO2 content of the atmosphere has been ________ for the lasts 150 years.

Increasing

100

This is heat transfer that results from atoms rising when heated and sinking as they become cooler/denser

Convection

100

Which subatomic particle causes ions to form?

Electrons

100

Ionic bonds form between _____ and _____

metal; nonmetal

100

These are the fastest seismic wave

p-wave

200

This is the main reason for the change in atmospheric CO2 over the past 150 years.

Burning fossil fuels

200

The transfer of energy through space in the form of waves is called

Radiation

200

Which subatomic particle causes isotopes to form?

neutron

200

A covalent bond forms between a ______ and a _______

nonmetal; nonmetal

200

This is used as indirect evidence that helps describe the structure of the interior of the earth

seismic waves

300

This is the absorption of radiation by heat-trapping atmospheric gases, causing an increase in the energy received by earth

greenhouse effect

300

Heat transferred through touch 

Conduction

300

Two atoms that have the same atomic number but different mass numbers

Isotopes

300

This group on the periodic table is considered unreactive

Noble gases
300

This is the correct order of earth's 4 layers from the surface to the interior

crust, mantle, outer core, inner core

400

How would an increase in cloud coverage over the earth affect the albedo over the earth?

Increase the albedo

400

This is the hottest layer of earth's interior

Inner core

400

What the rows on the periodic table are called

Periods

400
These 2 groups on the periodic table are the most reactive

Halogens and alkali metals

400

This layer of the earth experiences the highest amount of pressure

Inner core

500

The general idea behind earth's energy budget is that for earth's temperature to be stable, incoming and outgoing energy must be ______

Equal

500
It is widely believed that this is what causes the movement of earth's plates

convection currents in the mantle

500

What the columns on the periodic table are called (must provide all terms possible)

Groups/famillies

500

During a reaction, metals tend to ____ electrons, while nonmetals tend to _____ electrons

Lose; Gain
500

How does the structure of earth's interior affect seismic waves?

It affects the speed/direction of seismic waves as they travel through different layers/material
