Interactions in Earth's Systems
Where most of Earth's water is found, but is not drinkable for humans.
What is the ocean?
The dividing line where many earthquakes and volcanoes exist
What is a plate boundary?
When sediment is dropped off.
What is deposition?
This process takes 24 hours on Earth.
What is rotation?
This is a measure of only the water vapor in the air
What is humidity?
This has mass and takes up space.
What is matter?
This boundary creates mountains.
What is a convergent plate boundary?
Rocks that may have vesicles or a glassy texture.
What is an igneous rock?
This season is associated with the least direct sunrays
What is winter?
This type of relationship occurs between altitude and temperature.
What is a indirect?
The process of changing water from a liquid to a gas.
What is evaporation?
This boundary creates volcanic mountain chains.
What is a convergent plate boundary?
This agent of erosion creates sea stacks, arches, and beaches.
What is wave?
This theory explains the origin of the universe
What is Big Bang?
This is the the temperature at which condensation occurs.
What is Dew Point temperature?
The sphere consisting of Earth's living things.
What is the biosphere?
The magma source for a volcano that is NOT located on a plate boundary (ex: Hawaii)
What is a hot spot?
When a mineral breaks along flat edges (ex: breaks into cubes)
What is cleavage?
This phase occurs when less than half of the moon appears to light up from the right side.
What is waxing crescent?
This front forms when cold air moves under warm air.
What is a cold front?
The contour lines on a topographic map create a V shape across rivers. This V shape always points in this direction.
What is upstream?
This Plate Boundary forms volcanic island arcs such as the Caribbean *Be Specific*
What is a Oceanic-Oceanic Convergent boundary?
The kind of Igneous rock that cools inside a volcano and has large crystals.
What is an intrusive igneous rock?
This tide creates the most extreme high and low tides on Earth.
What is a Spring Tide?
The reason why cold air reaches saturation quicker.
What is lower holding capacity or higher density?
