100
The kind of graph used to show percentages or fractions of a whole.
What is a Pie Graph (or Pie Chart)?
100
Decaying bits of living things found in soil
What is organic matter?
100
This is the tool used to find your way around (without GPS), because it points north and south.
What is a compass?
100
The name of the theory of what causes earthquakes and volcanoes.
What is Plate Tectonics?
100
This is the way igneous rocks are formed.
What is cooling from melted rock (magma/lava)?
200
The type of graph used to show a relationship over time or a change in something over time.
What is a line graph?
200
This is the top layer of soil.
What is topsoil?
200
The cause for the differences in terrain in Indiana (according to the rock and soil evidence).
What is glaciation (or glaciers)?
200
This is where the core is.
What is the center of Earth?
200
These are the names of the three types of rock.
What are igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary?
300
You use this type of graph when items are counted or there is a comparison of separate categories.
What is a bar graph?
300
This is the main component of soil, in addition to organic matter. Examples are sand, silt, and clay.
What is weathered rock?
300
This is the reason that the compass points north and south.
What is Earth's magnetic field?
300
This is the type of boundary responsible for the Himalayas.
What is a convergent boundary?
300
This is how rock can become metamorphic rock.
What is exposure to extreme heat and/or pressure.
400
If you are graphing the height of 5 different plants after 4 weeks of treating them all the same, this is the type of graph you would use.
What is an example of when to use a bar graph?
400
This is the process of nature/weather taking away topsoil.
What is erosion?
400
This is what you can do to cause a compass to point in different directions.
What is bringing a magnet (magnetic field) near the compass?
400
This is the kind of boundary responsible for the increased size of the Atlantic Ocean.
What is a divergent boundary?
400
This is how rocks can become sedimentary rocks.
What is pieces of weathered rocks (sediments) getting compressed and cemented together in nature?
500
This is where to put the independent variable when making a line or bar graph.
What is the x-axis?
500
This is what you can do that will reduce the erosion of soil on a hill or the side of river, lake, etc.
What is grow plants to anchor the soil?
500
The terrain difference in Northern Indiana vs. Central Indiana
What is flat plains vs. hills?
500
The only result of movement along a transform boundary.
What is an earthquake?
500
This is what is shown/explained by the "rock cycle."
What is the fact that any type of rock can become any other type of rock?
