Why we can see the Moon from Earth and why we see different portions of the Moon throughout the month.
What is the Moon reflects the light given off from the Sun and the Moon revolves around the Earth?
100
All rocks are made up of these.
What are minerals?
100
Three nonrenewable resources that are called fossil fuels.
What is coal, oil, and natural gas?
100
This force keeps the Moon orbiting the Earth and the Earth orbiting the Sun.
What is gravity?
100
The conditions of the atmosphere from season to season and year to year at a certain location.
What is climate?
200
In layers of the Earth's crust, I would find the oldest fossil here and the youngest fossil here.
What is oldest at the bottom of the layers and youngest at the top of the layers?
200
The three classes of rocks.
What are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic?
200
An increase in the use of these has contributed to global warming.

Earth's weather is mostly caused by this.
What is the uneven heating of Earth?

The crustal plates of Earth are moving because of this and when crustal plates move it causes this.
What is convection currents cause the movement of crustal plates and when they move they cause earthquakes?
500
How each class of rock forms.
What is Sedimentary = cementing/compacting of sediments Metamorphic = heat and pressure from deep in the Earth Igneous = cooling/hardening of lava or magma (volcanic activity)

What are the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core?

500

The Sun "appears" to rise in the East and set in the West because of this motion of Earth.

What is Earth's rotation?

500
