Rotation & Revolution
This is when the Earth completes one turn around its axis over the course of 24 hours.
What is rotation?
A spring tide will cause this type of tidal range.
What is the cause of extreme high & low tides?
This is the layer of Earth that has plasticity.
What is the mantle?
These are the loose particles of rock fragments, minerals, and other organic remains that have been broken down by the processes of weathering and erosion.
What is sediment?
This is a geographic area where living and non-living factors work together to form a “bubble of life”.
What is an ecosystem?
This is when the Earth travels once around the sun over the course of 365 days.
What is revolution?
A neap tide will cause this type of tidal range.
What is the cause of the moderate high & low tides?
This is the layer of Earth that is made of liquid nickel & iron.
What is the outer core?
This is the type of rock that is formed by the melting and cooling of magma.
What is igneous rock?
This is the correct order of the levels of organization for organisms.
What is organism, population, community, and ecosystem?
This is when we experience the longest & shortest days of the year.
What are the summer & winter solstices?
This type of tide is the result of the sun & the moon being in alignment.
What is a spring tide?
This is the sphere of Earth that contains all living organisms.
What is the biosphere?
This is the type of rock that is formed by the compaction & cementation of sediment.
What is sedimentary rock?
In an ecosystem, a pond would be an example of this type of factor.
What is an abiotic factor?
This is when both hemispheres are experiencing equal amounts of sunlight.
This type of tide is the result of the moon & the sun forming a 90 degree angle.
What is a neap tide?
This is the sphere of Earth that contains all of the bodies of water.
What is the hydrosphere?
This is the type of rock that is formed during the processes of extreme heat & pressure.
What is metamorphic rock?
This is the type of symbiotic relationship where one organism is harmed, while the other benefits.
What is parasitism?
This is the season the Northern Hemisphere is experiencing when it is tilted away from the sun.
What is winter?
This is the type of tide that will occur during the 1st and 3rd quarter moon phases.
What is a neap tide?
This is the type of sphere interaction that occurs when a volcano erupts which causes molten rock and gasses to be trapped beneath Earth's crust and are then violently released. The eruption spews vast amounts of ash, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and water vapor directly into the air.
What is the geosphere interacting with the atmosphere?
This would be the correct order of the rock cycle when we start with sediment.
What is sediment to sedimentary rock to metamorphic rock to igneous rock?
This is the type of interaction represented when 2 lions are hunting for the same type of organism.
What is competition?
