Spring tides, Very low/ Very high tides.

300

Which type of plate boundary is pictured below?

Divergent

300

The sun is not the biggest or brightest, but why does it appear like that to us on Earth? 

Because it is the closest to us

300

Which organism on the food web is the most sustainable and why?



The seal because it feeds off of more organisms

400

Why are hurricanes weaker when the approach land?

They lose their source of warm water, moist air

400

What two structure distinguish a plant cell from an animal cell?

Chloroplast and a cell wall

Rift valley, Mid-ocean ridges

400

What happens to the temperature of a star as you go from left to right on an HR Diagram, and what happens to the brightness as you go down the y -axis?

The temperature decreases, luminosity/ brightness goes down

400

Which organism on the food web will have the greatest effect on all other organisms in the ecosystem?

Phytoplankton, because it is the first source of energy flow that connects to all other consumers.

500

500

Which organelle functions to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose?

Chloroplast

500

What season is it in the northern hemisphere for the earth positioned on the left side, and where will the southern hemisphere experience that season? 

Winter, the earth on the left side.

500

Why are different landform generated at convergent boundaries?

Each boundary formation depends on the type of crust that is moving towards each other.  (ex- continental v. oceanic crust)
