100
The three categories all rocks can be put into.
What are igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary?
100
Three particles from weathered rocks that are part of soil composition.
What are sand, silt, and clay?
100
The three types of plate movement.
What are convergent, divergent, and transform.
100
The transform fault that runs through Southern California causing frequent earthquakes.
What is the San Andreas Fault?
100
Oxidation reaction
What is chemical weathering?
200
This type of rock is created by cooling and it's name means "produced from fire".
What is igneous?
200
These are 3 of 5 factors that affect soil formation.
What are parent material, topography, climate, plants and animals, and time. (Any combination of 3 of these is acceptable)
200
Result of oceanic crust sliding underneath continental crust during convergence.
What is subduction zone?
200
Two types of body waves produced by earthquakes.
What are p-waves and s-waves?
200
Frost Wedging.
What is mechanical weathering.
300
This rock is formed from heat and pressure.
What is metamorphic?
300
This means "full of holes" and can determine the permeability of soil.
What is porosity?
300
The process of recycling and making new oceanic crust.
What is sea floor spreading?
300
The area where the energy from an earthquake is released.
What is the focus?
300
Exfoliation
What is mechanical weathering?
400
These types of rocks can weather and become sediments.
What is any type of rock?
400
This is the ability of fluids to flow through soil.
What is permeability?
400
Most earthquakes fall on this type of plate boundary.
What is a transform fault?
400
The focus is measured by this.
What is the magnitude?
400
Hydrolysis
What is chemical weathering?
500
This is one process that drives the rock cycle.
What is mantle convection?
500
Besides conductivity, these 4 characteristics of soil can be measured to determine the ability of plants to grow in it.
What are pH, nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous.
500
The two features formed at subduction zones.
What are trenches and volcanoes?
500
This is caused by an earthquake in the middle of the ocean.
What is a tsunami?
500
Water
What is chemical, mechanical, and erosion?
