Describe combustion.
What is fossil fuels such as the release of gasoline from a car or methane or propane.
100
What is the difference between a prototype and a model?
What is a prototype is a working sample and a model looks exactly like the real thing but doesn't work.
100
What is the order of Earth's five layers from the inside out?
What is the Inner core, Outer Core, Mantle, Asthenosphere, and Lithosphere.
100
What is the difference between relative dating and absolute time?
What is Relative dating is determining the order of rock layers with out using any dates and absolute time determines the actual time that events happened using the rocks chemical composition.
100
An animals tracks are an example of what kind of fossil?
What is a Trace Fossil.
200
Describe how respiration and consumption(food chain) are different.
What is respiration is the release of Carbon Dioxide through breathing of plants, animals, and most bacteria, and consumption is animals eating other animals and receiving the carbon from the plants that the animal they ate, ate.
200
What are the formation steps for a igneous rock?
What is molten rock inside the earth or on earths surface that came up from a volcano, that cools and crystallizes to form rocks.
200
What was Alfred Wegener's evidence that the continents shifted?
What is the fit of continents(puzzle pieces), rock type, mountain ranges, and rock age match up across the continents and there are the same plant and animal fossils on different continents and there was tropical evidence near the poles and polar evidence near the equator.
200
Explain the law of superposition.
What is in an undisturbed rock sequence the oldest rock will be at the bottom and the youngest will be at the top.
200
What are the four characteristics of an index fossil?
What is easy to recognize, widespread, the fossil only existed for a short period of time, and it was abundant during that time when it existed.
300
What is the Human impact that using increased amounts of fossil fuels is having on the earth?
What is earth is becoming warmer from all of the Carbon Dioxide getting into the atmosphere. This happens by creating so many factories.
300
What are the formation steps for a sedimentary rock?
What is weathering and erosion, then deposition, then compaction and cementation.
300
What are the three pieces of evidence used to support the movement of the continents?
What is age of the seafloor, sediment thickness, and magnetic reversals.
300
How does the rule of crosscutting apply to an intrusion?
What is the rule of crosscutting says that an intrusion and faults are younger than the rocks they cut through.
300
Which animal is most likely to fossilize? Squid or Shark? Why?
What is Shark because it has a hard bone structure, the Squid would just turn to dust.
400
Give some examples of nonrenewable resources.
What is natural gas, oil, and coal.
400
True or False? An intrusive rock has large crystals that formed slowly from magma inside the earth.
What is True.
400
What is convection and how does material move in convection?(temp.)
What is the circulation of material caused by difference in density. It moves by hot mantle material rising and coming into contact with the earths crust, then as it cools it becomes more dense and sinks forming a convection current.
400
Describe and angular unconformity.
What is a gap between lower layers that have been tilted and now horizontal layers on top.
400
What is the ideal environment for a fossil to form?
What is a place with few scavengers, low energy, high sediment, and a quick burial. Such as the deep ocean or the desert.
500
Name positives and negatives for both renewable and nonrenewable energy resources.
What is renewable is cheaper, causes less pollution, and will never run out but it disrupts habitats, is more expensive to get started and isn't as efficient. While nonrenewable energy isn't as expensive, and easier to transport but there is a limited supply, it causes pollution, and also disturbs habitats.
500
Name some examples of sedimentary rocks.
What is Coquna Shells, Peat Plants,
500
What are the three different types of boundaries and how do they move?
What is Divergent, where the plates move away from each other, Convergent, where the plates toward each other, and Transform, where the plates move side by side.
500
What is the difference between a disconformity and an nonconformity?
What is What is they are both a gap between two layers of sediment but a disconformity is between two layers of sedimentary rock while and nonconformity has sedimentary rock on top and igneous rock on the bottom.
500
What does it mean to correlate rock layers and what do scientists use to help them correlate fossils?
What is putting the layers in order from oldest to youngest based using index fossils and rock type.
