On the Surface
Mixed Bag
100
The amount of space that something takes up.
What is volume?
100
The transfer of energy carried in rays like light.
What is radiation?
100
The thinnest and least dense layer of the Earth, made of solid granite and basalt rock ranging from 5-40 km thick.
What is the crust?
100
A feature of topography, such as a hill or valley, formed by the processes that shape Earth's surface.
What is a landform?
100
The equation for density.
What is mass divided by volume?
200
The measurement of the amount of matter (physical substance) found in an object.
What is mass?
200
Heat transfer between two materials (solids) that are touching.
What is conduction?
200
The thickest layer of the earth, roughly 3000 km thick. It is a hot layer of rock subdivided into the lithosphere, asthenosphere, and mesosphere.
What is the mantle?
200
Landform that is a slow-moving mass of ice.
What is a glacier?
200
The 3 major types of landforms.
What are mountains, plateaus, and plains?
300
A tool used to measure the volume of liquids or irregular shaped solids.
What is a graduated cylinder?
300
Heat transfer by the movement of fluids (liquids/gases).
What is convection?
300
The hottest and most dense layer of the Earth, made of solid metal.
What is the inner core?
300
The shape of the land (describes an area's elevation, relief, and landforms).
What is topography?
300
The difference in in height on a mountain called
What is elevation?
400
The amount of mass in a given volume; how tightly packed the matter is in an object.
What is density?
400
The layer of the earth where convection currents circulate heat in the Earth's interior.
What is the mantle?
400
The layer of the earth that is liquid and made of molten metal.
What is the outer core?
400
A landform that forms when sediments are deposited at the mouth of a river.
What is a delta?
400
A representation of something that makes it easier to understand.
What is a scientific model?
500
A property of objects that doesn't depend on the amount of the object present.
Density
500
The layer of the Earth where convection currents cause the Earth's magnetic field.
What is the outer core?
500
Three characteristics that increase as depth increases (as you go farther beneath the surface of the Earth).
What are temperature, pressure, and density?
500
Landform created from windblown sand that is deposited against an obstacle such as grass or rocks and gets trapped, forming a hill.
What is a sand dune?
500
The cause of the flowing convection currents in the mantle
What is heat from the core and mantle? (Hot magma rising and cooler magma sinking creates the currents. Without heat, the currents would stop moving.)
