Front

What determines the strength of a sea breeze?

Back

The strength of a sea breeze depends on the difference between the temperature of the sea and the land.

Front

What happens to light waves when they interact with an object?

Back

When interacting with an object, light waves will slow down. If they enter at an angle, they bend (diffraction).

Front

What is required for igneous rock to form?

Back

Igneous rock forms when sediments are melted.

Front

What geological process led to the formation of the Grand Canyon?

Back

The Grand Canyon formed due to weathering.

Front

What processes must occur for igneous rock to become sedimentary rock?

Back

Weathering and erosion are required for igneous rock to become sedimentary rock.

Front

Define weathering in geological terms.

Back

Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks and minerals into smaller pieces.

Front

What is erosion?

Back

Erosion is the process by which soil and rock are removed from one location and transported to another.

Front

Explain the difference between weathering and erosion.

Back

Weathering breaks down rocks in place, while erosion involves the movement of those broken materials.

Front

What is the role of magma in the formation of igneous rocks?

Back

Magma must cool and solidify to form igneous rocks.

Front

What is the significance of temperature differences in sea breezes?

Back

Temperature differences between land and sea create pressure differences, leading to wind movement.
