SCIENCE 1090 CU 2

Name:

Name one phenomenon other than volcanic eruptions and earthquakes that provide a release for some of the heat energy that is accumulating within Earth?

• Geysers
• Erosion
• Tidal Wave
• Disasters

Please choose the correct statement:

• A geyser results when the extra cold steam find its way to Earth's surface.
• A geyser results when there is no more outlet for the wind to go through.
• A geyser results when the natural steam find its way to Earth's surface.
• A geyser results when the cold wind find its way to Earth's surface.
• A geyser results when the pressure is loosen and the temperature is below zero degrees.

What is produced when a natural steam is collected and used to spin turbine blades, which spin an electric generator?

• lightning
• thunderstorm
• electricity
• geyser

What kind of power is helping meet the world's rising electrical needs?

• People's power
• Geothermal power
• Electrical Power
• Hydro Power

What can cause the energy build up in the lithosphere?

• stagnant property in the isostasy of Earth's lithospheric plates.
• change in the magnitude of Earth's lithospheric plates.
• change in the isostasy of Earth's lithospheric plates.
• no movement in the isostasy of Earth's lithospheric plates.

Please choose the correct statement:

• Isostasy is the force of the Earth's atmospheric plates on the flexible rock of the mantle.
• Isostasy is the magnetic force of the Earth's lithospheric plates on the flexible rock of the mantle.
• Isostasy is the balance of Earth's lithospheric plates on the flexible rock of the mantle.
• Isostasy is the movement of the Earth's atmospheric plates on the flexible rock of the mantle.

Please choose the correct statement:

• As erosion occurs, that portion of Earth's atmosphere becomes thinner, lighter, or less dense.
• As erosion occurs, that portion of Earth's lithosphere becomes, thicker, harder, and more dense.
• As erosion occurs, that portion of Earth's lithosphere becomes thinner, lighter, or less dense.
• As erosion occurs, that portion of Earth's lithosphere becomes normal and no changes.

What is formed when gravity pulls surface rock and dirt down into an empty underground pocket?

• cave
• tunnel
• volcano
• sinkhole

Name some of the ways where scientists used in measuring the intensity of an earthquake?

• the value of the property damaged and number people get evacuated.
• the value of the property damaged one side of the area.
• amount of property damaged and number of people killed.
• amount of property recovered and number of people saved.
