What are 2 evidences of tectonic activity having occurred at some point in the past? (choose 2 answers below)

The breakdown of rocks into smaller particles is...

The movement and deposit of sediment by forces such as wind, water and ice is called...

A crack in the earth's surface

A "bump" in the earth's crust due to pressure from opposing sides

The theory that changes in the earth's crust during geological history have resulted from the action of continuous and uniform processes (over millions of years)

A large-scale and violent event in the natural world (such as a worldwide flood)

They typical weather in a region over a long period of time

The atmospheric conditions of a location at a specific moment in time

Energy in the form of heat

The primary source of thermal energy is...

Thermal energy is energy in the form of...

Another name for the "Middle Latitudes"

Another name for the "Low Latitudes"

Another name for the "High Latitudes"

The movement of air

This is caused by the heating and cooling of air masses

A large area of moving air with similar temperature (cold or warm)

The temperature point at which water begins condensation

When liquid water absorbs enough thermal energy to change into water vapor

When water vapor loses enough thermal energy, it changes into liquid water, suspended in clouds as water droplets

When the temperature drops, water vapor loses thermal energy, condensation occurs, and the water droplets fall to the earth

Precipitation caused by mountains

Precipitation caused by the meeting of cold and warm air masses

Precipitation caused by the rise of warm air over a hot surface

Term used to describe the rate at which the temperature drops for every 1,000 feet of increase in altitute

The term "arid" means

The effect caused by the combination of the movement of air masses (north and south) along with the rotation (spinning) of the earth on its axis

Prevailing winds in the Tropics

Prevailing winds in the middle latitudes

A region's climate is determined by the amount of thermal energy and ___________ that reaches it. In other words, climate is determined by temperature and ________________ .

A large region where distinct populations of plants and animals are living together

A wasteland located in a cold region

Forest where the trees lose their leaves in the fall
