The Phases of the moon are created by
The moon moving around Earth
The sun moving around Earth
The Earth rotating on it's axis
The Earth revolving around the Sun
The Sun and the planets are attracted to each other by what force?
Magnetic Force
Nuclear Force
Gravitational Force
Solar Force
All of the planets in our solar system revolve around which celestial object
The Moon
The Earth
The Sun
The Universe
Earth has four distinct seasons due to...
The changing distance of Earth from the Sun
Changes in gravitational force
Earth being tilted on its axis
Gravitational Forces
In the picture below, what season is the Northern Hemisphere experiencing/
Winter
Summer
Places near the equator are warmer because
Solar energy is attracted to the Earth's core
The equator receives DIRECT sunlight
Solar winds travel faster to the Equator
The o-zone is weaker near the equator.
When looking above the northern hemisphere, all planets rotate which direction?
Which planet below revolves around the sun the fastest?
Venus
Jupiter
Saturn
Neptune
What is the ratio for REFLECTION on a flat surface
2:1
1:2
1:1
1:0
Why do we see Rainbows when its raining?
The drops of rain are in different colors.
The raindrops act like prisms and separate the colors
The clouds are formed by sunlight
Rainbows occur only during the day
Which color of light has the longest wavelength?
Violet
Blue
Yellow
Red
Which color of light has the shortest wavelength?
Violet
Blue
Yellow
Red
Sound travels fasted through
Gas
Liquid
Solids
Sound travels slowest through
Gas
Liquid
Solids
How is Yellow light different from blue light?
They are made from different types of light energy
They come from different areas of the universe
They have different wavelengths
They travel at different speeds.
Deep ocean water is colder and has higher salinity because...
It has higher pressure
Less sunlight
Ice caps in the Antarctic
Earth's cold inner core
The ozone protects the earth from
Moisture
Clouds
Ultra Violet Radiation (UV Rays)
Heat
Which answer below best describes the relationship between warm air and cold air?
Warm air has a lower density and rises above cold air
Warm air has a higher density and falls below cold air
Convection currents are caused by
Warm material rising and cold material falling
Cold material rising and warm material falling
Which answer below best describes how the sun drives the water cycle
The Sun's radiation turns water into vapor which evaporates
The water vapor rises and cools in the atmosphere as clouds
When clouds collect enough water vapor they precipitate
This precipitation falls onto the Earth's surface.
The Greenhouse effect is best described as
The Sun's radiation being trapped in the atmosphere by CO2
A way to grow plants during the winter
The theory of how the continents drifted apart.
The created of the lunar cycle.
Deep ocean currents are caused by
Cold water sinking because of its high density
The gravitational pull of the moon
Water evaporating
The rotation of the Earth
The continental drift and seafloor spreading are parts of which theory below
Plate Tectonics
Heliocentric
Deep Ocean Currents
Volcanoes
During the time that Pangea existed, what was Earth's ocean like?
One BIG ocean
Several small oceans
Similar to the ocean today
The was no ocean
What evidence below supports the theory of Pangea and Continental Drift
The Continents fit together and the same fossils being found.
Human tools being found
Maps drawn by early man
The temperature of the Earth
Sedimentary Rock is created by
Heat and Pressure deep below the Earth's surface
Melting, cooling, and hardening
Weathering and erosion and collection in streams, rivers, and oceans.
Metamorphic Rock is created by
Heat and Pressure deep below the Earth's surface
Melting, cooling, and hardening
Weathering and erosion and collection in streams, rivers, and oceans.
Inside of the Earth's mantle which process is responsible for moving the tectonic plates
Convection
