What does the expression "This years is last years snow" refer to?
Rain in the spring can sometimes freeze due to unseasonable temperatures
the amount of rain and snow changes due to the changing amount of water that cycles through Earth's atmosphere
Snow consists of water in the frozen state and this water becomes rain when subjected to higher temperatures
then amount of water on earth does not change and is cycled in an unending process despite its changing physical state
The sun activates the water cycle by
condensing water in lakes and rivers
causing weather systems to occur
evaporating water from the surfaces of bodies of water
causing precipitation
Scientists think that Pangaea separated due to
continental drift
climate changes
weathering
glaciers
Of earth's three structural layers, the hottest is
the mantle
the atmosphere
the core
the crust
Earth's lithosphere consists of
toxic gases
a mix of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and oxygen
all the land and water on earth's surface
earth's crust, ocean basin or land beneath the ocean
The main reason for the creation of desalination plants is
to provide freshwater to support human activities
to promote jobs in high-tech industries and decrease agricultural careers
to expand trade exports of excess salt and brine processing
to provide economic stability to undeveloped countries
Which is the result of faulting?
the destruction of undersea mountains as ocean plates slide under continental plates
a cascade of rock and ash the spews forth along tectonic plate boundaries
the sudden earthquake as bent tectonic plates release tension
the slow folding up of mountains as tectonic plates collide
oceanic plates drive under continental plates and melt, sometimes causing magma to rise and form volcanic mountains on land
erosion
accretion
desalination
subduction
the movement of weathered rock by wind, glaciers, and moving water
continental shelf
desalination
erosion
water cycle
the rotation of water from ocean to air to ground and back to the ocean

desalination
the process of removing salt from seawater
desalination
water cycle

erosion
thin layer of gases that surrounds Earth
hydrosphere

atmosphere
Biosphere
the part of the earth where life exists
hydrosphere
accretion

Biosphere
Creates many of earth's physical features through continental drift and magma flow

accretion
atmosphere
Biosphere
All water area of Earth

In the grid system used to map locations on Earth's surface, lines parallel to the Equator are called
longitudinal lines
barometric lines
geometric lines
latitude lines
A reading of 36 degrees North latitude and 140 degrees East longitude provides
a planar projection
a global reckoning
an absolute location
a relative position
In addition to direct observation, geographers gather information through
interviewing, analyzing statistics, and participating in ecotourism
attending cultural events, mapping, and interviewing
mapping, analyzing statistics, and participating in ecotourism
using technology, analyzing statistics, and mapping
When geographers acquire geographic information by direct observation, they
conduct interviews and surveys
look for evidence on the internet
visit a place or use information from remote sensing devices
look at various maps created by cartographers over different time periods
