These are heat-driven cycles that occur in the air, ocean, and mantle. They are caused by a difference in temperature, often due to a differing proximity to a heat source.
(a)
It happens when earth soaks up some water and temporarily stores it underground.
(a)
It is an area of land that channels rainfall and snow melt to creeks, streams, and rivers, eventually leading to outflow points such as reservoirs, bays, and the ocean.
(a)
It is one of the leading causes of water pollution around the world.
(a)
It is an important part of the water cycle because, through this process, much of the water returns again to the oceans, where a great deal of evaporation occurs
(a)
It is an important process where rain water soaks into the ground, into the soil and underlying rock layers. Forming water storage beneath the surface
(a)
One final process is important in the water cycle. As plants absorb water from the soil, the water moves from the roots through the stems to the leaves. What is this process?
(a)
It is the most essential liquid needed by Humans and other species in order to survive.
(a)
As the water moves through the soil and rock layers, many of the impurities in the water are filtered out. Forming what we call the?
(a)
As we all know. Earth’s surface is covered by water. But how much of Earth’s water is Freshwater?
(a)
In Convection current, Hotter mantle rocks rise while cooler rocks sink. The rising and sinking of mantle rocks lead to formation of convection current.
TRUE
FALSE
The plates are constantly moving. The movement causes friction which causes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions near the edges of the plates.
TRUE
FALSE
There is heat inside the earth, but the heat is not evenly distributed. Some parts within the mantle are hotter compared to the parts
TRUE
FALSE
Every continent has an active volcano, But Australia is a country which has the most number of active volcanoes and recorded eruptions.
TRUE
FALSE
The word 'volcano' comes from the island ‘Vulcano’, which is a volcanic island in Italy.
TRUE
FALSE
The asthenosphere is weak enough that relatively little force would be applied to the base of the oceanic lithosphere(Plate) by convecting mantle.
TRUE
FALSE
As the plates move and collide, It creates pressure underneath the crust. This pressure can sometimes cause the mantle to leak out onto the surface of the earth forming a Hill
TRUE
FALSE
The plates are believed to be riding on the currents. The plates drag along as the convection currents slowly circulate.
TRUE
FALSE
Inactive volcano is one which erupted thousands of years ago, more than 10,000, but it will probably never erupt again.
TRUE
FALSE
In ridge push, Magma rises as the plates move apart. The magma cools to form new plate material. As it cools It becomes denser and slides down away from the ridge. This causes other plates to move away from each other
TRUE
FALSE
There are less than 500 active volcanoes on Earth. There are also more than 10 volcanoes under the ocean, although these are just the ones that have been discovered.
TRUE
FALSE
In Slab pull, The denser plate sinks(Subducts) back into the mantle under the influence of gravity. It pulls the rest of the plate along behind it.
TRUE
FALSE
Nearly 80% of the world's volcanoes are situated around the Atlantic Ocean.
TRUE
FALSE
Convection current is enough to drive the plate. Specifically the Oceanic plates.
TRUE
FALSE
Mt. Arayat is one example of an active volcano.
TRUE
FALSE
