The way our eyes perceive movement when viewing a map

The tilt of the Earth (Law of Superposition)

Earth's rotation (Coriolis Effect)

The rapid movement of air and water in different directions

They are all caused by the rotation, revolution, and tilt of Earth and the moon.

They all happen due to natural forces from the sun as it shines on Earth.

They are all caused by the force of gravity on Earth and the moon.

They all happen four times a year.

Venus has a gravitational pull on Mercury

Mercury rotates very slowly on its axis

One revolution of Mercury around the sun takes the same time as one rotation on its axis

Mercury revolves very slowly around the Sun

Volcanic eruptions cause different types of weather.

Earth's axis is tilted as it moves around the sun.

The distance between the earth and the sun changes throughout the year

Heat energy from the sun disappears from December to March.

Earth's size

Land animal fossils of the same species were found on continents separated by oceans today.

Satellites have shown that the continents are moving 150 miles each year.

The continents fit together like puzzle pieces.

Earthquakes are creating cracks in Earth's crust.

Renewable resources are naturally replenished in our lifetime.

Fossil fuels are a sustainable natural resource because they can be replenished in a short amount of time.

Examples of renewable energy include wind, sunlight, and moving water.

Fossil fuels take millions of years to form.

As the human population has decreased, deforestation has increased.

As the human population has decreased, deforestation has also decreased.
