25 Questions

1. Topsoil - Subsoil - Parent rock - Bedrock

2. Are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on Earth; moon has greater effect on the tides because its closer than the sun

3. As plates move - strain is placed on the lithosphere. Due to the ridgity of the lithosphere - stress is built up until rocks move or brak - producing a fault. As the rocks break - energy is released in the form of waves. These waves move through the

4. Raising and lowering of the water level

5. When the moon and sun are pulling at perpendicular angles; less extreme tides

6. Water falling to the Earth; cloud droplets become to heavy. They fall - the effect is percipitation (rain - snow - sleet - hail)

7. Chunks of rocks that strike a planet

8. Refers to the vast periods of time over which the Earth changes

9. From fire (ignite) the formation of igneous rocks occurs when hot molten rock cools or solidifies. Igneous rock can be produced deep in the Earth from magma or on the surface of the Earth from lava

10. Gas becomes a liquid vapor rises into air and cools. Water vapor (gas) changes into liquid water (clouds)

11. Begin as huge clouds of dust and other particles; they form from the gravitational collapse of a diffuse interstellar cloud

12. Water that goes into the ground

13. Area of volcanoes surrounding the Pacific plate. The subduction plate movement causes the production of volcanoes. Westcoast of the US and the East Coast of Asia

14. Huge clusters of billions of stars

15. Arctic Air pushes down causing colder water (Pacific Coast) - Tropical Air comes up from the Gulf stream causing warmer water (Coast of Florida)

16. When the moon and sun are in alignment; both working to pull on Earth; extreme tides

17. Igneous (burning molten rock magma turns to lava when it reaches the surface - hardens very quickly causing imperfections) ex. granite - Metamorphic (baked by pressure underground) ex. diamond (pure) - Sedimentary - ex. sand - sandstone

18. Barometer measures...

19. Carbonization (carbon dioxide) - Hydration - Oxidation (rust)

20. My very educated mama just served us nachos - Mercury - Venus - Earth - Mars - Jupiter - Saturn - Uranus - Neptune

21. Occur when the shadow of the Earth or Moon is cast onto the other body

22. Compression of biological matter (dead organic matter) - beneath layers of sedimentary rock; hydrocarbon compound such as coal - natural gas - or petroleum

23. Chunks of rocks and ice

24. Hot water rises and takes particles with it - causing...

25. Transforms into an adult star - as the star converts its fuel into more massive elements and compounds - it becomes denser
