  • Two plates that are moving away from each are on a convergent plate boundary. (True/False?)
    FALSE. FALSE. Two plates that are moving away from each are on a divergent plate boundary.
  • An energy source that is being used faster than it can be remade is known as ___________ energy. (renewable or non-renewable?)
    Non-renewable energy
  • The increase in global temperature is known as ________. (climate change or global warming?)
    global warming
  • What information does the graph tell us? Is the sea level decreasing, increasing, or staying the same over time?
    The sea level is increasing over time.
  • Fossils are found in sedimentary rocks. (True/False?)
    TRUE. Fossils are found in sedimentary rocks.
  • How are sedimentary rocks formed? What processes need to take place?
    Weathering and erosion cause sediments to form which are then deposited, compacted, and cemented together to form sedimentary rock.
  • Convection currents are found in the mantle and the outer core. (True/False?)
    TRUE
  • What type of rock is formed through the process of heat and pressure? (Hint: this type of rock will often have wavy lines)
    metamorphic rock
  • What are the 4 layers of the Earth? Start with the outermost (surface layer) and work your way towards the center of the Earth.
    Crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core
  • What happens to temperature and pressure when you move closer towards the center of the Earth? (increase, decrease or stay the same?)
    Temperature and pressure increases as you move towards the center of the Earth.
  • Coal, oil, and natural gas are three types of fossil fuels. We are burning these fossil fuels a lot faster than they can be made. This is an example of ________ energy. (renewable or non-renewable?)
    Non-renewable energy
  • What do the convection currents in the outer core produce? (Hint: it helps make compasses work)
    The convection currents in the outer core are responsible for creating Earth’s magnetic field.
  • What do we call the circular movements in the mantle that are responsible for moving pieces of Earth’s crust?
    convection currents
  • They emit less greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, they cause less damage to the environment, and you can use them over and over again. These are all (advantages/disadvantages) of using (renewable/non-renewable) energy.
    They are all advantages of using renewable energy.
  • What scientist came up with the theory of continental drift?
    Alfred Wegener
  • When you wake up in the morning to check to see if it’s cloudy or rainy outside, you are checking the _______. (climate or weather?)
    Weather
  • What do we call the supercontinent that existed ~250 million years ago?
    Pangaea
  • Human activities are causing rapid climate change. (True/False?)
    TRUE. Human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation are causing rapid climate change.
  • Two tectonic plates are crashing into each other and one sinks below the other to create a subduction zone. What type of plate boundary forms a subduction zone? (convergent, divergent, or transform?)
    Convergent plate boundary
  • What is the only liquid layer of the Earth?
    the outer core
  • Describe the greenhouse effect.
    The natural process of Earth’s atmosphere trapping heat from the sun.
  • What type of rock is pictured in position 1?
    Igneous rock
  • Name the 3 types of plate boundaries.
    divergent plate boundary, convergent plate boundary, and transform plate boundary
  • Rocks are made of minerals. (True/False?)
    TRUE. Rocks are made of minerals.
