Just for fun: Are chickens cannibals?

Yep. Who knew...

How do oceans impact the creation of a delta?

Oceans slow the river down, which allows sediment to be deposited at the mouth of the river.

Where do you find most organic soil? (top layer of soil or 25 feet under ground)

Top layer

What is C?

Outer Core

What is reverse Erosion?

Putting sediment back from where it came.

Describe the Mantle and it's state of matter.

It is the thickest layer and the state of matter is Plasticity.

__________ is broken up into giant moving plates.

Lithosphere

The fossils deep within the Earth are usually the ______. The fossils closest to the surface are ________.

Oldest, Younger

What is A?

Crust

Faults and volcanoes are often found where?

Near tectonic plate boundaries

How can deforestation and clear-cutting influence erosion?

Without roots holding the soil place, water and wind will erode the top layer of soil.

Ella throws a rock into the ground. The rock breaks into tiny pieces. Scientifically, what did Ella do?

Physically weathered the rock.

Which part of a hurricane will erode away the beach?

Rain, waves, storm surge, wind.

Which came first the chicken or the egg?

The Egg... Duh.

What is B?

Mantle

What contributes most to the development of soil?

Weathering of rock

Which layer of Earth is directly below the lithosphere?

Asthenosphere

Weathered rock forms what natural resource?

Soil

What is D made of?

Solid iron and nickle

The rocks farthest away from the ridge are _________ than the rocks closest to the ridge.

Older

The rocks closest to the ridge are _________ compared to the rocks farther away.

Newer/Younger

Which trilobite appeared First?

Auritimidae

What is the Lithosphere?

Includes the crust and the top of the mantle. Made of giant tectonic plates

What is ice wedging?

water fills the cracks in a rock, the water freezes, and breaks the rock.

What does this picture represent?

Mid-Ocean Ridge

Which of Earth's layer has the lowest density?

Crust

How do fossils give evidence that the continents are drifting apart?

Same species of dinosaur on 2 different continents AND plant fossils in Antarctica

Which trilobite appeared last?

Asaphidae

Plant fossils in Antarctica help to prove what???

That Antarctica at one time had a tropical climate. It was near the equator.
