Just for fun: Are chickens cannibals?

Yep. Who knew...

Weathered rock forms what natural resource?

Soil

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.

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

Oldest, Younger

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

Top layer

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

Newer/Younger

What does this picture represent?

Mid-Ocean Ridge

Describe the Mantle and it's state of matter.

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

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.

Plant fossils in Antarctica help to prove what???

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

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

Older

What is ice wedging?

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

Which layer of Earth is directly below the lithosphere?

Asthenosphere

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

Physically weathered the rock.

What is reverse Erosion?

Putting sediment back from where it came.

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 came first the chicken or the egg?

The Egg... Duh.

What contributes most to the development of soil?

Weathering of rock

What is C?
