| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Processes in the water cycle | Evaporation, condensation, precipitation. |
| When the sun hits the equator directly | Equinox |
| The interaction of forces and materials on Earth which include the 4 spheres known as | The Earth's systems |
| This extends from deep in the ocean and high in the air and includes all plant and animal life | Biosphere |
| The earths tilt | 23.5 |
| Theories that explain the movement of continents over time | Plate tectonics, continental drift |
| Water can endanger life through | fog, floods, and storms |
| The name given to the supercontinent was | pangea |
| The layer in the atmosphere that is gas and protects us from harmful solar radiation | Ozone |
| Earth's mantle is covered by a solid, outer layer called | Crust |
| Objects in a solar system move in a (blank) path | Elliptical |
| The Earth takes 365 1/4 days to complete | revolution |
| Triangle shaped area of land usually by the mouth of a larger body of water | delta |
| If magma breaks through the Earth's crust it's called | Lava |
| The process where rocks are broken down into smaller pieces | weathering |
| The process which water transforms from gas into tiny after droplets | condensation |
| Area where plates interact with one another | Subduction zone |
| This is a line of latitude at 66.5 North of the equator, and it circle the north pole | Arctic circle |
| These are small streams created by runoff in high elevation | Headwaters |

| Snow, sleet, hail, or rain is all types of | precipitation |
| A smaller river which empties into a larger river is a... | tributary |
| A sudden, violent movement along a fracture within Earth's crust and resulting in shocks are... | earthquakes |
| Large landmasses on Earth are known as | primary landforms |
| The movement of rocky materials usually by water | erosion |
| Enourmeaus rock masses raised by Earth's forces | continents |
| Type of plate tectonic going inward | Convergent |
| Type of plate tectonic going outward | divergent |
| Type of plate tectonic going up and down | Transform |
| Atmosphere | gases in air |
| Lithosphere | rocky layer |
| Hydrosphere | water on earth |
| Biosphere | life of earth |
| cryosphere | ice on earth |
| Anthroposphere | Human change on earth |
