QuestionAnswer
What's the scientific method Question, Research, Hypothesis, Experiment, Data Analysis, Conclusion, and Communication.
Hydrosphere The total, continuous body of water found on, under, and above the surface of Earth, encompassing all liquid and frozen water, groundwater, and atmospheric water vapor
Earth systems interactions Earth's systems constantly interact through interconnected cycles, transferring energy and matter, like water evaporating from oceans into the air as clouds, then falling as rain that nourishes plants and erodes rock
Atmosphere providing breathable oxygen, regulating temperatures via the greenhouse effect, and shielding the surface from harmful solar UV radiation
Biosphere Serves as Earth's, self-regulating life-support system, connecting all living organisms (biota) with the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere
Geosphere The solid Earth system, comprising its core, mantle, and crust, along with all rocks, minerals, and soils that make up the planet's physical structure
Geologic Time Scale A system of chronological dating (spanning 4.56 billion years) that relates geological strata to time, divided into Eons, Eras, Periods, and Epochs based on major geological and biological events
What are the Eons Hadean, Archean, Proterozic, and Phanerozic
What are the Era's Paleozoic , Mesozoic , and Cenozoic
What are the periods Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous (Missisipian and Pensilvanian), Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous , and Paleogene, Neogene, Quaternary
Scientific estimate of the age of the Earth 4.54 billion years old
Principle of Uniformitarianism (Sir James Hutton) Natural geological processes observed today—such as erosion, sedimentation, and volcanic action—have operated similarly throughout Earth's history ("the present is the key to the past")
