| Solar Power | Disadvantage: Clouds |
| Faults, Earthquakes, Volcanoes | Plate Boundaries |
| Folding and faulting | collision of plates |
| Collision of two continental plates | mountains |
| Foliated | Metamorphic banded rocks |
| fool's gold | Pyrite |
| High Pressure | H, clear skys, colder air |
| hardness | nail, penny, knife |
| Heat and Pressure | Metamorphic rock |
| Humus | Organic material in top layer of soil |
| L | Low pressure, clouds and rain, warmer air |
| large crystals | slow cooling magma |
| limestone | once at the bottom of ocean, now caves |
| mechanical weathering | break rocks |
| melting ice caps | climate change |
| CO2 | Climate change, greenhouse gas |
| metamorphic rock | heat and pressure |
| igneous rock | melting and cooling |
| Lava cools quick | extrusive igneous rock (small crystals) |
| magma cools slowly | intrusive igneous rock (large crystals) |
| Nebula | Star Nursery, cloud of dust and gas |
| nonrenewable | long period of time to form |
| Organic matter | humus |
| plate boundaries | faults, earthquakes, volcano |
| preserved ancient remains | mostly sedimentary rock but could rarely be volcanic ash |
| Pyrite | fool's gold |
| freshwater | rivers, springs, aquifer |
| Rocks lack crystals | lava cooled too quickly |
| seasons | 23.5 tilt of axis |
| seawater denser | higher salinity (more salt) |
