collection
Fossils of clams and fish were found high in the Himalayan Mountains, far above sea level. What does this suggest about the mountains?
The Earth’s crust that formed these mountains used to be covered by an ocean.
Why do we plant seeds in the topsoil layer (A Horizon)?
It contains a mixture of soil and humus that’s rich in nutrients for plant growth.
Which natural process is MOST responsible for the formation of a cliff by the sea?
erosion
Rainwater mixes with carbon dioxide in the air as it sinks into the ground, turning it into a weak acid. This acidic water dissolves limestone underground and causes a cave to form. This is an example of which type of weathering?
chemical
How do wind and water change rocks over time?
They change the shape of the rocks by removing sediment.
Meg’s teacher asks her to do a scratch test to identify an unknown mineral. Meg discovers that Feldspar can scratch the mineral, but Fluorite cannot scratch it. Which mineral must it be?
apatite
Which three natural processes are happening at point A on this diagram of the rock cycle?
deposition, copaction, & cementation
What changes metamorphic rock into igneous rock?
melting & crystallization
What causes sedimentary rocks to change into metamorphic rock?
heat & pressure
Which geological feature is formed at a convergent boundary between two continental plates?
mountains
Describe how the lithospheric plates move across the surface of the Earth.
The plates are driven by convection currents within the mantle.
Which two layers of Earth are made of hard, rigid material that does not flow?
crust & inner core
Mineral X is non-metallic and shows fracture. Scratch tests determine that its hardness is 7. The mineral is red, but the streak is white. What is mineral X?
garnet
What two factos affect the density of water in ocean currents?
temperature and salinity (salt content)
What is the difference in structure between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere?
The lithosphere is rigid and immovable, and the asthenosphere is hot, soft, and flowing
What is the only type of cloud that causes thunderstorms?
cumulonimbus
Fossils of a dinosaur species have been found in South America and Africa; two continents separated by an ocean. The dinosaur could not swim or fly. What does this suggest about the continents of South America and Africa?
The continents were once connected.
What is the MAIN reason a meteorite is different than a comet?
It has passed through Earth's atmosphere

partial solar eclipse
How is energy from the Sun transferred to Earth's surface?
radiation
Why does the Moon have a greater gravitational pull on Earth's water than the Sun?
The Moon is closer than the Sun
Which two geological events are MOST common along tectonic plate boundaries?
earthquakes & volcanoes
Which force of motion is most responsible for keeping the planets in constant motion?
inertia
How does the Gulf Stream current affect the eastern coast of North America?
It brings warm water and air, keeping the coast from getting too cold during the winter
Factories and sewage treatment plants are two common examples of which type of pollution source?
Point source pollution
Why are fossil fuels considered a nonrenewable resource?
It takes millions of years for them to form, so we use them faster than we can replace them.
Which two processes turn any rock into sediment?
