14
This picture of an alluvial fan demonstrates
how ocean waves can erode beaches
how wind erosion can erode rocks over time
how water can cause eroded sediments to travel downward
that people cause major destruction in nature
15
rock layers are useful
to navigate oceans at night
finding relative dates when organisms extisted
knowing the day an organism died
for identifying exact ages of fossils
16
The Coriolis effect is the curving
of people's hair as it grows on their head
of the ocean and atmospheric currents due to Earth's spin
of streets in the midwest
of a baseball when thrown near Earth
17
Catastrophic events cause changes in Earth's surface quickly, but most of the changes occur
in weeks or months
slowly, over many thousand or even millions of years
several days
even faster
18
weather predictions require information in the form of
plate tectonics, mantle convection currents and flooding
water movement, winds, land forms and ocean temperatures
volcanoes, tsunamis, tornadoes, mountains
ocean life, bird migration, football scores and gum chewing
19
Seafloor spreading is the result of
two plates moving closer to each other
vocanos
uplifting
two plates moving apart from each other
20
Plate motion is responsible for what land mass changes
Fort knox
mountain building
grand canyon
Mountain erosion
21
Moon light comes from where

rain
snow
animal
26
This picture shows
the older strata is closest to the top
how the geologic time scale relates to organisms at the time
the deeper you go the more complex the life forms
rocks are like onions
27
Precipitation of water in our atmosphere occurs when water typically changes from
solid to gas
gas to liquid
solid to magma
liquid to gas
28
What drives the water cycle
Greenhouse affect
Energy from oceans
Energy from the Earth's core
Energy from the Sun
29
Hurricanes are produced due to
uneven heating of the Earth's oceans and atomosphere
the planets mantle
uneven cooling of the Earth's surface
even heating of the Earth's surface
