Answers
1
what is weathering?
when rock is physically broken into smaller pieces.
none of the above
chemical & physical processes that break down rock surface's
the climate of the earth
2
what are the different types of precipitation?
hail
rain
sleet
all of the above
3
what is sedimentary rock?
formed from heat and pressure
formed from lava and magma
formed from compaction and compression
4
what is the difference between weather and climate?
they are the same
weather happens in the sky, climate happens underground
weather's is short, climate is over a long time
weather's the temp. and climate is the natural disasters
5
what are the weather instrument used to measure?
wind speed
all of the above
temperature
air pressure
6
what is a earthquake?
sudden and violent shaking of the ground causing destruction
an giant wave
a big wind causing lots of destruction
a storm
7
what are trade winds?
wind caused by tornadoes
Fast wind blowing north from high pressure to low pressure
wind that form form a fire
Winds after a hurricane
8
what are tectonic plates?
bodies of water
continents
layers of the earth
Huge pieces of lithosphere that slowly move on the crust
9
what are the main driving forces of the tectonic plates?
Slab pull(force in seduction zones)
ridge rushing(force at the spreading ridges)
convection in the mantle(heat driven)
all of the above
10
at what boundaries of volcano's formed?
convergent boundary
transform boundary
divergent boundary
11
what is a igneous rock?
formed form heat and pressure
formed from lava and magma
formed from compaction and compression
12
what is it called when a continental plate converges with an oceanic plate?
none of the above
continental zone
convergent zone
subduction zone
13
what is the theory of tectonic plates?
all of the above
that the tectonic plates are shifting earth's mantle
the outer shell is divided into several plates
that the plates are going to causing earthquakes
14
what is a transform boundary?
a boundary when two plates move together
a boundary when two plates move horizontally
a boundary when 2 plates stay the same over a long time
a boundary when two plates move away from each other
15
what is deposition?
earth materials deposited by erosion
all of the above
none of the above
sediment is laid down in new locations
16
what is erosion?
a process of being eroded by wind, water, or natural agents
when something is moved
when a volcano erupts
when something disappears
17
what is metamorphic rock?
formed form heat and pressure
formed from compaction and compression
formed from lava and magma
18
parts that are in the water cycle?
condensation
evaporation
precipitation
all of the above
19
what is a weather forecast?
a statement telling what the weather will be the next day
a bad job
looking at maps of previous weather
someone telling what is happening in the world
20
what are isobars?
lines on the map
bars showing where the ice is located in the world
a line connecting points, same amount of pressure over time
bars of wind
21
where do hurricanes form?
on the land
none of the above
on the ocean
by wind
22
what are the main layers of earth?
the core
all of the above
crust
mantle
23
in what sphere of earth does weather happen in?
mesosphere
lithosphere
troposphere
stratosphere
24
what is created by a divergent boundary?
a new crust is created in between them
nothing
sea-floor spreading
earthquakes
25
what us a hurricane?
none of the above
a storm with a violent wind
all of the above
earthquakes that form winds
26
how do thunderstorms form?
when smokey air moves to the atmosphere
warm moist air floats upward into Columbus clouds.
after tornadoes
None of the above
27
what type of fault is created by a transform boundary?
none of the above
continental fault
transform fault
divergent fault
28
what is a drought?
a flood
a time with low rain that can lead to a shortage of water
lots of rain
all of the above
29
what is air pressure?
the weight of air molecules pressing down on earth
wind
the amount of air in the sky
the distance wind can travel
30
what are 3 main types of evidence for the tectonic plates?
responsible for events volcanic activity, earthquakes, etc.
several big plates that slowly move rocks of earth's surface
the plates move in a number of different directions
all of the above
31
what is a rock cycle?
the processes undergone by rocks in the earth's crust
when rocks get compact and compressed
when rocks get pushed together by heat and pressure
all of the above
32
what is created when two continental plates coverage?
water
rock
nothing
magma
33
what us a divergent boundary?
when two tectonic boundaries move away from each other
when two tectonic plates move upward
when two tectonic plates collide
between the land and the water
34
what is a fossil?
all of the above
any preserved remains of a animals
impression of animals form the past
any once-living thing from a past geological age
35
what is a convergent boundary?
the boundary of the continents
when two plates go past each other
when two plates glide apart from each other
when two plates meet together and push against each other
36
how do hurricanes form?
by big fires
