8
The last step of the scientific method is
to write all your data and results in a notebook
to communicate your results and analysis

10
The core provides a magnetic field through
the movement of iron in the outer core
the solid core
it doesn't provide a magnetic field, it comes from the sun
11
The valence shell is trying to get to
8 protons and changing elements
8 neutrons and becoming neutral charged
8 electrons and becomes more reactive
8 electrons so the shell is full and less reactive
12

Pacific Belt and Ocean Belt
13
Hydrosphere includes
only the water vapor in the air
The complete water cycle
Fresh water
Ocean water and rivers
14
A valence electron
the valence atom
an electron that transfers from one atom to another
an electron that turns positive
is a number of electrons in the outer shell
15
What happens if the earth is a flattened sphere
The water would cover the entire earth's surface
the mountains would go down into the plains
The oceans would drain into the trenches
the oceans would drain into the core
16

streak, color, hardness, luster
17
If a hypothesis fails I must
discard the hypothesis
change my experiment till it works
decide what went wrong in the experiment
give it to another scientist to check your work
18

can be reproduced by others
cannot be reproduced in a short time
cannot be used
24
What is the difference between historical and physical geology
They are both the exact same
They are both complete opposites
Historical Geology does not follow the scientific method
Physical Geology can tell us all about the history of earth
25
Earth is a system because
there are multiple interacting parts that act as a whole
the sun is the only source of heat
The core is the only source of heat
because life makes the earth go around
