200 Answer Earths Seasons
Summer Direct
16
300 Question Earths Seasons
Explain why it is always hot at the equator
17
300 Answer Earths Seasons
Sun always hits the Earth directly
18
400 Question Earths Seasons
What is the difference between direct and
indirect light?
19
400 Answer Earths Seasons
Direct light is concentrated and strong, while
indirect light is spread out and weak
20
500 Question Earths Seasons
Why do the Northern Hemisphere and Southern
Hemisphere experience different seasons at the
same time?
21
500 Answer Earths Seasons

• One hemisphere is always tilted toward the Sun
  and the other is tilted away

22
100 Question Plate Tectonics
What are the names of the three plate boundaries?
23
100 Answer Plate Tectonics
Divergent Transform Convergent
24
200 Question Plate Tectonics
Contrast how plates move in a divergent and
convergent boundary.
25
200 Answer Plate Tectonics
Divergent plates move away Convergent plate
move together
26
300 Question Plate Tectonics
What are the three landforms created at a
convergent boundary?
27
300 Answer Plate Tectonics
Volcanoes, Trenches, Mountains
28
400 Question Plate Tectonics
The deepest point in the worlds ocean is 6 miles
below sea level (thats 29,000 ft!!!) and happens
to be at a plate boundary. Explain how this
point was formed.
29
400 Answer Plate Tectonics
Ocean plate sinks below a continental plate,
causing a deep hole (convergent boundary)
30
500 Question Plate Tectonics
Explain how a volcano is formed in this diagram
31
500 Answer Plate Tectonics
Ocean plate sinks below continental plate. Plate
melts and hot magma rises to form a volcano.
32
100 Question Weathering
What type of weathering causes material to
breakdown without changing the material?
33
100 Answer Weathering
Mechanical
34
200 Question Weathering

• Water
• Ice
• Plant roots

36
300 Question Weathering


Describe the difference between chemical and
mechanical weathering.
37
300 Answer Weathering
Chemical weathering changes the material into
something new, while mechanical weathering only
breaks material down into smaller pieces
38
400 Question Weathering
Describe what kind of weathering is occurring in
this picture.
39
400 Answer Weathering
Chemical weathering air is reacting with rock
40
500 Question Weathering
Give an example of how water can cause chemical
weathering
41
500 Answer Weathering
