2They are the 3 major layers that make up the
Earth.
3What are the crust, mantle and core?
4.
- It includes all the water on earth.
5What is the hydrosphere?
6It is the air that surrounds the earths surface.
7What is the atmosphere?
8 - It is the part of the biosphere that contains
earths solid surface and the interior.
9What is the lithosphere
10Oxygen (O2) is to atmosphere as H2O is to this
11 12Life could not survive because Earths atmosphere
was originally this
13What is toxic?
14- It is the theory that Earths surface cracked
into plates millions of years ago and these
plates have been moving and shifting ever since.
15What is Plate tectonics?
16DAILY DOUBLE
DAILY DOUBLE
17It is the organism that is believed to be
responsible for adding oxygen to earths
atmosphere, allowing other life to evolve.
18What is cyanobacteria?
19Place the following in order to describe the
creation of earth
- 1.The earth began to cool.
- 2.Energy heated the new planet to high
temperatures - 3.Earths molten surface hardened into rock.
- 4.Gas and rocky debris circling the sun crashed
together.
204,2,1,3
21It is the name for the part of the earth north of
the equator.
22What is the Northern Hemisphere?
23They are tiny organisms that live in Earths most
harsh or extreme environments
24What are extremophiles?
25It is hot and humid on average. This statement
is a description of an areas ________.
26What is climate?
27It is to atmosphere what water is to hydrosphere.
28What is air?
29Without this part of the biosphere the earths
temperatures would be too hot during the day and
too cold at night to support life.
30What is the atmosphere?
31It is found in the stratosphere and gives some
protection from ultraviolet radiation.
32What is the ozone?
33It is the major driving force for the temperature
of earth. It also supplies most of the earths
energy.
34What is the sun?
35They are the two major climate related factors
that determine where an organism can survive.
36What are temperature average rainfall?
37It is the reason that oobleck is used to
demonstrate the earths asthenosphere.
38What are the properties of solids and liquids?
39They are the 4 the major driving forces that
affect climate and weather.
40 - What is the sun, air movement, the shape of the
land and water content.
41Explain how temperature differences cause air
movement.
42Warm molecules move faster and spread out
becoming less dense so these molecules rise.
Cold molecules move slower and are located closer
together so the air is more dense and sinks.
