Environmental Science Ch 3 Test Jeopardy Template

Atmosphere	Geosphere	Hydropshere	Random 1	Random 2
200 What are the gases that take up Earth's atmosphere? And what is the most abundant? Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Oxygen, Greenhouse gases; Nitrogen	400 What do seismic waves do for scientists? Help them learn about the Earth's interior by measuring speed and distance	500 What is the continuous water into the air, onto land, and then back into the water sources? and explain Water cycle- Evaporation- liquid water is heated by the sun and rises into the atmosphere as water vapor, condensation, water vapor sticks together and creates large droplets, precipitation- large droplets fall as rain, snow, sleet, or hail	400 Why are the Pacific and Atlantic divided into North and South? North of the equator currents go clockwise and south of the equator currents go counter clockwise	400 What is four components of the Earth's system? Geosphere, Atmosphere, Hydropshere, Biosphere
400 What are the four layers of the Earth's atmosphere? Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere	100 What are the 3 compositional layers of the Earth? Crust, Mantle, Core	200 What is the single large, interconnectdd body of water and how big is it? World Ocean, 70%	500 What determines the weather we experience on Earth? Air moving, absorbing radiation, gases trapping heat, or movement of water? Air moving through the atmosphere	100 What is the scale used to measure earthquakes? Richter scale
100 What is the ozone layer? Where is it located? 3 Oxygen atoms, absorbs UV light, in the stratosphere	500 What are the five physical layers of the Earth? Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Mesosphere, Outer Core, Inner Core	100 What is the largest ocean? Pacific	100 What compositional layer do we live on? Crust	200 What can happen during a volcanic eruption? Change Earth's temperature and climate
500 What are the 3 ways energy from the sun is transferred to Earth's atmosphere and describe it Radiation- transfer of energy, conduction- flow of heat from a warmer object to a colder object, convection- transfer of heat	300 What are tectonic plates? Divided into pieces in the lithosphere and glide across asthenosphere	400 What are openings in the ocean floor where super-hot rich mineral water streams into the ocean? and what do they stream out of? Hydrothermal vents; Chimneys	200 What physical layer do we live on? Lithosphere	300 What is erosion? Removal and transport of surface material by wind and water
300 What is the process where gases in our atmosphere trap heat and radiate heat near the Earth and what are these gases? Greenhouse gases- water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide	200 What are plate boundaries? Between tectonic plates where the plates move away from each other, slip past each other, or collide and cause earthquakes, mountains, volcanoes, or islands	300 What are stream like movements of water that occur at or near the surface of the ocean? And how are they moved? Surface currents; Wind	300 What layer of the atmosphere do we live in? Troposphere	500 What are the 5 oceans? Pacific Atlantic Indian Arctic Antarctic
