Soil	Earth's Layers	How Earth was made	Atmosphere	Weather
100 What is the process through which soil is formed? Weathering	100 What are the layers of the Earth? Inner core, outer core, lower mantle, middle mantle, upper mantle, oceanic crust, continental crust	100 How was the Earth made? The Earth was made from gas particles pulled in by gravity, eventually binding together and forming our Earth's layers and the Earth itself	100 What are the layers of the atmosphere? Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere	100 What is the difference between climate and weather? Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a specific place and time but climate is at a specific place and long-term
200 What are the soil types? Sand, Silt, Clay	200 What are convection currents? The flow of molten rock in the mantle of the Earth	200 Who is Alfred Wegener? He was a meteorologist who created the theory of Continental Drift and discovered that the continents were once Pangea	200 Which layer does weather happen in? Troposphere	200 What is albedo? The ability of surfaces to reflect sunlight
300 What are the properties and textures of the 3 soil types? Sand: Coarse, water passes through Silt: Fine, smooth Clay: Soft, water is held	300 What is the state of matter of the inner core? Solid	300 Describe the theory of Continental Drift. The continents we know today were all in one (Pangea) but got seperated due to the tectonic plates they laid on shifting and moving to where they are now	300 What is the ozone layer? A part of the stratosphere that acts as protection against the suns rays and heat	300 What makes the planet go through seasons? The Earth's tilt causes more northern latitudes to experience colder weather and the opposite for southern latitudes and does the same with seasons with rotation
400 What is this type of soil? 22% sand, 8% clay, and 70% silt Silt Loam	400 What is the state of matter of the outer core? Liquid	400 Describe the three types of interactions between tectonic plates? Divergent: Plates move away from each other Convergent: Plates move towards each other Transform: Plates slide past each other (lateral fault)	400 What layer is closest to space? Exosphere	400 What is the rain shadow effect? When air is forced upward by mountains and it cools, expands and is turned into rain, causing one side of a mountain to have more vegetation or snow than another
500 What are agricultural practices that have a negative impact on soil health? Spraying the soil with herbicides and pesticides Tilling Monocropping	500 What is the inner core made of? Mostly iron, nickel alloy	500 How does tectonic plate theory explain earthquakes and volcanoes? When the plates move, they can move against each other or away each other and this can cause land to form volcanoes and trenches and when they move is what causes earthquakes because it shakes the ground.	500 What is the hottest layer? Thermosphere	500 What causes and effects of climate change are there? Causes: Ozone holes, excess of greenhouse gases, pollution Effects: Overall global warming, extreme weather/natural disasters, droughts
