DOUBLE
JEOPARDY
This is the altitude where dew point
equals air pressure and where clouds
form.
Condensation Level
This is a gas made up of three atoms
of Oxygen, found in the upper
Stratosphere, and absorbs UV
radiation.
Ozone
This is the type of cloud made of
ice crystals and resembling the
tail of a horse.
Cirrus (Mares’ Tails)
This is the temperature at which
condensation first appears.
Dew Point
This is the maximum amount of
water vapor a certain volume of air
can hold at a particular temperature.
Saturation Value
This is a flat-topped underwater
seamount.
Guyot
This is the measure of the amount
of salts dissolved in seawater.
Salinity
This occurs when sea level rises and
causes the shoreline to move inland.
Transgression
These are rapidly flowing ocean
currents that can cut deep-sea
canyons in the continental slope.
Turbidity Currents
This is the branch of earth science
dealing with the Earth’s oceans.
Oceanography
These are dark-colored igneous
rocks that are rich in iron and
magnesium.
Mafic
This is the partially molten, plasticlike layer of the Earth located below
the solid part of the mantle.
Asthenosphere
This is the difference in elevation
between adjacent contour lines.
Contour Interval
This is the movement of weathered
material from one place to another.
Erosion
This is Wegener’s hypothesis that
Earth’s continents were joined as a
single landmass 200 million years
ago.
Continental Drift
This type of chemical bond holds
together atoms of opposite charges.
Ionic Bond
This is molten rock found beneath
the surface of the Earth.
Magma
This is the instrument that measures
an earthquakes’s waves.
Seismograph
This is the soil texture which is a
combination of equal parts sand, silt,
and clay.
Loam
Mt. Kilauea, which erupts mostly
fluid lava nonexplosively, is this
type of volcano.
Shield Cone
The tails of a comet always point
this direction.
Away from the Sun
This element, along with Helium,
makes up most of Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus, and Neptune.
Hydrogen
Large size, rapid rotation, and many
moons and rings would all be
characterized by this type of planet.
Jovian (Outer) Planet
This results when Earth’s orbit
intersects a comet’s orbit.
Meteor Shower
This is interplanetary material that
enters the Earth’s atmosphere and
collides with the ground rather than
burning up.
Meteorite
