Name: ________________________________ Grade Earth Science Core Vocabulary Instructions: This vocabulary sheet is very unique because our vocabulary is unique compared to other science classes. The words will either need to be defined or explained. For example, you can easily look up the definition for hydrosphere (combined mass of water in and around planet Earth), but other words such as Theory of Plate Tectonics, don’t have a specific definition, so you need to explain what it is. For the Theory of Plate Tectonics you could put something like this: “current theory that explains how the plates on the Earth have moved over time.” Then, you need to list the evidence we have for the theory (no, I am not giving you this one, look it up!). Lastly, you will need to explain why this vocabulary word is important to those studying Earth Science. Yes, you need to actually think about this even if you hated my guts and hated science. Trust me, it is good for you! Also, be warned, that I will not take sappy, crappy answers. Saying “because it is” or “because I love Earth Science” or “because my teacher said so” are not going to give you any points. 9th Word Definition or Explanation If a Theory, List the Evidence Adhesion Air Masses Asthenosphere Atmosphere Big Bang Theory Biosphere 1 Picture Importance to Earth Science Word Definition or Explanation If a Theory, List the Evidence Carbon Cycle Carbon Dioxide Climate Climate Change (List the evidence we have that climate change is happening) Cohesion Cold Front Condensation Continental Drift Theory Convection Currents (Both Mantle and Outer Core) 2 Picture Importance to Earth Science Word Definition or Explanation If a Theory, List the Evidence Convergent Boundary Coriolis Effect Cosmic Background Radiation Dam Divergent Boundary Earth Resources Earth’s Core Earth’s Crust Earth’s Mantle 3 Picture Importance to Earth Science Word Definition or Explanation If a Theory, List the Evidence Earthquakes El Nino Evaporation Feedback Loops Fossil Fuels Geosphere Greenhouse Effect Groundwater Heavy Elements 4 Picture Importance to Earth Science Word Definition or Explanation If a Theory, List the Evidence High Pressure System Hot Spots Hurricane Hydrosphere Inner Core Lithosphere Lithospheric Plate Low Pressure System Mass Movement 5 Picture Importance to Earth Science Word Definition or Explanation If a Theory, List the Evidence Mesosphere Mid-Ocean Ridges Milky Way Galaxy Natural Hazards Nebular Theory Occluded Front Ocean Ocean Currents Outer Core 6 Picture Importance to Earth Science Word Definition or Explanation If a Theory, List the Evidence Ozone Paleomagnetism Photic Zone Precipitation Prevailing Westerlies Red-Shift Runoff Salinity Sea-Floor Spreading (List evidence) 7 Picture Importance to Earth Science Word Definition or Explanation If a Theory, List the Evidence Seismic Waves Solar System Stationary Front Stratosphere Theory Of Plate Tectonics Thermal Pollution Tornadoes Trade Winds Transform Boundary 8 Picture Importance to Earth Science Word Definition or Explanation If a Theory, List the Evidence Transpiration Troposphere Tsunami Volcanoes Warm Front Water Cycle Water Purification (Artificial) Water Purification (Natural) Weather 9 Picture Importance to Earth Science
