Sun – Earth - Moon Astronomy - $200 What would happen to the length of a day if the time it took Earth to rotate once on its axis increased? The day would be longer than 24 hours. Astronomy - $300 What two factors affect a planets revolution? Gravity Inertia Mass Volume Gravity & Inertia Astronomy - $400 What is the longest day of the year in New Jersey? June 21st – Summer Solstice Astronomy - $500 Draw a picture of the position of the Earth and Sun if NJ is experiencing summer. The Northern Hemisphere will point towards the sun Plate Tectonics - $100 What type of heat energy transfer occurs in the Earth’s mantle? Convection Plate Tectonics - $200 Why does the Earth have a magnetic field? Because of the spinning liquid metal in the core. Plate Tectonics - $300 According to this diagram, how does sea-floor spreading occur? As the plates diverge, the crack is filled with magma, forming new land. Plate Tectonics - $400 What causes the Pacific Ring of Fire? Type answer to appear with a mouse-click here Plate Tectonics - $500 Describe what happened to Pangaea and why it happened. The continents were once all together but moved apart due to convection currents in the mantle moving the tectonic plates. Rocks - $100 Iron combining with oxygen during oxidation is an example of which type of weathering: Physical or Chemical? Chemical Weathering Rocks - $200 How did the mountain change? Wind and water gradually caused weathering and erosion of the mountain over millions of years Rocks - $300 How did this beach most likely form? The waves constantly crashing along the rocks broke them down into sand. Rocks - $400 The root of a nearby tree lifting the cement sidewalk is an example of which type of weathering: Physical or Chemical? Physical Weathering Rocks - $500 Why are sedimentary rocks the most common rocks on Earth? Rocks constantly go through weathering and erosion on the Earth’s surface. Weather A- $100 How does convection occur in the atmosphere? Hint: How does air move according to temperature? Warm air rises, cold air sinks Weather A - $200 The amount of water vapor in the air varies by what 3 things? Location, time of day, and season Weather A- $300 Why are places near the equator warmer than other places on Earth? The equator receives direct sunlight all year. Weather A- $400 Which two gases make up most of the atmosphere? Nitrogen & Oxygen Weather A - $500 Which layers of the atmosphere cool down as you go higher in them? Troposphere & Mesosphere Weather - $100 What type of heat energy is transferred by the sun? Radiation Weather - $200 What occurs during evaporation? Water moves from the surface into the atmosphere as it gains energy from the sun and turns into water vapor. Weather - $300 Describe the air pressure, temperature, and cloud type needed for snow to fall. Low pressure, temperatures below 32F and nimbostratus Weather - $400 What do these symbols mean on a weather map? H L High Low Cold Front Warm Front Weather - $500 ___ heats up and cools down slower than ___. Water, Land Final Jeopardy Type question to appear here Type answer to appear with a mouse-click here
