The only star in our Solar System
What is the Sun?
A very large planet between
Saturn and Neptune
What is Uranus?
It pulls the mass of all matter
and the Moon has much less
then the Earth.
What is gravity?
The Moon would need
this to make life as we
know it possible.
What is liquid water?
or
What is a breathable air/gas?
(Remember; Plants don’t need oxygen)
One reason a crater can
last much longer on the
Moon then on Earth.
What is no erosion?
or
What is no weather?
(Rain and wind would count as weather)
About 29 ½ days is
what it takes for this
cycle to happen.
What is the Moon’s phases?
The time it takes the Earth
to revolve around the sun.
What is one year?
or
¼
What is about 335 days?
It creates the day and night.
What is the Earth’s rotation
toward and away from the Sun?
This cycle can happen twice a day
because the Earth rotates, but at
different times because the Moon
revolves around the Earth .
What is the tide cycle?
Name the yearly cycle that
temperate climates experience
because of the Earth’s
revolution around the Sun.
What are seasons?
This is the word for natural events
which occur in the atmosphere.
What is weather?
This is the pattern of weather that
occurs over the length of one year
in anyplace on Earth.
What is climate?
3 POINTS EACH CORRECT ANSWER
IF YOU NAME MORE THAN ONE
This is a type of weather which occurs
when a mass of cold air comes into
contact with a mass of warm air.
What is wind?
or
What is precipitation/storms?
or
What is the temperature drops?
or
What is the air pressure increases.
This is the major reason
that the Earth has a variety
of different climates.
What is the amount of direct
Sunlight shining on the
different parts of the Earth?
The weather changes anytime the
amount of one of these two things
changes in the atmosphere.
What is the amount
of water or the
Sun’s energy?
This is the breaking of rocks by
changing temperatures, ice, water
or any other natural event.
What is weathering?
Rocks, minerals or
soil is laid down and
left by natural events.
What is deposition?
This large amount of matter
slides across the surface of
Earth and can create huge
round bottom valleys.
What is a glacier?
Pressure within the Earth’s
surface can break huge parts of
the crust and cause this to happen.
What is an earthquake?
This is formed when a layer
of mud, sand or soil is
pressed together below many
more layers of minerals and
soil for millions of years.
What is sedimentary rock?
This word means that
a group of living
things that are all alike
is no longer alive.
What is extinct?
This word means that a group
of living things has changed
from a similar group that came
before and was able to survive
in its environment.
What is evolution?
A scientist must have this
before she or he can claim to
know what might have
happened a long time ago
before there were humans to
witness an event.
What is scientific evidence?
This can become a fossil.
What is evidence of life
from long ago that is buried
in soil, mineral or mud and
becomes part of a
sedimentary rock layer.
This is one thing that has to
happen for a fossil to form.
What is organic material gets
buried in soil with little bacteria?
or
What is buried organic material
must be left for many years until
sedimentary rock forms around it?
