Question Physical Geography Latitudinal Zones Plate tectonics Theory that explains how forces within the planet create landforms Physical Processes 100 Oceanic and Continental Two types of the Earth’s crust Physical Processes 200 Earthquake Natural disaster caused by separation, colliding, subduction, or transformation of plates Physical Processes 300 Folding Mountains are formed when plates do this Physical Processes 400 Volcano Hot magma, gasses and water pour out of an opening in the earth’s crust, usually on a plate boundary. Physical Processes 500 Elevation The reason for this… LEMPOSA 100 Ocean Currents Makes the climate in Western Europe warmer than Canada (at the same latitude) LEMPOSA 200 Storms Not necessarily an element of climate, but they do occur regularly in certain parts of the world and are associated with certain climates LEMPOSA 300 Mountain Barrier (Orographic) Effect The reason why the Mojave Desert is directly inland from the Sierra Nevada Mountains LEMPOSA 400 Proximity to Water The reason why California stays warm in the winter and not too hot in the summer LEMPOSA 500 Distortion The result of the need to make flat maps to depict a round Earth Map Projections 100 Europe The center of a Mercator projection – the reason it is often criticized Map Projections 200 Robinson projection An oval-shaped projection often used in textbooks Map Projections 300 Gall-Peters projection Relative sizes of landmasses are accurate, but the shapes and distances are inaccurate Map Projections 400 Different strengths and weaknesses Why there are a variety of map projections Map Projections 500 Leeward The inner (dry) side of a mountain range Concepts 100 Hydrosphere All of the water on the Earth and in the air Concepts 200 Mid-latitudes The area of the globe with four seasons Concepts 300 Subduction The process by which plate collision results in one plate being drawn down or overridden by another Concepts 400 High latitudes The area of the globe with only one season Concepts 500 Day The length of time it takes for the earth to spin on its axis (rotate) Earth in Space 100 Leap Year The result of the fact that the Earth’s revolution takes an uneven number of days. Earth in Space 200 Tilt of the Earth’s axis The reason why seasons exist Earth in Space 300 Tides Result of the sun and moon’s gravitational pull on the Earth Earth in Space 400 West to East The direction the earth rotates Earth in Space 500 The Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn The outer boundaries of the region that experiences only two seasons (low latitudes) Final Jeopardy!
