Name the most
dense layer of
Earth and

makeup.
Inner core is made up of mostly iron and
is a super hot SOLID metal
The lithosphere is made up of
___________
The crust and the upper mantle
Which layer of Earth is
the thickest?
The mantle
Besides location and
density, what is the
biggest difference
between the
lithosphere and the
asthenosphere?
The lithosphere is
where all living things
are found
Name the layers of
Earth from LEAST to
MOST dense.
Crust, Mantle, Outer
Core, Inner Core
Who had the first
concept of evolution?
Jean Baptiste de
Lamarck
What did Darwin find in
the Galapagos Islands
that helped him develop
his theory of evolution?
Finches on different
islands with different
beaks specialized for
food on that island
What must occur
before speciation can
occur?
Isolation
Daily Double:
What are the four
components of natural
selection?
overproduction, variation,
adaptation, selection
Provide an example of
speciation and an
example of natural
selection. Be
thorough.
Natural selection is passing on a
favorable mutation (adaptation) to
more and more offspring while
speciation produces two new species
from one existing based on
environmental changes
When contour lines
appear very close to
one another, this means
that….
Elevation is increasing
or decreasing very
rapidly
How is remote sensing
different from ground
truthing?
Remote sensing
gathers information
without making contact
where ground truthing
requires going to the
area
Why do plants look
green when they are
photographed using
visible light?
Plants reflect green
wavelengths

(EM) allows images
collected by satellites
sent back to earth?
Radio waves

the Electromagnetic
Spectrum?
Gamma rays
X-rays
Ultraviolet
Visible light
Infrared
Microwave
Radio
What does the Law of
Superposition state?
That the youngest rock
layers are on the top
while the oldest is on
the bottom.
What is it called when
there is a missing layer
in the rock record?
Unconformity
What can Ice Cores tell
us and can they date
back as far as rock
layers?
Ice Cores can tell us
about climate changes
over the last million years
and do not date back as
far as rock layers
A fossil of an organism
that lived during a
specific time period
and that can be used to
give an age to
unknown fossils or
rock layers is called:
Index Fossil
What is true of igneous
rock that cuts through a
layer of sedimentary
rock?
The igneous rock is
younger than all of the
layers that its cuts
through.
What most likely could
be observed at
transform boundaries?
Earthquakes
