Presentation transcript:

IF YOU FIND SEVERAL LAYERS OF ROCKS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN OVERTURNED, WHERE WOULD YOU FIND THE YOUNGER ROCKS?

Younger rocks would be at the top, while older rocks at the bottom.

WHAT IS WEATHERING?

Breakdown of rock material.

WHAT IS SOIL MADE UP OF?

LIST 3 AGENTS OF EROSION.

Agents of erosion include: 1.Glaciers 2.Wind 3.Streams or moving water

WHAT IS THE FORCE THAT CAUSES THE MOVEMENT OF THE EARTH’S CRUSTAL PLATES?

THE FORCE THAT MOVES THE CRUSTAL PLATES ARE CONVECTION CURRENTS IN THE MANTLE.

WHAT DO SCIENTISTS STUDY IN ORDER TO LEARN ABOUT THE EARTH’S INTERIOR?

SCIENTISTS STUDY SEISMIC WAVES (EARTHQUAKE WAVES) TO LEARN ABOUT THE EARTH’S INTERIOR.

DESCRIBE 3 PIECES OF EVIDENCE THAT SCIENTIST USE TO INFER THAT PANGAEA ONCE EXISTED.

Evidence for the existence of Pangaea include: 1. Matching fossils across continents. 2. Matching rock type and rock formations across continents 3. Continents fit together like a puzzle.

HOW IS WEATHER DIFFERENT FROM CLIMATE?

WEATHER REFERS TO SHORT TERM CONDITIONS, WHILE CLIMATE FOCUSES ON LONG TERM ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS.

IF THERE IS A CHANGE IN WEATHER IN A GIVEN LOCATION, WHAT IS THE MOST LIKELY REASON?

PROBABLY AN AIR MASS MOVED INTO THE REGION.

DESCRIBE THE GENERAL DIRECTION IN WHICH WEATHER PATTERNS MOVE IN THE UNITED STATES.

WEATHER PATTERNS GENERALLY MOVE FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.
