Sea Water-100 Ocean water receives energy from the sun and transfers it by moving What is ocean currents

Sea Water-200 When deep ocean water becomes colder it also becomes more What is dense

Sea Water-300 San Francisco, a city in California enjoys a moderate climate all year due to the What is the California current

Sea Water-400 Ocean currents that move warm water to different regions away from the equator effect the regions What is climate

Sea Water-500 Deep ocean currents are caused by changes in this What is density

Climate Change-100 The amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide has done this in the last 150 years. What is increased

Climate Change-200 The following gases are all found in the Earth’s atmosphere. Which of them is not considered a heat trapping greenhouse gas? What is nitrogen

Climate Change-300 Climate change and global warming are 2 terms that often get used incorrectly. Which of them is a result of the other? What is climate change. Climate change is occurring because the Earth is getting warmer globally

Climate Change -400 Scientists have found clues about climate change while studying animal adaptations over long periods of time. Scientists find this evidence by observing these What are fossils

Climate Change -500 The Earth’s atmosphere acts like a blanket keeping the Earth warm. This happens because certain gases in the air are able to What is trap heat

Cloud Formation-100 The first step in the formation of a cloud occurs when warm air What is rises

Cloud Formation-200 A warm air mass will rise as it’s density decreases. As a result, the air mass will begin to What is cool

Cloud Formation-300 Water vapor that begins to condense needs something to condense, or collect on. In a cloud this is What is dust

Cloud Formation-400 Condensation of water vapor occurs when the air temperature has reached its What is dewpoint

Cloud Formation-500 Air that moves over these may be forced to rise and may form clouds What are mountains

Plate Tectonics -100 Molten magma rises to the surface and begins to form new ocean floor What is sea floor spreading

Plate Tectonics -200 Volcanoes form at boundaries of What are tectonic plates

Plate Tectonics -300 2 converging continental plates form these What are mountains

Plate Tectonics -400 The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is an example of this type of plate boundary What is divergent

Plate Tectonics -500 At a convergent plate boundary, oceanic crust is forced under continental crust because it is What is more dense

Hydrogeology-100 Aquifers are helpful in cleaning water because they filter these out from contaminated water What are contaminants or pollutants

Hydrogeology-200 Water that moves like rivers underground and is consistently replenished is called What is groundwater

Hydrogeology-300 Water features like rivers, lakes and streams are considered to be what kind of water? What is surface water

Hydrogeology-400 Farming, commercial use, landfills, manufacturing are examples of possible sources of water contamination. These sources can all be traced back to this What is human impact

Hydrogeology-500 The name used to describe the study of Earth’s water sources What is hydrogeology

FINAL JEOPARDY The type of heat transfer that plays a big role in the processes of tectonic plate movement, weather, and the movement of deep ocean currents is called What is convection ( creates convection currents )
