$100 Jeopardy Menu This type of light damages DNA in human cells. What UV light? Life on Earth

$200 This is a thin layer of gas around the earth that protects humans from harmful UV light. Jeopardy Menu What is the ozone layer? Life on Earth

$300 Earth is the only planet to have this compound in liquid form. Jeopardy Menu What is water? Life on Earth

$400 This would happen to water on earth if the earth were moved much further from the sun. Jeopardy Menu Question: What is freezing? Life on Earth

$500 The atmosphere allows life on earth for these two reasons. Jeopardy Menu 1.We breath oxygen in the atmosphere. 2.The ozone layer protects us from UV light. Life on Earth

$100 Wind energy is an example of this type of resource. Jeopardy Menu What is a renewable resource? Natural Resources

$200 Fossil fuels are an example of this type of resource. Jeopardy Menu What is a nonrenewable resource? Natural Resources

$300 This might happen to the earth’s temperatures if we increase the amount of cars driving on earth. What is an increase in global temperatures. Jeopardy Menu Natural Resources

$400 Burning these resources causes acid rain What are coal, oil, and gasoline (fossil fuels). Jeopardy Menu Natural Resources

$500 Name four renewable resources Solar Energy, Wind Energy, Water Energy, and Wood. Jeopardy Menu Natural Resources

$100 As this layer of gas gets thinner, human skin cancer rates will likely increase. Jeopardy Menu What is the ozone layer? Human Impact

$200 These compounds are contained in hairspray, air conditioners, and refrigerators. These compounds break down ozone gas. Jeopardy Menu What are Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)? Human Impact
