The average, year-after- year conditions of temperature, precipitation, winds, and cloud in an area are known as its
Climate
How does your latitude affect temperature?
Closer to Equator, the warmer the temperature.
What human activities have increased the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Burning fossil fuels
Name two greenhouse gases and why scientists are concerned with them.
Carbon dioxide Methane Water vapor They trap heat, increase temp!

Drive less Carpool Use alternative fuels Turn off lights when not in use Walk / bike to work Use energy efficient light bulbs Buy local foods
Why are fossils important?
Previous environments Show evolution of life
Where are the oldest rocks found in a rock cross- section?
On the bottom
The fossil record shows that life on Earth has changed over time. For example, paleontologists have found that older rocks contain fossils of
Primitive/simple organisms than what we find today.
What is the difference between rotation and revolution in terms of length of each and what they produce?
Rotation - 24hr, night and day Revolution - 365d, year
When the environment changes more quickly than a species can adapt, the species may become
Extinct
