3. The movement of a liquid or gas in a spiral around a central axis.
VOCABULARY 100
The movement of a liquid or gas in a spiral around a central axis.
What is Vortex

4. A body of air with the same temperature & moisture throughout.
VOCABULARY 200
A body of air with the same temperature & moisture throughout.
What is an Air Mass

5. What is a Convection Current
VOCABULARY 300
The transfer of heat energy through liquids & gases by movement resulting from temperature differences. Warm rises & expands; cool sinks & contracts.
What is a Convection Current

6. VOCABULARY 400
Synonym for compression wave, this wave travels the fastest and moves straight (in a push/pull) direction
What is a Primary Wave

7. What are Radiation, Conduction, & Convection
VOCABULARY 500
Thermal energy is transferred through three (3) different methods.
What are Radiation, Conduction, & Convection

8. What is the difference between Magma & Lava?
Potpourri 100
What is the difference between Magma & Lava?
What is Magma is molten rock beneath the surface of the planet, and Lava is above the surface.

9. What is heat allows a substance to flow more freely.
Potpourri 200
How does heat affect the viscosity of a substance?
What is heat allows a substance to flow more freely.

10. What are Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic rocks.
Potpourri 300
Name the three main classification of rocks.
What are Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic rocks.

11. What is a convection current?
Potpourri 400
What is a convection current?
What is a circulating flow of air or
water resulting from temperature differences;
also called a convection cell.

12. Potpourri 500
A huge sea wave caused by underwater earthquakes or, more rarely, by volcanoes.
What is a Tsunami

13. The state of the atmosphere at a particular time and place.
Storms 100
The state of the atmosphere at a particular time and place.
What is Weather

14. What are the Trade Winds
Storms 200
Global winds that flow toward the equator, turning west as they go.
What are the Trade Winds

15. Storms 300
An unusually warm flow of surface water that occurs in the Pacific Ocean about every 3 to 7 years.
What is El Niño

16. Storms 400
A violent windstorm that spirals around a rotating column of air (the vortex) and moves in a narrow path over land.
What is a Tornado

17. What is a Typhoon Storms 500
A massive rotating storm that forms north of the equator in the western Pacific Ocean. It is equivalent to a hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean, eastern Pacific Ocean, or Caribbean Sea.
What is a Typhoon

18. A scientist who studies earthquakes.
What is a Seismologist

19. Earthquakes 200
The record made by a seismograph; the paper on which earthquake waves are recorded.
What is a Seismogram

20. What is the “Ring of Fire”
Earthquakes 300
Daily Double
A zone of intense earthquake and
volcanic activity that encircles the Pacific Ocean basin.
What is the “Ring of Fire”

21. What is an S-Wave Earthquakes 400
A seismic wave; so named because it is the second wave to reach the seismograph station after an earthquake. It travels through the body of the earth in a side-to-side pattern.
What is an S-Wave

22. What is a Plate Boundary
Earthquakes 500
A place where pieces of the broken lithosphere meet. Boundary types include sliding (transform), colliding (convergent), and spreading (divergent).
What is a Plate Boundary

23. What is a Composite Volcano
Volcanoes 100
A volcano that forms from alternating eruptions of viscous lava and broken rock. It is steep near the summit and flat toward the base.
What is a Composite Volcano

24. Volcanoes 200
A solid earth material that forms when magma or lava cools and crystallizes on or below the earth’s surface.
What is Igneous Rock

25. Volcanoes 300
A bulbous, steep-sided dome that forms at the top of a volcano when thick, relatively “cold” magma emerges from the volcanic opening.
What is a Lava Dome

26. Volcanoes 400
The process by which earth materials transform from one rock type into another.
What is the Rock Cycle

27. What is a Volcanologist
Volcanoes 500
A scientist who studies volcanoes and volcanic phenomena.
What is a Volcanologist

28. hurricanes and tornadoes.
FINAL JEOPARDY!
What is a Natural Catastrophic Event?
A powerful and often dramatic force of nature that changes the earth’s surface and atmosphere; includes earthquakes, volcanoes, and intense storms such as
hurricanes and tornadoes.
