2. What is being formed below?

3. What is being formed below?
Coal

4. What evidence supports the idea of Continental Drift?
Shapes of continents look like they fit together
Rock types and mountain ranges match up
Fossils match up on continents separated by an ocean
Warm climate fossils found in Antarctica, glacier striations found in warm climates

5. Which process in the water cycle forms clouds?
Condensation

6. What is the difference between an artesian and pumping well?
Water flows freely from an artesian well that is dug into a confined aquifer. A pumping well is dug into an unconfined aquifer.

7. What is the magnitude of a star?
Brightness

8. What moon phase occurs between a waxing crescent and waxing gibbous?
1st quarter

9. What unit of measurement is most commonly used for measuring distances between objects in the universe?
Light year

10. How is air pressure different at the poles compared to the equator?
Air pressure is higher at the poles (air is cold and dry) and lower at the equator (warm and humid)

Paleozoic
Cenozoic
Pre-Cambrian
Mesozoic
Bacteria
Mammals
Reptiles
Fish

12. Match the feature to the correct VA province
Karst topography
Coal
Deposition of sediment
Metamorphic rocks
Igneous rocks

13. What is the most abundant gas in Earth’s atmosphere?
Nitrogen – 78%

14. Explain what is happening in the diagram
Seafloor spreading at a divergent boundary. New ocean crust is forming at the center of the mid-ocean ridge. Alternating rock layers provide evidence of magnetic pole reversals.

15. What are line graphs used for showing?
Change over time
