23. $100 Question from H3 What is weathering?

24. $100 Answer from H3 The breaking down of rocks by water, wind or ice.

25. $200 Question from H3 Describe what happens to rocks and mountains when water freezes inside cracks?

26. $200 Answer from H3 The water seeps down into the cracks and then freezes during the cold winter months causing the ice to expand and force the rock apart. This is one type of weathering.

27. $300 Question from H3 What is erosion?

28. $300 Answer from H3 The moving of rock or soil from one place to another by water, wind or ice.

29. $400 Question from H3 How do rivers shape the land?

30. $400 Answer from H3 They carry debris, soil and rock from the banks from upstream to downstream. They carve out the land. A famous example would be the Grand Canyon.

31. $500 Question from H3 List, in order, the events of the water cycle beginning with the sun’s energy heating up water on earth.

32. $500 Answer from H3 The sun’s energy heats up the water on earth Causing it to 1.) Evaporate, changing from a liquid to a gas. It rises up into the earth’s atmosphere. The higher it goes the colder it gets and begins to 2.) Condense, changing back from a gas to a liquid. This is when clouds form. When the cloud becomes saturated water will fall in some form of 3.) Precipitation; water, snow, sleet, or hail; depending on the temperature. After hitting the ground some water will run across the land as 4.) Run-off and some will seep or Infiltrate into the ground

33. $100 Question from H4 What is adaptation?

34. $100 Answer from H4 A body part (structure) or a behavior that help plants and animals survive in their environment.

35. $200 Question from H4 How are gills similar to lungs?

36. $200 Answer from H4 They both filter oxygen for an animal. Gills filter oxygen from water and lungs from air.

37. $300 Question from H4 Why do ducks have webbed feet?

38. $300 Answer from H4 For propelling them forward while swimming and to keep them from sinking in the mud on lake, river, and pond banks.

39. $400 Question from H4 Name three characteristics that can be used to identify an amphibian.

40. $400 Answer from H4 1. Smooth, moist skin 2. Lay eggs 3. Live part of life in water/part on land 4. Have gills when born and develop lungs for land

41. $500 Question from H4 Name 3 adaptations of a predator and describe their function.

42. $500 Answer from H4 1.Sharp teeth or beak for ripping and tearing meat 2.Eyes in the front of the head for stalking prey 3. Strong jaw for taking down prey and crushing bones

43. $100 Question from H5 Name three rapid changes to the earth’s surface.

44. $100 Answer from H5 earthquakes move the land and create cracks in the crust landslides carry rock and soil down hillsides when there is lots of rainfall that saturates the soil volcanoes create new land tsunami can reshape coastal areas construction, mining, or logging (man can sometimes make the biggest change in the earth’s surface)

45. $200 Question from H5 Name three slow/gradual changes to the earth’s surface.

46. $200 Answer from H5 plate tectonics – plate can move 1-10 centimeters per year rivers and streams erode banks slow precipitation causing runoff

47. $300 Question from H5 Draw and label the layers of the earth on the white board.

48. $300 Answer from H5

49. $400 Question from H5 Name the three types of rocks in the rock cycle.

50. $400 Answer from H5 Sedimentary, Igneous and Metamorphic

51. $500 Question from H5 During the shifting of plates in earth’s crust and upper mantle they can move in three ways. Name these ways and describe their effects.

52. $500 Answer from H5 1.The plates can collide (convergent boundaries) into each other wrinkling up the land forming mountains or one could slide under another possibly causing a volcano. 2. Plates can move away from each other (divergent boundaries) and cause rifts or spreading; magma can rise through the cracks in the crust and form more land. 3. Plates can slide past one another (transform faults) and as they crash and grind past each other, there are many earthquakes.
