| Name 3 pieces of evidence for plate tectonics (& continental drift) | Puzzle piece fit of contitnents, rock layers coincide, fossils of coincide in SA & Africa |
| Stage of a river with oxbow lakes | Old |
| Stage of a river with rapids & waterfalls | Young/Youthful |
| # of Seismographs needed to locate the epicenter of an earthquake | 3 |
| Which seismic wave is the fastest? | P wave (Primary) |
| Which seismic wave arrives last at a seismic station? | L wave (Surface) |
| Point on Earth's surface directly above the focus of the earthquake | Epicenter |
| Deepest ocean trench in the world | Marianna trench |
| Person credited with the "how" portion of platetectonics | Harry Hess |
| 2 natural occurrences that happen along the Ring of Fire | Eartquakes & Volcanoes |
| Draw a divergent Plate boundary |  |
| 3 Factors that affect the rate of weathering | Type of rock, amount of rock exposed, climate |
| Frost Action/Ice wedging (def) | Type of mechanical weathering that results in the cracking of rock by freezing & thawing of water |
| Chemical weathering (def) | Type of weathering that changes the composition of the particle |
| US coast with an active plate boundary w volcanoes & earthquakes | West coast of US |
| Wavelength (def) | Distance from one crest to another,  |
| Draw a subduction plate boundary |  |
| Amplitude (def) | The energy of a wave |
| Gulf Stream (def) | Warm water ocean current off the east coast of North America; travels Northeast |
| Crest (def) | Highest point of a wave |
| Trough (def) | Lowest part of a wave |
| Area of greatest weathering by an ocean wave | shoreline |
| Reason multiple volcanic islands have formed in Hawaii | The Pacific plate is moving over the hotspot |
| Sand dune (def) | Build of sediments along the coast that protect the land from storm surges |
| Point in a meander where the water does the most erosion | Outside curve of the meander |
| Draw & label an artesian formation: include caprock (impermeable), aquifer (permeable) and the rock types (names) for each |  |
| Which of the following seidment types would have the greatest pore space [pebbles, sands, silts, clays] | Pebbles because they are large and round |
| Does increasing the interconnected pores space of an aquifer (increase or decrease) its permeability? | Increase |
