A solar eclipse happens when | the moon is between the earth and the sun and it blocks out the sun |
A lunar eclipse happens when | the earth is between the sun and the moon and the earths shadow hits the moon |
We know outer core is liquid because | s waves cant go through it |
The area drained by a river and its tributaries is a | watershed |
The closer and larger two objects are | the greater the force of gravity |
Plate tectonics says | the earths lithosphere is divided into pieces called plates that move |
the 3 types of plate boundaries are | divergent,convergent, and transform |
subduction is when | one plate sinks under another forming a trench |
Weathering occurs when rocks are exposed to | the hydrosphere,biosphere and atmosphere |
Moist and warm climates favor | chemical weathering |
Moist and cold climates favor | physical weathering |
When in doubt | use the reference tables |
As particle size decreases | surface area increases and the rate of weathering increases |
Soils develop as a result of | weathering and biological activity |
The primary force that drives the agents of erosion is | gravity |
