A | B |
Density= | mass (m) /volume (v) |
Warm (air, water, magma) | rises because it is less dense |
Cold air | sinks |
Latitude | lines run east and west |
Longitude | lines run north and south |
The closer the Contour Lines | the steeper the slope of the land |
Countour lines form V's point | downstream of rivers |
Water Cycle | includes evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff |
We have 2 high tides | and 2 low tides |
Tides are caused by | gravitiational pull of Earth, Moon, and Sun |
Waves | mostly generated by wind |
Weather | describes day-to-day changes |
Climate | describes long term weather patterns |
Areas near the Equator | receive the most isolation |
High pressures | bring cool and dry weather |
Low pressures | bring warm and wet |
Two types of planets | Inner and Outer |
Inner Planet (rocky) | Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars |
Outer Planet (Gaseous) | Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune |
Venus' atmosphere | mostly CO2 and dense due to greenhouse effects |
Comets | known as dirty snowballs |
Asteroid | rocky or metallic iron objects |
Apollo 11 | first manned landing on the moon |
Neil Armstrong | first man on the moon |
a mineral | found in nature, inorganic, solid, with definite composition and structure |
Oxygen and silicon | major elements found in Earth's crust |
Igneous rocks | produced by the cooling of magma or lava |
Extrusive | fast cooling |
Intrusive | slow cooling |
Metamorphic rocks | formed by heat and pressure |
Sedimentary Rocks | formed from rock fragments, organic material, or chemical precipitation |
Fossils | found in layers of sedimentary rocks |
