.
Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.
This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. From fire (ignite) the formation of igneous rocks occurs when hot molten rock cools or solidifies. Igneous rock can be produced deep in the Earth from magma or on the surface of the Earth from lava

14. Refers to the amount of dissolved salt in the ocean. salinity level is lower at the mouth of a river due to the flow of fresh water into the saltwater. Areas with high temp. (equator) or low temp. areas (Arctic and Antarctic Oceans) salinity is highe
Water Cycle
What is salinity?
The planets
Neap Tides
15. Is one that can be reused - regrown - recycled - or is not consumed with use. These are resources that can be conserved. ex. solar energy - hydroelectric and wind power - and geothermal energy
renewable resources
Our solar system
subduction
physical weathering
16. Raising and lowering of the water level
plate
What is salinity?
tide
Frontal System
17. Igneous (burning molten rock magma turns to lava when it reaches the surface - hardens very quickly causing imperfections) ex. granite - Metamorphic (baked by pressure underground) ex. diamond (pure) - Sedimentary - ex. sand - sandstone
Comets
major types of rocks
low pressure
fossil fuels
18. My very educated mama just served us nachos - Mercury - Venus - Earth - Mars - Jupiter - Saturn - Uranus - Neptune
cause of earthquakes

ideas that support Continental drift
Seasons
Meteors
Storms
21. Huge clusters of billions of stars
