.
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.

12. The moon and sun are on opposite sides of the Earth. The Earth blocks the sun casting its shadow on the moon; there's no light on the moon
Galaxies
plate
Lunar eclipse
Water Cycle
13. Are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on Earth; moon has greater effect on the tides because its closer than the sun
Tides

15. Inner Core (solid metal - nickel - and iron) - Outer Core (liquid metal - magnetic force) - Mantle (rock) - Crust (thin layer)
convergent fault
major layers that make up Earth
Percipitation
divergent fault
16. Arctic Air pushes down causing colder water (Pacific Coast) - Tropical Air comes up from the Gulf stream causing warmer water (Coast of Florida)
effects ocean currents
Water Cycle
Spring Tides
Collection and runoff
17. Barometer measures...

Storms
18. Created by the wind - which stirs the ocean's surface over greater distances
Collection and runoff
Condensation
waves
The planets
19. Where are there more extreme and low tides?
Ring of Fire
Tides
Isolated bodies of water - inlet areas of land
hurricanes
20. Begin as huge clouds of dust and other particles; they form from the gravitational collapse of a diffuse interstellar cloud
renewable resources
Stars
aids in weather prediction
formation of soil
21. As a nebula contracts - the particles collide with colossal force - igniting a nuclear reaction and forming a protostar
divergent fault
Because of meteors
Nebula
Lunar eclipse
22. Chunks of rocks and ice
divergent fault
Comets
effects ocean currents
Eclipses
23. Liquid changes to a gas; caused bysun heating up bodies of water. The liquid water becomes vapor (gas)
Evaporation
Asteroids
How stars are classified
Collection and runoff
24. Everything that surrounds a star (sun); its made up of numerous bodies which orbit the sun due to centrifugal force
Frontal System
Our solar system
How stars are classified

formation of soil
Frontal System
fossil fuels
27. Refers to the vast periods of time over which the Earth changes
Tides

28. The convection current is produced by the heating of the mantle rock - as the rock is heated it moves up toward the lithosphere where it cools and begins to be pulled back toward the center of the Earth by gravity
Storms
aids in weather prediction
causes of plate movement
igneous mean
29. All the Earth's continents at one time were joined as a single 'super continent' called Pangaea Over time the continents drifted apart
