| 13858958167 | parts of earth | crust, mantle, outer core, inner core | 0 | |
| 13858981899 | types of boundaries | convergent, divergent, transform | 1 | |
| 13858999484 | convergent boundary | two plates push torwards each other, one gets pushed into mantle | 2 | |
| 13859004663 | divergent boundary | A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other and a space is created where hot mantle can fill creating new crust | 3 | |
| 13859012716 | transform plate boundary | Boundary between two plates that are sliding past each other. | 4 | |
| 13859022247 | Converging continent-continent | creates mountains | 5 | |
| 13859030026 | converging continent-ocean / ocean-ocean | subduction. ocean gets pushed below and melts in mantle | 6 | |
| 13859055190 | Volcanoes and Earthquakes | volcanoes - Occur at tectonic plate boundaries: divergent—spreading, rift valley new ocean floor is created w magma; convergent, subduction zones; hotspots, magma rises to surface through plates earthquake transform fault,—sliding (ex. San Andreas). | 7 | |
| 13859186029 | logging | (n.) the cutting down of trees for commercial purposes, causes erosion | 8 | |
| 13859201413 | atmosphere | (from closest to farthest) Troposphere Statosphere mesosphere thermosphere | 9 | |
| 13859228938 | Troposphere | contains green house gasses (mostly H20 and CO2) absord sun radiation that reflects off earth. at end of troposhere is tropopause, buffer zone between stratosphere where temperature starts to get warmer not colder higher u get | 10 | |
| 13859259977 | stratosphere | 12 to 50 km, Ozone held here, absorbs UV radiation | 11 | |
| 13859290871 | Mesosphere | meteors burn up | 12 | |
| 13859298895 | thermosphere | The uppermost layer of the atmosphere, in which temperature increases as altitude increases, thinnest layer of gas, absorbs solar wind, makes radio waves possible, | 13 | |
| 13859401945 | convection cell | A circular pattern of air rising, air sinking, and wind. causes storms, then warm air over ocean | 14 | |
| 13859426614 | Hadley Cell | a system of vertical and horizontal air circulation , results in tropical conditions at equator and deserts at 30's | 15 | |
| 13859563536 | El Nino | does opposite of what normally happens. normal trade winds are weakened which is known as southern oscillation. without winds water warm water doesnt go to pacific and stays, this causes warmer winters, less intense hurricane season. more rainfall. fishing declines. | 16 | |
| 13860449549 | zones in water | littoral, shallowest, abundant sun for water. limnetic, depth to where sun can penetrate, organisms that live here use sunlight for photosynthesis profundal, too deep for sunlight benthic, deepest, low temps low oxygen | 17 | |
| 13860500225 | zones for ocean water | coastal euphotic bathyal abyssal | 18 | |
| 13860587033 | carbon cycle | respiration --> animals and plants breahte in oxygen and give of carbon dioxide photosynthesis --> plants take in carbon dioxide water, and enery from sun to produce carbohydrates. combustion --> when fossil fuels are burned carbon is released into atmosphere. | 19 | |
| 13860624190 | nitrogen cycle | nitrogen fixation --> process that makes nitorgen biologically available nitrifcation --> soil bacteria converts amonia or ammonium into nitrites (NO2) then nitrates (NO3) that can be used by plants assimilation --> plants absorb ammonium and nitrate ions denitrification --> specialized bacteria denitrifies nitrates back into amonia | 20 | |
| 13860676802 | phosphorous cycle | found in rocks, released when rocks are weathered, cycled thru nature | 21 | |
| 13860689246 | ecosystems | decidous --> Connecticut, seasons rainforest grasslands --> nevada coniferous --> canada tundra --> north canda chaparral --> cali desert | 22 | |
| 13862055839 | Hipco | habitat fragmentation invasives population pollution climate change overharvesting/ overexploitation | 23 | |
| 13864169505 | Thermodynamics | energy cant be created or destoryed everything is going torwards chaos | 24 |
