- The number of times you do the experiment for each level
- Trials
- Number of trials you should have
- At least 3
- The layers of earth-includes the crust and mantle and core... and lithosphere (which is made of the crust and the upper mantle)
- GEOSPHERE
- Water anywhere- in rock, in soil,in the air,
- Hydrosphere
- Anything living anywhere ..in water, air, in soil
- Biosphere
- The thin layer of gases that surround the earth
- Atmosphere
- space, the final frontier, beyond the atmosphere
- Cosmosphere
- What humans make and do to alter the environment
- Anthrosphere- roads, houses, pollution
- Geologic time
- what we refer to when we talk about loooong (millions of yrs) if time
- plate tectonics
- The movement of chunks of the lithosphere over the surface of earth
- What does plate tectonics cause?
- earthquakes and volcanoes and mountain building
- lithosphere
- what geologists refer to when they talk about plate tectonics and what is involved- it's the lithosphere silly bunny- the cold hard outer layer.
- Hydrosphere
- water anywhere- in soil in ocean etc
- Geosphere/ Lithosphere
- Geosphere includes the Lithosphere. Lith is top of geosphere
- The solid matter of the earth
- Geosphere- the top layer of it is called the Lithosphere
- Variable
- things in an experiment that changes
- independent variable
- variable that is purposely changed
- dependent variable
- variable that responds in your experiment. It responds to your IV changing.
- constants
- things that are kept the same in your experiment
- Why do you need constants in an experiment?
- If all conditions but the IV are kept the same, then you know with confidence that the only things that could affect the outcome is the IV, not anything else.
- Hypothesis
- The prediction of the effect of the Ind Variable on the dependent variable
- Ways to organize data
- a data table
- The different types of your independent variable
- levels
- The number of times that you experiment with each level of the Ind Variable
- Trials
- The # of trials you should have in an experiment
- at least 3
- the three layers of the geosphere
- Crust on top mantle next- about 3000 km thick Finally the core- inner is solid irond, outer is liquid
- The sphere that is part of the earth consisting of it;s surface and the layers beneath it
- Geosphere
- the deep earth is very ____ (hot or cold)
- HOT baby!
- What happens to the outer cold rigid layer when the inner hot layer is flowing beneath it
- The outer layer breaks into pieces and crashes into each other or slides past each other (like the San Andreas fault lil' flee!)
- What does the movement of the layers of the earth cause?
- Plate tectonics
- the outer layer of the Geosphere
- Well, we call it the lithosphere and it includes that thin layer called the crust
- What is the part of the earth that allows living things to survive?
- The atmosphere
- Gases in the atmosphere
- "N-O-C" Nitrogen Oxgygen Carbon Dioxide
- Are plants part of the biosphere
- UBETCHA!
- Is a virus part of the biosphere?
- Unfortunately, yes. ;(
- The different areas of the biosphere
- Biomes
- examples of biomes
- desert (1 s only) grasslands forests
- earth is alone in the universe?
- Nay, there are many things out there that can affect us- like comets and meteors and asteroids. AAaaaaggh!
- The Sun is _______ Million miles away
- 93 million miles away.. and it still affects us- that's one powerful star- even though it is average in size
- When asteroids hit the ground they form ...
- craters
- What domino effect did an asteroid hit 65 million years ago have on earth
- climate change from dust kicked up into atmosphere (sun partly blocked to temp drops then plants die) and then plant eater dinos die and then meat eaters die (what about mammals? At this time they were all lil critters and had enough to survive.) so dinos go extinct!
