Answers) | Brand New Edition
1. Lithosphere - ANSWER Solid areas on the earth, like rocks
2. Hydrosphere - ANSWER Water
3. Biosphere - ANSWER Living things
4. Outer Core - ANSWER layer that is made of liquid iron and nickel,
generates Earth's magnetic field
5. Mantle - ANSWER Layer of heated and slowly deforming solid rock
between crust and outer core
6. Uppermost Mantle - ANSWER the rigid upper layer of the mantle that
touches the crust
7. Asthenosphere - ANSWER layer of the mantle that deforms and flows
8. Crust - ANSWER The rigid outermost portion of the Earth's surface
9. Continental Crust - ANSWER crust that makes up the continents, composed
mainly of granite
,10.Oceanic Crust - ANSWER crust beneath the oceans, composed mainly of
basalt, denser than continental
11.Lithosphere - ANSWER The Earth's layer that consists of the rigid crust +
the uppermost mantle
12.Rock Cycle - ANSWER 1. Magma codes into Igneous rock
2. Weathering breaks down rock into sediment
3. Lithification of sediments creates a sedimentary rock
4. Metamorphism causes rock to change at a molecular level to create
metamorphic rock
5. Rock melts into magma
13.Igneous - ANSWER Forms from cooling magma
14.Intrusive Igneous - ANSWER cools in crust (slowly), coarse texture with
big crystals
15.Extrusive Igneous - ANSWER cools on surface (rapidly), fine texture with
small crystals
16.Felsic Magma - ANSWER continental crust
17.Mafic Magma - ANSWER oceanic crust
18.Plutons - ANSWER type of igneous rock formation
19.Sill - ANSWER flat, horizontal line
,20.Dike - ANSWER vertical line
21.Laccolith - ANSWER dome shaped
22.Batholith - ANSWER huge, solidified magma chamber
23.Sedimentary - ANSWER Forms from sediments
24.Clastic - ANSWER lithification of small particles of sand, slit, or clay
25.Atmosphere - ANSWER Gases in the air
26.Scientific Method - ANSWER the method for creating new knowledge
27.Hypothesis - ANSWER Provisional explanation on some phenomena that
requires verification
28.Theory - ANSWER Body of existing, accepted knowledge
29.Verification - ANSWER Testing with experiments, data collection, and
analysis
30.Open System - ANSWER Matter/energy can enter and leave, most systems
are open
, 31.Closed System - ANSWER Matter/energy are contained within system
32.Storage/Budget - ANSWER Storage of energy because it can't be created or
destroyed based on input/outputs
33.Positive Budget - ANSWER inputs>outputs, so storage increases
34.Negative Budget - ANSWER outputs>inputs, so storage decreases
35.Equilibrium - ANSWER achieved in a balanced budget where
outputs=inputs, storage is constant
36.Static Equilibrium - ANSWER fixed
37.Dynamic Equilibrium - ANSWER constantly changing
38.Feedbacks - ANSWER System response to some change in environment
condition condition/input that acts to influence the original change
39.Positive Feedback - ANSWER increased the outputs
40.Negative Feedback - ANSWER decrease the outputs (helps maintain
population and preserve it)
41.Latitude - ANSWER Parallels, distance measured from Earth's center to a
point North or South of Equator, 0-90 degrees N or S
