3. Weathering – 100: There are two types of weathering: Name them Chemical and Mechanical

4. Weathering – 200: List the agents of mechanical weathering Freezing & Thawing, Water (waves), Abrasion, animal & human activity

5. Weathering – 300: List the agents of chemical weathering Carbon dioxide, oxygen, acid rain, lichens

6. Weathering – 400: When chemically weathered, the minerals change to form a new type of rock. True or false True

7. Weathering – 500: Define the term Abrasion Mechanical weathering in which rock collides with other rock resulting in smaller rock pieces

8. Erosion – 100: Define the term Erosion The movement of rock, sediments, & soil from one place to another

9. Erosion – 200: List the causes of Erosion Wind, Water, Gravity, Glacial Movement

10. Erosion – 300: When rock, sediments and soil are placed/dropped off in a new spot this is called. Deposition

11. Erosion – 400: Explain ice wedging Water seeps into cracks in the rock then the water freezes. This expands the crack in the rock.

12. Erosion – 500: Carbon dioxide reacts with water to form ________ _______, which can dissolve rocks. Carbonic Acid

13. Disasters – 100: A spinning funnel cloud that extends from a storm cell to the ground is called a _______. Tornado

14. Disasters– 200: Floods are the result of too much water for a given area. List the two sources of this great amount of water. Rain and snow melt

15. Disasters – 300: Hurricanes cannot continue on to land because… Hurricanes need warm, moist air/water to continue and the land takes away it’s water source.

16. Disasters – 400: I am the scientist who helped create a scale with which to measure tornadoes. Fujita (Enhanced Fujita Scale)

17. Disasters – 500: Thunderstorms are caused by. Cold air pushing warm air up rapidly. This warm air rising condenses into clouds which results in precipitation and sometimes thunderstorms.

18. Water Supply – 100: Freshwater or saltwater makes up the most of our water supply on Earth? Saltwater

19. Water Supply – 200: True or False. We can use ground water or surface water for drinking, farming, and irrigation purposes. True

20. Water Supply – 300: Drawing too much water out of lakes, streams, and rivers puts plants and animals at risk. Why? Plants and animals that need freshwater are not suited to live in saltwater.

21. Water Supply – 400: Which aquifer is on the tail of the Ogallala aquifer in Texas? Edward’s Aquifer

22. Water Supply – 500: The ______ aquifer covers most of the Great Plains of the United States. Ogallala Daily Double!!!

23. Mass Movement – 100: ________ are the result of massive amounts of rain. Mudslides

24. Katrina– 200: New Orleans had three defenses against storm surges and hurricanes…they were. Levees, Canals, and Barrier Islands

25. Mass Movement 300 : Clearing the land on hills and mountains increases the amount of _______, which can lead to mudslides, landslides, or flooding. Runoff

26. Mass Movement – 400: True or false. Tornadoes can be several miles wide with wind speeds above 200 mph. True

27. Water Supply – 500: Removing more ground water than is naturally replaced by rain and snow melt. Aquifer Depletion

28. Whoop!
