What happens to a plant soon after it dies? Becomes hard & forms rock. Breaks down & becomes part of the soil Turns black & becomes coal. Becomes soft and forms clay.
The jet stream has a great impact on changing weather conditions in an area because: Does not change seasons. Keeps atmosphere full of moisture. Is a determinant of major air movements. Speeds up evaporation following precipitation.
C. Is a determinant of major air movements The Jet Stream brings moisture from Gulf, Cold comes from the North & warm air is brought in by the Atlantic. These cause YOUR weather patterns!!!!!!
What is MAINLY responsible for the unequal heat of Earth’s surface? Distance of Sun from different parts of Earth The angle sunshine strikes Earth Material of Earth’s surface Changes in amount of energy the sun puts out

What is the purpose of using terraces on hillsides? A. To retain water and soil B. To increase Wind Erosion C. To keep roots from spreading D. Provides protection for animals
A. To retain water and soil • This keeps roots in place • Cuts down on erosion
What is the name of the Volcanic and Earthquake region found in the Pacific Ocean? • Pangaea • Ring of Fire • Mid-Ocean Ridge • Gulf Stream
Clouds form when water vapor in the air • Condenses around dust particles • Rises and disappears • Rises too high to fall back • Encounters a warm front
Condense around dust particles (vapor to liquid) Evaporation: liquid to vapor (boil/melt)
