  3. What are the components of the electromagnetic spectrum? Radio, micro, infrared Visible light Ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma

  4. When all members of a species die and none remain, the species is said to be___________. extinct

  5. White halo of the sun that can be seen during a solar eclipse? corona

  6. List three galaxy shapes. Irregular, elliptical, spiral

  7. A meteoroid that completely burns up in Earth’s atmosphere? meteor

  8. Similar organisms that can mate and produce fertile offspring? species

  9. During which moon phases does a spring tide take place? New and full moon

  10. Of the EMS, which has higher frequency, ultraviolet or violet light? Ultraviolet

  11. Gradual change in a species over time is called? evolution

  12. How long does it take for the Earth to complete one rotation? 24 hrs or 1 day

  13. An object that orbits around the earth is called a____________? satellite

  14. What moon phase is shown in the picture? Waxing Gibbous

  15. What type of rock is made from cooled and crystallized magma or lava? Igneous Rock “igneous”=fire

  16. What is the name of the instrument used to record seismic activity? Seismograph

  17. What is the role of the iris? Expands and contracts to adjust amount of light allowed to enter the eye through the pupil

  18. Movement of one object around another is called? revolution

  19. A trait that helps an animal survive and reproduce. adaptation

  20. How must the sun, Earth, and moon be lined up to create a neap tide? Right angle (1st and 3rd qtrs)

  21. A sound wave is an example of what type of wave? Mechanical wave

  22. What happens when oceanic crust and continental crust collide? More dense oceanic crust subducts under the continental crust and “remelts”

  23. What two things are required for the formation of a fossil? Hard parts Buried quickly in soft mud

  24. Scientist that came up with the idea of continental drift? Alfred Wegener

  25. What type of igneous rock makes up the ocean floor? basalt

  26. What section of the ear includes the hammer, anvil, and stirrup? Middle

  27. What layer of the Earth is responsible for continental drift/plate tectonics? Asthenosphere; remember Ooblek??

  28. Name the planets in order from the sun out. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune

  29. What is the law of superposition? Oldest rocks are deepest; Youngest are on top.

  30. What are three different seismic waves? Primary wave, Secondary wave, Surface wave

  31. The two times a year when day and night are equal. Vernal and autumnal equinox
