Match the description with the correct and corresponding vocabulary term. Question 64 options:

Erosion

Plate tectonics

Earthquake

Subduction

Weathering

Volcano

Continental drift

1.

This is the movement of soil, mud and rock due to the downward movement of wind, water or ice.

2.

This is a landform that is formed by the eruption of magma through a vent from the interior of the Earth.

3.

This is a geologic even that occurs when tectonic plates are displaced violently.

4.

This is the geologic theory where the cooler surface of the Earth move slowly over the hotter layer underneath.

5.

This is the movement of Earth's continents, relative to each other, due to plate tectonics. Wegener stated that Earth's continents were once joined in a supercontinent, Pangaea, and broke apart about 200 million years ago and slowly moved to the present locations.

6.

This is the breaking down of rocks, soils, and minerals through direct contact with the Earth's atmosphere.

7.

This is an area where two tectonic plates move towards one another, with one plate sliding underneath the other plate.

Weathering = 6

Volcano = 2

Plate tectonics = 4

Subduction = 7

Continental drift = 5

Erosion = 3

Earthquake = 1

gametes or germ cells are haploid cells (example: sperm and ova) containing only one set (or n) number of chromosomes and autosomal or somatic cells are diploid cells containing 2n number of chromosomes.

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
