highest altitude?
$100 Answer: Layers of the Atmosphere
Thermosphere
$200 Question: Layers of the Atmosphere
What is the name of the layer in the stratosphere that protects humans
from the UV rays of the Sun?
$200 Answer: Layers of the Atmosphere
Ozone layer
$300 Question: Layers of the Atmosphere
What are three things that are found
ONLY in the troposphere?
$300 Answer: Layers of the Atmosphere
Living thingsPollutionWeather
$400 Question: Layers of the Atmosphere
Compare the temperature AND air pressure of the troposphere and
mesosphere
$400 Answer: Layers of the Atmosphere
Troposphere has a higher temperature and air
pressure in comparison to
the mesosphere
$500 Question: Layers of the Atmosphere
Order the layers of the atmosphere from
LOWEST air pressure to HIGHEST

$100 Question: Earth’s Seasons
What is it about the Earth that
causes seasons to occur?
$100 Answer: Earth’s Seasons
The Earth’s axis is tilted
23.5º
$200 Question: Earth’s SeasonsFill in the blanks: The season in the
Northern Hemisphere is _______ because it is receiving _________ rays
SUNN
S
$200 Answer: Earth’s Seasons
SummerDirect
$300 Question: Earth’s Seasons
Explain why it is always hot at the
equator
$300 Answer: Earth’s Seasons
Sun always hits the Earth directly
$400 Question: Earth’s Seasons
What is the difference between direct and indirect light?
$400 Answer: Earth’s Seasons
Direct light is concentrated and strong, while indirect light is spread out and weak
$500 Question: Earth’s Seasons
Why do the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere experience different seasons at the same time?
$500 Answer: Earth’s Seasons
One hemisphere is always tilted toward the Sun and the other is tilted away
$100 Question: Plate Tectonics
What are the names of the three plate boundaries?
$100 Answer: Plate Tectonics
DivergentTransformConvergent
$200 Question: Plate Tectonics
Contrast how plates move in a divergent
and convergent boundary.
$200 Answer: Plate Tectonics
Divergent: plates move awayConvergent: plate move together
$300 Question: Plate Tectonics
What are the three landforms created at a convergent boundary?
$300 Answer: Plate Tectonics
Volcanoes, Trenches, Mountains
$400 Question: Plate Tectonics
The deepest point in the world’s ocean is 6 miles below sea level (that’s 29,000 ft!!!) and happens to be at a plate boundary. Explain how this point was formed.
$400 Answer: Plate Tectonics
Ocean plate sinks below a continental plate, causing a deep hole (convergent boundary)
$500 Question: Plate Tectonics
Explain how a volcano is formed in this diagram
$500 Answer: Plate Tectonics
Ocean plate sinks below continental plate. Plate melts and hot magma rises to form a volcano.
$100 Question: Weathering
What type of weathering causes material to
breakdown without changing the material?
$100 Answer: Weathering
Mechanical
$200 Question: Weathering
What are three things that cause mechanical weathering?
$200 Answer: Weathering
Water
Ice
Plant roots
$300 Question: Weathering
Describe the difference between chemical and
mechanical weathering.
$300 Answer: Weathering
Chemical weathering changes the material into something new, while mechanical weathering
only breaks material down into smaller pieces
$400 Question: WeatheringDescribe what kind of weathering is occurring in this picture.
$400 Answer: Weathering
Chemical weathering: air is reacting with rock
$500 Question: Weathering
Give an example of how water can cause chemical weathering
$500 Answer: Weathering
Water reacts with rock to dissolve the rock
$100 Question: Lagniappe
What is happening to the universe to provide evidence for the Big Bang Theory?
$100 Answer: Lagniappe
Universe is expanding
$200 Question: Lagniappe
What do we know about the length of Mars’s year versus
the length of Earth’s year? Why?
$200 Answer: Lagniappe
Mars’s year is longer because it has to
travel farther around the Sun.
$300 Question: Lagniappe
What was one MAJOR contributor to making the
atmosphere what it is today?
$300 Answer: Lagniappe
PlantsOR
Volcanoes
$400 Question: Lagniappe
Order these words from SMALLEST to LARGEST:
Solar SystemUniverse
PlanetGalaxy
$400 Answer: Lagniappe
PlanetSolar SystemGalaxyUniverse
$500 Question: Lagniappe
What does the “redshift” mean?
$500 Answer: Lagniappe
Light shift to red as the galaxies are moving farther away from one
another
Final Jeopardy
What is convection?
Final Jeopardy Answer
Describes movement of material in a circle: the warm rises and the cold sinks
