What is being formed below?

• Coal

What is being formed below?

• Shapes of continents look like they fit together

• Rock types and mountain ranges match up

• Fossils match up on continents separated by an ocean

• Warm climate fossils found in Antarctica, glacier striations found in warm climates

What evidence supports the idea of Continental Drift?

Which process in the water cycle forms clouds?

Condensation

What is the difference between an artesian and pumping well?

Water flows freely from an artesian well that is dug into a confined aquifer. A pumping well is dug into an unconfined aquifer.

What is the magnitude of a star?

• Brightness

• 1st quarter

What moon phase occurs between a waxing crescent and waxing gibbous?

• Light year

What unit of measurement is most commonly used for measuring distances between objects

in the universe?

• Air pressure is higher at the poles (air is cold and dry) and lower at the equator (warm and humid)

How is air pressure different at the poles compared to the equator?

Match the life form to the geologic era during which it first appeared

• Paleozoic• Cenozoic• Pre-Cambrian• Mesozoic

• Bacteria• Mammals• Reptiles• Fish

Match the feature to the correct VA province

• Karst topography• Coal• Deposition of

sediment• Metamorphic rocks• Igneous rocks

•Nitrogen – 78%

What is the most abundant gas in Earth’s atmosphere?

• Seafloor spreading at a divergent boundary. New ocean crust is forming at the center of the mid-ocean ridge. Alternating rock layers provide evidence of magnetic pole reversals.

Explain what is happening in the diagram
