According to the diagram, what will form when sedimentary rock is exposed to heat and/or pressure?

  • magma
  • igneous rock
  • sediments
  • metamorphic rock
In order for life as we know it to exist, a planet must have ______________________
sc-6 sb-7-Earth and Life Scienceimg_no 18.jpg
  • heat
  • animals
  • liquid water
  • solar energy
Earth’s atmosphere contains water vapor and carbon dioxide. These greenhouse gases are important because they -

  • are substances animals need to breathe.
  • trap thermal energy in the atmosphere.
  • protect against magnetic particles.
  • create Earth’s gravitational field.
What is the habitable zone?
sc-6 sb-7-Earth and Life Scienceimg_no 20.jpg
  • A zone with the correct distance away from a star
  • A zone in space where water turns into vapor
  • A zone where life can not be sustained
  • A zone in space where water is frozen
If a planet was positioned half in & half out of the habitable zone it would be able to...

  • Sustain life because it half of the amount of water will be in liquid form.
  • Possibly sustain life based on having some water being in liquid form & geothermal activity.
  • Not support life because half of the water is frozen.
  • Partially support life, but half of the organisms will freeze when the planet rotates halfway out of the habitable zone.
Which is NOT considered one of the four main earth systems?
  • atmosphere
  • hydrosphere
  • exosphere
  • biosphere
A system is...
  • a moving object
  • a collection of interacting parts
  • a way of doing things
  • something made by humans
The four subsystems of Earth are...
  • the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere
  • the inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust
  • Jimmy Johns, Subway, Potbelly, and Firehouse
  • the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere
The natural chemical or physical processes that breaks down rock on Earth's surface.
  • weathering
  • erosion
  • deposition
  • jackhammering
The process by which water, ice, wind or gravity moves weathered rock and soil from one place to another.
  • weathering
  • erosion
  • deposition
  • dumptruck
What are the 3 major types of rocks?
  • Igneous, Metamorphic, Sedimentary
  • Metamorphic, Igneous, Cementation
  • Brown, Red, Gray
  • Streak, Hardness, Breakage
We are part of which subsystem?
  • Atmosphere
  • Biosphere
  • Geosphere
  • Hydrosphere
This rock was formed by smaller pieces of rock that settled at the bottom of a lake millions of years ago. What type of rock is this?
sc-6 sb-7-Earth and Life Scienceimg_no 22.jpg
  • Sedimentary
  • Igneous
  • Metamorphic
The process when rocks break into smaller pieces due to exposure to natural elements is called

  • erosion
  • weathering
  • sediments
The three groups of rocks are classified by
  • How they form
  • Color
  • Grain size
  • Chemical Composition
Rocks are formed by
