What occurs when the plates of rock that form Earths surface slide back and forth?
An EarthQuake Accurs
What is a spring of heated groundwater that erupts with force from the earths surface?
A spring of heated groundwater that erupts with force from the earth's surface is called a geyser. This occurs when water deep underground is heated by magma, leading to a build-up of pressure that results in periodic eruptions. Famous examples of geysers include Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park and Strokkur in Iceland.
The surface of the earth moves violently in an what?
The surface of the earth moves violently in an earthquake. This occurs when there is a sudden release of energy in the earths crust. Anything from a volcano to a tectonic plate shift can cause an earthquake.
What is the earths greatest density and this occurs in?
The Earth's core.
What occurs when the earths crust is squeezed into smaller space?
compression
What occurs because of unequal heating of earths surface?
wind
What process occurs when the sun heats water on the earths surface?
evaporation
The earths surface where most earthquake damage occurs is called the?
Epicenter
What is a physical process that mainly occurs above the earths surface?
Erosion, weathering
What happens along a fault under the earths surface when an earthquake occurs?
it get weak
How is the atmosphere near earths surface heated from below?
The atmosphere near Earth's surface is heated from below primarily through the process of conduction. This occurs as the Earth's surface absorbs solar radiation and heats up, transferring this heat to the adjacent air molecules through direct contact. As the air warms, it becomes less dense and rises, creating convective currents that distribute the heat throughout the atmosphere.
What is it called when a glass cools down causing the air to vapor?
Condensation occurs when warm, moist air comes into contact with a cooler surface, causing the air to lose its heat and release water vapor which then condenses into droplets on the surface of the glass.
Which type of rock directly on the weathering that occurs on earths surface?
Sedimentary rockSedimentary rockSedimentary rock
What occurs when the plates of rock that form Earths surface slide back and forth?
An EarthQuake Accurs
The point on earths surface right above the spot where the first movement of an earthquake occurs is called earthquakes?
Focus
What event on earths surface occurs in the US of America more than in any other part of the world?
tornadoes
What are 2 ways the earths atmosphere get heated?
The Earth's atmosphere is heated through solar radiation, where sunlight is absorbed by the Earth's surface and then re-radiated as heat into the atmosphere. Atmospheric heating also occurs through the greenhouse effect, where certain gases trap heat in the atmosphere by preventing it from escaping into space.
