These three pieces of
evidence are cited by
climate change scientists.
Name them and explain
how they support the
theory of climate change.
Final Question
What are temperature records,
ice core data, tree ring data,
shrinkage of polar and alpine
glaciers,
and sea level rise?
The difference
between these two
items is just time.
What are climate
and weather?
BOARD
The sun throws
it’s pitch: solar

albedo?
BOARD
You’d definitely
find these in the O
and A horizon and
maybe the B
horizon.
What are plant
roots?
BOARD
Soil doesn’t just
appear out of thin
air, these 5 factors
are to thank for
it’s formation.
What are parent
material, climate,
organisms (aka biotic
factors), topography,
and time?
BOARD
They’re less then
.002mm and hold
water.
What are clay
particles?
BOARD
It’s not unusual.
Dig down and
you’ll find a white
layer under the O
horizon.
What is a spodosol?
BOARD
Good thing it
happened. Now we
know how (and
why) to rotate crops
What is the
dustbowl?
(Do you know why we
rotate crops?) Extra 20
points
BOARD
This is the type of plate
boundary that slides
against another (hint:
one runs through most
of California)
What is a
transform fault
boundary?
BOARD
Think your
Grandpa’s old?
The Earth has been
around for this
long.
What is 4.6 billion
years?
BOARD
This wasn’t really a
disaster for us,

Make your wager.
When some scientists
discovered this, and later
developed this theory, other
scientists said…see told you the

What is the theory
of plate tectonics
and similar rock on
different continents
BOARD
This forms from
cooling magma on
the surface of the
Earth.
What is an

rock?
BOARD
Oh no! Lost my

BOARD
It’s sticky in these
two ways.
What is adhesion
(sticks to other
substances) and
cohesion (sticks to

to a “Day After
Tomorrow” scenario
(worst case scenario)
What are density
differences?
BOARD
These can kill fish
and shut down
shellfish fisheries
(you don’t want to
give this to your
