What are some ways that glaciers
can affect the surface of the
Earth?
Glaciers can:
-erode rocks and sediment on a
mountainside.
-push sediment on top of other
sediment, creating layers.
-breakdown different landforms.
-deliver sediment into an area
creating deposition.
What is a renewable resource?
List 3 examples.
A renewable resource is something that can
be replaced in a relatively short period of
time.
Examples include:
-water
-air
-plants
-trees
What is a nonrenewable

A nonrenewable resource is something
that cannon be replaced in a short amount
of time. Once it is gone….it is gone
forever.Examples include:
-fossil fuels
(oil, coal, &
natural gas)
-gems (minerals)
What is an inexhaustible resource?
List 3 examples.
An inexhaustible resource is something
that people cannot use up.
Examples include:
-wind
-waves (ocean tides)
-sun
What is a natural resource?
What are some natural resources
that you use everyday?
A natural resource is something that we get
from the Earth.
Some natural resources we use are:
-fresh water for showers/baths
-fruits to eat
-electricity created from fossil fuels

What are the names of the
planets in their order from the
Sun?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
The Sun is the center of our universe.
We currently have 8 identified planets in
our solar system.
What are some facts about our
solar system?
Answers can include:
-There are 8 planets
-The Sun is the center of our universe
-Our 8 planets rotate on their axes as they
revolve around the Sun.
-The Sun’s gravity keeps all the planets in
orbit.
-One million Earth’s could fit inside the Sun.
What are some facts about
our Sun?
Answers can include: (but not limited to)
-It is about 4.5 billion years old.
-It is the center of our universe.
-It has dark, cool areas called sunspots.
-It has hot explosions called solar flares.
-It is made of hydrogen and helium gases.
-It is a medium sized star (compared to other stars).
Our moon travels around the Earth every
28 days. What do we see in our night sky
during the new moon phase?
During a new
moon, we cannot
see the moon at all
from Earth. It
appears as if the
moon has
disappeared from
the night sky.
Erosion is the process of
moving sediment from one
location to another.
Erosion often occurs on
hillsides. What are some
things that we can do to
slow down erosion?
Answers can include:
-plant grass on the hillside. The roots help
to hold the soil in place.
-Place large rocks on the hillside to hold
the soil in place.
Create a drainage system so that rain
cannot move the soil as quickly.
What is the main source of energy

we see a change from a liquid to a
gas?

In what part of the water cycle do
we see a change from a gas to a
liquid?
Condensation
What do the molecules look
like when they change from a
gas to a liquid?
What is an example
of a daily cycle?
What is an example
of a yearly cycle?
Daily Cycles
Yearly Cycle
One rotation of the Earth

revolution of
the Earth
around the
Sun.

that occur on a regular basis. (You
can count on the happening every
day, month, or year)
Answers Include:
-Seasons (winter, spring, summer, fall)

Explain weathering, erosion and
deposition.
Erosion is the process of moving
sediment from one place to another.
Weathering is the breaking down of large
rocks into smaller rocks. Eventually, soil
is formed this way.
Deposition is the process of dropping off
sediment into a new location. Deltas are
formed because of deposition.
While out hiking, Angela found
several oyster shells and fossils
on the top of a hill. What
conclusions might she make
about this particular hill?
Angela could conclude that
the hill was underwater at
one time.

forces?
What are some forces that could be
both constructive and destructive?
Constructive Forces:
Destructive Forces:
Volcanoes
Glaciers
Earthquakes
Both:
Moving water
Wind
How are fossil fuels formed?
Fossil Fuels formed from buried
remains of plant and animal life that
was changed by millions of years of
pressure and heat.
What are three ways in which
the moon and the Earth are the
same?
Answers can include:
-Both have valleys
-Both have mountains
-Both have gravity (moon has much
