Long term variation in weather
What is CLIMATE?
Rising air currents over a mountain dropping
precipitation.
What is Elevation
or Relief Precipitation?
Causes Lake Effect Snow at Watertown, New York
What is Proximity to Large Bodies of Water AND
Prevailing Wind Direction?
Factors that contribute colder temperatures at the
North Pole
What are (1) curved shape of the Earth, (2) latitude and the size of the land mass to be heated and (3) volume of
atmosphere heat must pass through to reach Earth is
greater at North Pole?
Ways ocean currents move
What are (1) surface winds pushing water along the
surface and (2) convection currents of rising hot water
and falling cold water creating flow?
Three types of rock
What are igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic?
The physical process that caused igneous rock to form
What is cooling?
Rock type characterized by layers of materials
interlocked together (e.g., marble)
What is Metamorphic?
This process changes rocks to magma
What is melting?
Rock type that is sediments compressed together
What is sedimentary?
This current forms when the hot magma rises and the cool
magma falls.
What is Convection Current?
The process in which one tectonic plate moves under
another tectonic plate.
What is Subduction
Process whereby tectonic plates are moving away from
each other.
What is Divergence?
The area of the Earth’s core containing magma.
What is the Mantle?
The location where two plates slide past one another.
What is a Transform Plate Boundary?
Canada`s oldest landform
What is the Canadian Shield?
Number of lowlands in Canada
What is three?
Canada`s smallest landform region.
What isGreat Lakes – St. Lawrence
Lowland?
Number of mountain ranges in the Western Cordillera
landform region
What is three: Rocky, Columbia and Coastal
Mountain Ranges?
Canada`s oldest highland landform region
What isthe Appalachian Mountains?
A fault that runs along the boundary between two
tectonic plates.
What is a Transform Fault?
Wegener’s theory that the continents float and move in a
constant motion.
What is Continental Drift?
Condition in which the Earth's surface is worn away by the action of water and
wind
What is EROSION?
The supercontinent that existed in the Paleozoic era
What is the Pangaea?
Enormous pressure that causes the Earth to uplift
and buckle.
What is Folding?
