Which term refers to the point in Earthâs orbit at which it is closest to the Sun?
It is when a day has the longest period of daylight and shortest night of the year in the hemisphere.
Which term refers to the point in Earthâs orbit at which is farthest to the Sun?
How many seasons are there in the Philippines?
It refers to the equal daylight and darkness in different places on Earth.
It is the movement of Earth around the Sun.
It is the path that the Earth follows as it revolves around the Sun.
How many days does it take for the Earth to complete one revolution?
It is the turning of the Earth on its axis.
It refers to an imaginary circle that passes through the north and the south poles.
meteor meteorite meteoroid Milky Way moon Neptune orbit physical characteristics Pluto revolve / revolution rotate / rotation Saturn solar system Sun Uranus Venus Essential Understandings (Content Elaboration): â Planets in the solar system orbit the sun. Some of the planets have one or more orbiting moons. Earth is a planet that has a moon. The moon orbits Earth. Gravitational forces between the sun and its planets cause the planets to orbit the sun. Gravitational forces between a planet and its moon(s) cause the moon(s) to orbit the planet. If no forces were present, planets and moons would continue their motion toward outer space without changes in speed or direction. However, gravitational forces between the sun and each planet continuously change the planetâs direction so it remains in orbit. In the same way, gravitational forces between each moon and its planet continuously change the moonâs direction so it remains in orbit. 6.2 The student will investigate and understand that the solar system is organized and the various bodies in the solar system interact. Key ideas include matter is distributed throughout the solar system; planets have different sizes and orbit at different distances from the sun; gravity contributes to orbital motion; and the understanding of the solar system has developed over time. 6.3 The student will investigate and understand that there is a relationship between the sun, Earth, and the moon. Key ideas include Earth has unique properties; the rotation of Earth in relationship to the sun causes day and night; the movement of Earth and the moon in relationship to the sun causes phases of the moon; Earthâs tilt as it revolves around the sun causes the seasons; and the relationship between Earth and the moon is the primary cause of tides.Motions of the earthMS-ESS1-4: Geological Time Scale - Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence from rock strata for how the geologic time scale is used to organize Earth's 4.6 billion-year-old history. MS-ESS2-1: Convection of Magma - Develop a model to describe the cycling of Earth's materials and the flow of energy that drives this process. MS-ESS2-2: Plate Movement Types - Construct an explanation based on evidence for how geoscience processes have changed Earth's surface at varying times and spatial scales. MS-ESS2-3: Determine Past Plate Movement - Analyze and interpret data on the distribution of fossils and rocks, continental shapes, and seafloor structures to provide evidence of the past plate motions.MOTION OF THE EARTH MOON AND SUNSCIENCE 6 - Q4 - M4 : Motion of the Earth And its Effects SCIENCE 6- Q4 â M4 Motion of the Earth And its EffectsCreate a quiz with the following questions and answersConvection is⌠The rising motion of warm air A large volume of air A boundary between two different air masses The weight of the Earthâs atmosphere over an area What are isobars? Storms with strong winds, heavy rains, lightning, and thunder Lines on a map to show high and low pressure The study of elevation This front is associated with thunderstorms, heavy rain, snow, and cooler temperatures. Warm front Stationary front Cold front Occluded front What is a barometer? A tool used to measure temperature An instrument used to measure wind speed An instrument used to measure humidity An instrument used to measure air pressure What is a tornado? Storms with strong winds, heavy rains, lightning, and thunder Large, rotating tropical weather systems A rapidly spinning column of air that has touched the ground What is topography? The study of elevation Lines on a map to show high and low pressure The condition of the atmosphere at a given place and time What are air masses? Large, rotating tropical weather systems The study of elevation A large volume of air with the same temperature What is transpiration? The process of a liquidâs surface changing into a gas The process of a gas changing into a liquid The movement of water through the soil The process of water vapor being released by plants. What is nitrification? The process bacteria use to convert nitrogen gas into ammonium ions The process of turning ammonium ions into nitrites and nitrates. The uptake of nitrates in the soil by the roots of plants. The process of turning nitrates into nitrogen gas Fun Fact: Carbon makes up ___ of your mass. 30% 18% 50% 6% What are the reactants of photosynthesis? Carbon dioxide and water Glucose and oxygen What are the reactants of cellular respiration? Carbon dioxide and water Glucose and oxygen What is a storm surge? Flooding caused by hurricanes Region of air where the air pressure is low Any product of the condensation of water vapor High pressure is⌠A region of air where the air pressure is greater than that of the surrounding area A region of air where the air pressure is lower than that of the surrounding area. Low pressure is⌠A region of air where the air pressure is greater than that of the surrounding area A region of air where the air pressure is lower than that of the surrounding area. What causes global winds? Photosynthesis The process carbon goes through Uneven heating of the Earth What can humans do to reduce carbon emissions? We can use renewable energy (ex. solar power) We can use non-renewable energy (ex. fossil fuels) Carbon can form stable bonds with many elements and and makes up the backbone of major macromolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and ___ Nucliec acids Glucose Oxygen Nitrogen What weather is associated with low-pressure systems? Bad weather (ex. Cloudy weather) Good weather (ex. Sunny weather) What is fossilization? The burning of fossil fuels The process where fungi and bacteria decompose dead organisms Dead organisms form fossil fuels over thousands and millions of years What is the first step in the formation of tornadoes? Rising air from the ground pushes up on the swirling air and tips it over A large thunderstorm occurs in a cumulonimbus cloud The funnel grows longer and stretches towards the ground The funnel of swirling air begins to suck up more warm air from the ground What is the difference between thunderstorms and regular storms? Thunderstorms have thunder while regular storms donât Regular storms have thunder while thunderstorms donât There is no difference What are hurricanes? Rapidly spinning columns of air touch the ground Large, rotating tropical weather systems Storms with strong winds, heavy rains, lightning, and thunderstorms What is not a hurricane fact? They are the most powerful storms on earth They have an average wind speed of 120-180 km/h They lose their power when they travel over cooler waters or land Storm surges cause the most damages What is the difference between weather and climate? Weather is long-term while climate is short-term Climate is long-term while weather is short-term There is no difference
