When tectonic plates interact with one another, what are the three ways they can move in relation to each other?

What is the name of the location in the Pacific ocean where the tectonic plates edge is the location of most earthquakes and volcanoes in the world?

What layer of the atmosphere does weather occur in?

In the troposphere, as you move to higher elevations, does the temperature increase or decrease?

Ask a Question

IF....THEN....

1. Independent Variable

2. Dependent Variable

3. Controls

The data you are collecting.

Meniscus

Folded

Plate Tectonics

Pangaea

1. Convergent

2. Divergent

3. Transform

The Ring of Fire

Troposphere

Decrease (it gets colder as you move up in the troposphere)

Convection currents

1. There are no clouds or weather.

2. There are no convection currents that cause wind. (it's a smooth ride)

It absorbs the sun's harmful rays so they don't reach the living things on Earth.

Hydrological Cycle

Evaporation

Condensation

Cold temperature

Hot gases and liquids rise while cold ones sink due to density.  Hot gases and liquids are less dense than their colder ones causing the cold to sink and the hot to rise.

High Pressure

Precipitation

Rain, Snow, Sleet, Hail

Wind

Amount of water vapor in the air.  Hygrometer.
