Rilles and Mares

What is a feature due to lunar volcanoes?

$400

Erosion (by the Colorado River)

The Grand Canyon is formed by what kind of process?

$600

Two tectonic plates colliding

Mountain chains such as the Himalayans are formed due to what process?

$1000trench

What feature is formed in the deep parts of the ocean where dense oceanic plate subducts

beneath lighter continental plate

$800

Rift valleys, trenches, mountains, volcanic chains, faults,mid-ocean ridges

What are three surface features due to plate tectonics?

$200

Spring

The type of tide with the largest tidal variation is?

$400

small

Would 1st quarter moon phase have a large tidal range or a small tidal range?

$600

The moon lacks an atmosphere, wind and water

The rate of erosion on the moon is less than Earth

because?

$800

Yellowstone and Hawaii

Examples of Hot spots on Earth are

$1000

Explain where is the newest material in the Earth’s crust found?

In the mid-ocean ridges where plate tectonics constantly extrudes new lava

$200

Jupiter

Which planet’s mass is more than the mass of all the other planets put together?

$400

No, the denser planets lie closer to the sun

Is this statement true-planetary density increases with increasing distances to the sun? Why or why not?

$600

Venus and the Gas Giants

Which planets’ rotations are difficult to determine due to their atmospheres

$800

Which planets have rings around their equator?

The Jovian planets

$1000

Terrestrial, Jovian

_____________________ are planets that are of denser materials such as iron and silicates. ________________ are less dense and made of gases like the sun.

$200

Impact Theory

Which theory currently best explains the moon’s origin?

$400

Accretion

The term for the growth of a celestial object by accumulating

matter is called?

$600

Spins faster due to angular momentum

Once the solar nebula contracts what does it do next?

$800

The terrestrial planets are of heavier elements and smaller, the Jovians are

lighter, larger and have more moons and faster rotational periods

What are three reasons the planets are split into two

groups?

$1000

A nebula collapses, spins faster and flattens into a disk. The center of the disk heats up forming protosun and proto

planets. Protoplanets collect material (accrete), their gravity takes over and they become planetesimals. These

collide and become planets. Leftover debris became asteroids and comets.

Describe the theory of the origin of the solar system.

$200

Between Mars and Jupiter in the asteroid belt

Most asteroids are found

$400

Where is the Kuiper belt found

Beyond Neptune

$600

From a spacecraft sent to an asteroid

What has given us the most detailed look of an asteroid?

$800

A Kuiper belt object, a dwarf planet and a plutoid.

What is Pluto considered?

$1000

Describe the orbits of asteroids and Kuiper belt

objects

Both orbit near the ecliptic plane,Asteroids are closer in between mars and Jupiter while KPO are

past Neptune

$200

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune

The jovian planets are?

$400

Terrestrial Planets

The asteroids are most like________________ ________________ in composition and density.

$600

The process of transfer heat from hotter to cooler levels

What is convection?

$800

Most interplanetary debris was swept up during the formation of the solar system

The fact that the rate of cratering has died down over time shows that

$1000

Any theory of solar system formation must address what issues?

High density of terrestrial vs. Jovian.Why do Jovians have thick atmospheres?Why are asteroids made of primitive materials.Why are comets icy?
