Unit 1 - Earth Science and States of MatterBellwork #2

The main divisions of Earth Science include: _1______(study of the solid Earth), _2______(study of the hydrosphere), _3______(study of the atmosphere), _4______(study of human impacts on Earth) and _5______(study of outer space). _6______is anything that has _7______and volume. _8______is a measure of how much space a substance takes up. The smallest unit of matter is an_9______. A substance in which all the atoms have the same structure is called an_10______. There are over 100 of these and they are found on the Periodic Table. Different types of atoms can bond together to form _11______. Matter on Earth is found in 3 different states: _12______have the lowest energy, _13______have a moderate amount of energy, and _14______have the highest energy.

Imaginary lines called _15______are parallel to each other and run east and west around the whole Earth. The _16______is the line of 0° that is halfway between the north and south poles. Lines of _17______run north and south, intersecting at the poles and measure distance east and west of the _18______which is the line of 0°.

There are two different types of crust on the Earth: _19______are made of granite which is _20______dense than basalt, the rock that makes up the _21______. The continents are much _22______and less _23______than the ocean basins.
