Final Jeopardy! Question Physical Geography
Latitudinal Zones
Theory that explains how forces within the
planet create landforms
Plate tectonics
Physical Processes 100
Two plates move across each other at this
Fault
Physical Processes 200
Natural disaster caused by separation, colliding,
subduction, or transformation of plates
Earthquake
Physical Processes 300
Folding or SubductionMountains are formed
when plates do this
Physical Processes 400
Hot magma, gasses and water pour out of an
opening in the earth’s crust, usually on a plate
boundary.
Volcano
Physical Processes 500
The reason for this…
Elevation
LEMPOSA100
Makes the climate in Western Europe warmer
than Canada (at the same latitude)
Ocean Currents
LEMPOSA200
Not necessarily an element of climate, but they do occur regularly in certain parts of the
world and are associated with certain
climates
Storms
LEMPOSA300
The reason why the Mojave Desert is
directly inland from the Sierra Nevada
Mountains
Mountain Barrier (Orographic) Effect
LEMPOSA400
The reason why California stays warm
in the winter and not too hot in the summer
Proximity to Water
LEMPOSA500
This climate zone is found in the upper-mid latitudes near the West
Coast and has temperate evergreen forests
Marine West Coast
Climate Zones100
This climate zone receives less than 10
inches of rain
Desert
Climate Zones200
This climate zone is cold all year, with
permanently frozen ground that only allows moss, lichens, and low
shrubs to grow
Tundra
Climate Zones300
This climate zone is home of the rainforest
Tropical Wet
Climate Zones400
This climate zone contains no vegetation.
Ice cap
Climate Zones500
LeewardThe inner (dry) side of a
mountain range
Concepts100
HydrosphereAll of the water on the
Earth and in the air
Concepts200
Mid-latitudesThe area of the globe with
four seasons
Concepts300
SubductionThe process by which
plate collision results in one plate being drawn down or overridden by
another
Concepts400
High latitudesThe area of the globe with
only one season
Concepts500
DayThe length of time it takes for the earth to spin on its
axis (rotate)
Earth in Space100
Leap YearThe result of the fact that
the Earth’s revolution takes an uneven number
of days.
Earth in Space200
Tilt of the Earth’s axisThe reason why seasons
exist
Earth in Space300
TidesResult of the sun and
moon’s gravitational pull on the Earth
Earth in Space400
West to EastThe direction the earth
rotates
Earth in Space500
The outer boundaries of the region that
experiences only two seasons (low latitudes)
The Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn
