Earth and Energy Quiz

Help the science crew solve Earth-and-energy puzzles. Read each question carefully.

Energy in action

Energy can be stored or moving, and it can change from one form to another.

1.A skateboarder waits at the top of a ramp. Which type of energy does the skateboarder have mainly because of their height?
  • Kinetic energy
  • Gravitational potential energy
  • Sound energy
  • Light energy
2.The skateboarder rolls down the ramp and speeds up. Explain how the energy stored because of the skateboarder's position and the energy of their motion change.
3.A rubber band is pulled back and held before it is released. What kind of energy is stored in the stretched rubber band?

Earth's journey through space

Earth spins on its tilted axis and travels around the Sun. The tilt of Earth's axis stays pointed in nearly the same direction as Earth moves along its orbit.

4.Earth completes one rotation on its axis in about 24 hours. What daily pattern does this rotation cause?
5.Earth takes about one year to travel around the Sun. What is the name for this trip, and what is the name for the path Earth follows?
6.Earth's axis is tilted as Earth travels around the Sun. Why does this cause different parts of Earth to have seasons during the year?

Moon and ocean clues

The Moon's gravity helps create tides. Moon phases also give clues about how the Sun, Earth, and Moon are lined up.

7.The Moon's gravity pulls on Earth's oceans. What is the name for the regular rise and fall of ocean water?
8.During which two Moon phases do spring tides usually occur, when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are approximately aligned?
9.During which two Moon phases do neap tides usually occur, when the Sun and Moon pull in different directions relative to Earth?
  • New moon and full moon
  • First-quarter and third-quarter moons
  • Only during a lunar eclipse
  • Every night at midnight
10.A classmate says, “The Moon's gravity makes just one high tide each day.” Is this statement accurate? Explain your answer.
