Know the cause of the tides.  Also when does Earth experience neap tides and spring tides.
Remember that convection currents in the mantle drive the movement of tectonic plates.

Fossils, Rocks, puzzle fit, later sea floor spreading
Convergent boundary, ocean trench, volcanoes, mountains

80 degree F ocean for hurricanes to form

Remember that the uneven heating of the Earth causes differences in temperature which cause differences in pressure.  Warm air has a lower pressure and cool air has higher pressure.  Air moves from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure causing wind.

water has a higher specific heat than land and therefore heats up and cools down slower.  Land has a lower specific heat and therefore heats up and cools down faster.


cold fronts, warm fronts, high pressure, low pressure
