MISSIONS

Introduction

Our Planet is called "the blue planet" because it's made up mostly of water. It has different layers. Some of these layers are under the surface. and some layers are around the Earth. Our planet is in danger. We need YOU to save our beautiful home.!!All you need to do is accomplish 4 missions in order to get the code to give the planet some extra time.Ready to help???

Imaginary Lines

On maps and globes there are imaginary lines. We use these lines to describe and find a location on the Earth's surface.These imaginary lines are a bit of a mess right now.... We need YOU to organize this chaos. Do your best and make things clear!By the end of this mission you will know about the Earth's imaginary lines., and you will get the first number of the needed code.

Introduction

Missions

Code

Watch the video and pay attention to all the details.

Pay attention to get the information you need to be able to accomplish your mission.

LET'S GO

01. Meridians measure longitude. What of these two pictures represents longitude?

Click on the right picture.

02. Parallels measure latitude. What of these two pictures represents latitude?

Click on the right picture.

03. Longitude means distance from the Greenwich Meridian and latitude means the distance from the Equator.

True

False

04. Meridians are measured in degrees (º) North or South. Parallels are measured in degrees (º) East or West.

True

False

05. The Equator divides the Earth into the Western Hemisphere and the Eastern Hemisphere.

True

False

The lines are right in their place and you can carry on moving around the planet.

Congratulations!

You've got your first code

BACK

You need to do it right in order to save our planet!

Oh, no!

Rotation is the movement of the Earth on its axis.. It spins around. The Earth takes 24 hours to make a complete rotation. This causes day and night. If the Earth stops rotating, there will always be night on one half of the Earth and always day in the opposite half. We need someone as smart as you to help our Planet Earth.By the end of this mission you will have checked how much you know about rotation and will get the second number of the required code.

The Earth's Movements: Rotation

Daytime

01. What time of the day is it when the Earth faces the sun?

Night time

Midday

orbit the Sun.

02. The Earth takes 24 hours to...

orbit the Moon.

make a complete rotation.

tides

03. What does the Earth's Rotation movement cause?

day and night

seasons

semicircular.

04. The movement of Rotation is...

clockwise.

anticlockwise.

Orbits

05. The Earth rotates on its axis. What is a synonym for rotates?

Spins

Revolves

Rotation movement is guaranteed and there is still a difference between day & night all along the planet!!.

Congratulations!

You've got your second code!

keep moving

The Earth has stopped rotating around its axis and global overheating has occurred!!

back

Oh, No!

Revolution is the movement of the Earth around the Sun. The Earth takes 365 days and 6 hours to orbit the Sun. This movement causes the seasons.The Earth's axis is starting to be straight and therefore the seasons are changing, and the Earth is now moving.

03. How long does it take the Earth to make a complete orbit of the Sun?

Choose the right picture.

04. In the Revolution movement, the Earth orbits around ...

Choose the right picture.

05. The Earth's axis is tilted. What is a synonym of tilted?

Choose the right picture.

The Earth is still moving around the sun allowing nature to take advantage of the seasons. Air is clean. Another step to save the planet!

Congratulations!

You've got the third code!

The Earth's axis is no longer tiltedand there are no seasons.Animals and plants are dying of suffocation from extreme temperatures!

Oh, no!

The Earth is crashing into the Sun!!!!

The Earth has three main parts: the atmosphere, the hydrosphere and the geosphere.By the end of this mission you will know about the Earth's Layers and you will have stopped the melting of the ice at the poles.

Atmosphere

Introduction

Missions

The atmosphere is the layer of gases around the Earth. It's mainly made yp of nitrogen and oxygen.

Code

The hydrosphere is all the water on Earth.There is underground water and water on the surface. This water can be liquid, solid or gas. Most water on Earth is liquid.

The Hydrosphere The hydrosphere is all the water on Earth. There is underground water and water on the surface. This water can be liquid, solid or gas. Most water on Earth is liquid.

The Atmosphere The atmosphere is the layer of gases around the Earth. It's mainly made up of nitrogen and oxygen.

The geosphere The geosphere is the solid part of the Earth. It includes the rocks and minerals on Earth. The geosphsre is divided into layers.

Structure of the Earth The geosphere (the solid part of the Earth) is divided into the crust, the mantle and the core (the outer core and the inner core). Each layer has a unique chemical composition and physical state.

The solid part of the Earth is the Hydrosphere.

The layer of gases around the Earth is the Atmposphere.

All the water on Earth is the Geosphere.

01. True or False?

The gases around the Earth are made up of nitrogen and oxygen.

The are no gases around the Earth.

The gases around the Earth are only made up of oxygen.

02. True or False?

The crust is made of solid rock.

03. True or False?

Read and click on the true stament.

The outer layer of the Earth is made up of solid rock and the inner layer is mainly made of iron.

The inner layer of the Earth is made up of solid rock and the outer layer is mainly made of iron.

The mantle is made of solid rock.

04. True or False?

Read and click on the true stament.

The mantle is made of solid rock.

The crust is made of magma.

The core is the hottest layer.
