ROCK TRANSFORMATION
Thermal Energy
Natural Selection
Evolution
Plate Tectonics
100
If igneous rock is brought to the surface, it can turn into sedimentary rock through this specific two-step process.
Weathering/erosion and cementation/compaction
100
what type of energy is transferred through direct contact?
conduction
100
A process where organisms better adapted to their environment survive and produce more offspring
natural selection
100
This naturalist developed the theory of evolution by natural selection
Charles Darwin
100
When two plates slide past each other horizontally, they form this type of boundary
transform boundary
200
What are the types of rocks?
igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic
200
The transfer of heat through fluids (liquids/gases) due to density differences.
convection
200
An inherited characteristic that increases an organism's chance of survival
adaptation
200
What are remnants of ancient organisms, such as bones or impressions, that provide evidence of species change over time?
fossils
200
What plate boundary is this?
Convergent Plate Boundary
300
This process, often caused by water or wind, breaks down rocks into smaller pieces.
weathering
300
The transfer of heat through empty space via electromagnetic waves.
Radiation
300
The differences between individuals that contribute to natural selection
genetic variation
300
These are body parts on different organisms that share a common function but have a different structure, suggesting different ancestors.
analogous structures
300
This boundary occurs when one plate sinks beneath another, resulting in subduction
convergent boundary
400
This type of energy is responsible for driving the melting process that creates igneous rock.
heat from the Earth's interior
400
True or False: An iceberg has more thermal energy than a hot cup of tea
true
400
This type of change involves an organism's behavior, like migrating or hunting in packs
Behavior Adaptation
400
Similar structures in different species that suggest a common ancestor, such as the limbs of humans, bats, and whales.
homologous structures
400
The San Andreas Fault is a famous example of this type of boundary
transform boundary
500
True or False: Any type of rock can transform into any other type of rock because of plate motion.
True
500
This type of heat transfer occurs when you burn your hand touching a hot stove.
conduction
500
This happens when a population has no individuals capable of surviving an environmental change
extinction
500
Many creatures, including birds and bats, developed this ability to escape predators, potentially beginning with hopping and gliding
Flight
500
This force is responsible for causing igneous rock to become buried and subjected to heat and pressure.
