Plate tectonics
This is the name for the type of boundary where two plates slide past each other horizontally.
What is transform boundary?
This four square scientific tool helps predict the traits for offspring.
What is a punnet square?
This state of matter has a definite form although it takes the form of it's container.
What is a liquid?
A boulder sitting at the top of a cliff possesses this type of potential energy.
What is gravitational energy?
This famous Scientist discovered the three fundamental laws of motion.
Who is Sir Issac Newton?
This type of boundary occurs when two plates move apart, often creating mid-ocean ridges.
What is a divergent boundary?
This man is considered the "father of modern genetics" for his work with pea plants.
In the equation , these are the substances on the left side of the arrow.
What is reactants?
In his Principia, Newton laid out his foundational three laws of this, as related to the effects of force and mass
What is motion?
This paraplegic Scientist made, significant contributions to cosmology and quantum gravity.
Who is Stephen Hawking?
When two continental plates collide at this type of boundary, they form massive mountain ranges.
What is a convergent boundary?
This type of trait is only expressed if an organism is homozygous for that allele.
What is a recessive trait?
This type of reaction, the opposite of synthesis, occurs when a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances.
What is decomposition?
This force, which slows down moving objects, is always in the opposite direction of motion.
What is friction?
This Scientist pioneered research on radioactivity, discovering radium and polonium; first woman to win a Nobel Prize.
Who is Marie Curie?
This specific process occurs at convergent boundaries when a denser oceanic plate sinks beneath a less dense continental plate.
What is subduction?
This term describes an organism that has two different alleles for a trait, such as "Tt."
What is heterozygous?
This law states that because atoms aren't created or destroyed in a reaction, the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products.
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?
In a car engine, this specific type of stored energy is converted into kinetic energy.
What is chemical energy?
This Scientist is called the "Father of modern observational astronomy," who supported Copernicanism and studied kinetics
Who is Galileo Galilei?
This 10,000-mile-long, mostly underwater mountain range and divergent plate boundary lies in the Atlantic Ocean.
What is the mid-atlantic ridge?
This term describes a trait, like blood type, where both alleles are fully expressed at the same time.
What is codominance?
In an atom, these subatomic particles have a negative charge and orbit the nucleus.
What are electrons?
These two physical quantities determine the amount of kinetic energy an object has.
What is mass and velocity?
This Scientist developed pasteurization and vaccines for rabies and anthrax.
Who is Louis Pasteur?
