What is a Transform Boundary (or Strike-Slip Fault)?
The type of tectonic boundary modeled by sliding the top halves of an Oreo cookie past each other.
What is $2.7 g/cm^3$(and it will sink)?

Draw the Lewis structure for a water molecule (H20).
Drawing should show two single bonds between Oxygen and two Hydrogen, and two lone pairs on the Oxygen atom.
What is $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^3$?
The full electron configuration for an atom of Vanadium (V).
What is Boyle's Law?
This law states that if the temperature is held constant, pressure and volume are inversely proportional.
What is the Asthenosphere?
The general term for the underlying layer of the Earth that exhibits plasticity, allowing the rigid lithosphere to move.
What are Fuel, Heat, and Oxygen?
The three components of the "Fire Triangle" required to start and sustain a wildfire.
What is the change of an ion formed by a Group 16 element, such as Oxygen or Sulfur?
What is a 2- ( or negative two) charge?
What is Hund's Rule?
The principle that requires you to place one electron in each 2p orbital before doubling up when drawing the orbital diagram for Nitrogen (N).
What is Charles’ Law? (New Volume $= 16.7 L)
The gas law used to calculate the new volume of a $10.0 L balloon when its temperature is raised from $27.0^C to 227.0^C.
What is crust gets older farther away from the mid-ocean ridge?
The relationship between the color of the oceanic crust and its distance from a mid-ocean ridge, based on a map where red is youngest and dark blue is oldest.
Using dimensional analysis, calculate how many centimeters are equal to $4.5 kilometers
The centimeters (cm) equivalent of $4.5 kilometers (km)
Describe how electrons are involved in the formation of ionic bond versus a covalent bond.
In an ionic bond, electrons are transferred; in a covalent bond, they are shared.
What is Selenium (Se)?
This element has the noble gas configuration [Ar] 4s^2 3d^{10} 4p^4.
What is 42/20 Ca or Calcium-42?
The complete isotope notation for an atom with 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 22 neutrons.
What are Convection Currents?
The driving force of plate tectonics, involving the rising of hot material and sinking of cool material in the mantle.
What is the energy transformation that starts with chemical energy in batteries and ends with light energy in a flashlight?
This sequence describes the main energy changes when a flashlight is turned on: Chemical 1->Electrical 2 -> Light (and Heat).
What is the Latent Heat of Fusion?
This is the specific term for the energy required to break the strong network of inter molecular forces like hydrogen bonds) that hold water molecules in a solid ice structure at $0 C.
What is a factor of four? 2^2 = 4
The factor by which the volume of a cylindrical filament changes if the diameter is accidentally increased from $1.75 3.50 assuming the length is constant.
What is the activation energy?
The initial energy input, often from lightning or human activity, that must be supplied to a wildfire before the overall combustion reaction can sustain itself and release massive amounts of thermal energy
What is condensation?
This process occurs when water vapor in the atmosphere releases energy (latent heat) to form liquid water droplets, often resulting in a warming effect on the surrounding air.
Question: What is centi?
The prefix on the metric staircase, two steps down from the Base Unit meter, liter, or gram, which represents 1/100 of the base unit.
