matter & energy
any physical substance that has mass and occupies space:
matter
Nature’s way of recycling water.
What is the water cycle?
What is a biotic element in an ecosystem?
A living organism
It is noted for its frost-molded landscapes, extremely low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons. Dead organic material functions as a nutrient pool. itis very cold
the tundra
when warm, humid air collides with cold, dry air. The denser cold air is pushed over the warm air, usually producing thunderstorms. The warm air rises through the colder air, causing an updraft. The updraft will begin to rotate if winds vary sharply in speed or direction.
tornado
Positively charged particle
proton
The process of water changing into an invisible gas called water vapor
What is evaporation?
What is an ecosystem?
an area where plants, animals, and other organisms work together to form a system of life.
very hot low water source very few animals catus
desert
when warm, humid air collides with cold, dry air. The denser cold air is pushed over the warm air, usually producing thunderstorms. The warm air rises through the colder air, causing an updraft. The updraft will begin to rotate if winds vary sharply in speed or direction.
hurricane
is the capacity to do work:
energy
Amount of water vapor in the air
What is humidity?
Name 3 abiotic elements
sunlight, air, rain, snow, sand dunes, rock, and water.
found in Central and South America, western and central Africa, western India, Southeast Asia, the island of New Guinea, and Australia.May 11, 2015 and very wet.
tropical rain forest
sudden movement along faults within the Earth. The movement releases stored-up 'elastic strain' energy in the form of seismic waves, which propagate through the Earth and cause the ground surface to shake.
earthquake
What particles are housed in the nucleus
protons and neutrons
The process of water vapor turning into water droplets
What is condensation?
Name 3 living things that make up the parts of an ecosystem
Organisms, microorganisms, species, population, community
areas of open grassy plains that are sparsely populated with trees.
temprent grassland
As an earthquake happens, the ground beneath the water is moved up and/or down abruptly and as this movement happens, a mass of water is displaced and starts moving in all directions.
tsunami
Where do plants get their mass?
Carbon dioxide
Water that is found underground
What is groundwater?
Name an interaction between a biotic an abiotic element in an environment
ex. A sunfish making its nest on the bottom of a marsh is an interaction between a biotic and an abiotic component of the marsh.
include temperate rainforest, temperate deciduous forest, and temperate evergreen forests and woodlands. They are dominated by broad-leaved or needle-leaved growth forms. Trees typically range in height from 10-30 m, but rainforest trees may attain great height, exceeding 50 m.
temprent woodland
hen layers of warm, moist air rise in a large, swift updraft to cooler regions of the atmosphere. There the moisture contained in the updraft condenses to form towering cumulonimbus clouds and, eventually, precipitation.
thunder storms.
