tsunami's
this natural, large-scale ocean wave is caused by underwater disturbances like earthquakes or landslides
what is a tsunami?
this type of boundary occurs when two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally
what is a transform boundary
the change of heritable characteristics of biological populations over generations
what is evolution
the three transfers of thermal energy
what is conduction, convection, and radiation
the creator of the theory of natural selection
what is Charles darwin
the general movement of tsunamis
what is fast
the plate boundaries that cause mountains
what are convergent plate boundaries
the creator of the theory of evolution
who is charlies darwin
movement of particles in cold objects
slow
natural differences in traits within a single species, such as different hair or fur colors
what is variation
the name for the series of ocean waves with extremely long wavelengths, often caused by volcanic activity
what is a tsunami
the three main types of plate boundaries
what are convergent, divergent, and transform?
this term refers to any inherited characteristics that increase an organism's chance of survival and reproduction
what is an adaptation
the thermal energy in hot objects
what is high?
the "first step" of natural selection, where population produce more offspring than the environment can support
what is overproduction
the general, most common cause of tsunami's
what are earthquakes
this term describes the process where a denser oceanic plate sinks beneath a less dense continental plate
what is subduction
evolution is driven by this random change in the DNA sequence of a gne
what is a mutation
movement of particles in hot objects
what is vibrate faster
an inherited characteristic that increases an organism's chance of survival and reproduction in a specific environment
what is an adaptation
the term that refers to the vertical distance between the top of a wave and the bottom
what is wave height
These circular movements of magma in the mantle are the driving force behind plate movement.
What are convection currents?
These preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms provide a chronological record of life on earth.
What are fossils
heat transfer that occurs when two objects are in direct physical contact
what is conduction
an adaptation like a walking stick insect matching a branch or a snowshoe hare turning white in winter
what is camouflage
