States of Matter
Most matter exists in one of these three states.
What are solid, liquid, or gas.
Its a black lump, found in the ground, that people burn to produce energy.
What is coal?
It was the "super continent" that existed a long time ago.
What is Pangea?
This type of rock forms when small pieces of rock build up and are pressed together
What is sedimentary rock?
Its a model for how plants and animals are connected in an ecosystem, and provide food for each other.
What is a food web?
When water freezes, it goes from a liquid to this state.
What is solid.
This precious natural resource comes from rain or snow and ice melt. It's different from what is in the ocean.
What is fresh water?
Its when two plates slide alongside each other, often causing earthquakes.
What is transform plate motions?
Its when a big rock gets worn down by wind or water.
What is weathering?
This human practice can biodiversity by destroying habitats in order to remove natural resources from deep underground.
What is mining.
When water evaporates it turns from a liquid into this state.
What is gas.
We need them to make wood for building homes and many other things, but cutting down too many can be harmful to the environment.
What are trees?
It when two plates crash into each other, often forming mountains.
What is convergent plate motions.
This type of rock forms when magma cools.
What is igneous rock?
Its the plant process that takes carbon dioxide out of the air, creates energy for the plants, and oxygen for animals.
What is photosynthesis.
When matter goes from a liquid to a gas, it's molecules do this.
What is move faster?
Organic material needs these two thing applied to them over a long time before they turn into coal or oil.
What are heat and pressure?
Its when two plates move away from each other, often forming trenches.
What is divergent plate motion.
This is when sediment from a rock is moved to another place by wind or water.
What is erosion?
This is when there are no more of a specific species left on Earth.
What is extinction?
When matter goes from a liquid to a solid it's molecules do this.
What is stop moving / stay still.
They are resources that cannot be replaced in our lifetime.
What are non-renewable resources?
Volcanoes are usually associated with this type of plate motion.
What is convergent plate motions?
This is the energy source that drives the rock cycle on earth.
What is the sun?
In this process, an animal takes oxygen and glucose and turns them into water and carbon dioxide. Energy is also released.
What is cellular respiration.
