Energy is the ability to do this.
Work

This is what gets transferred by waves.

What is humidity?
A measure of how much water vapor is in the air.

If two species have a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship (like clownfish and sea anemones), what would you expect to happen if the population of one goes up?
The other population would likely rise as well.
100
This is the most abundant greenhouse gas
CO2

These are the 2 factors that determine the kinetic energy of an object.
Mass and speed
200
This is what does not get transferred by waves.

Barometric pressure can give us clues about the weather. If pressure is dropping, that means a low pressure system is approaching. What kind of weather is associated with a low pressure system?
Rain/storms.
200
This happens to a population when resources are abundant.
Population growth

This type of wave allows us to see everything around us.
Visible light waves (a specific wavelength of electromagnetic waves)
300
What is kinetic energy?
Energy of motion
300
These 2 types of mechanical waves occur during earthquakes.
Transverse and Longitudinal waves
300
This type of weather can occur when a cold front blows in suddenly, causing huge up drafts that lift moisture into an anvil-shaped cloud.
Severe thunderstorm
300
What is the role of producers in an ecosystem?
Producers take sunlight, a form of energy organisms can't use, and turn it into stored energy that ALL organisms can use.
300
Name three factors that affect climate.
Latitude (distance from equator)
Altitude (height above sea level)
Proximity to a large body of water
Ocean currents
Global wind patterns
400
What happens to an object's potential energy as it falls from a height?
The stored energy transforms into energy of motion (kinetic energy).
400
Draw and label a wave with high amplitude, but low frequency. Then draw a label a wave with low amplitude, but high frequency.
Amplitude = height
Frequency = number of waves per second
400
These 2 weather conditions are most likely to happen when a high pressure system moves into an area.
Cooler temperature, clear skies
400
This is what happens to a population coyotes when the population of rabbits, their primary food source, goes down.
Population decreases
400
If the speed of something doubles, what happens to its kinetic energy?
It quadruples.
Bonus: What if mass doubles? What happens to KE?
500
Between a car and a semi-truck traveling at the same speed, which vehicle will have the most kinetic energy?
Truck
500
Name four ways waves can behave when they meet a new medium.
reflect, refract, transmit, absorb
500
This eerie-looking weather is a result of the outside temperature being the same as the dew point.
Fog

What is photosynthesis? Give a description and well as the reactants and products.
Plants make their own food (sugar/glucose) using sunlight. Water + carbon dioxide + sunlight = glucose + oxygen
500
The Coriolis effect causes winds to blow in all directions rather than just North and South, and it is caused by the Earth doing this.
