Explain low vs high viscosity and what volcanoes have what viscosity.
Low viscosity: low resistance to flow, or in other words, flowing easily (shield)
High viscosity: high resistance to flow, thick and sticky, flows slow (composite)

What is the difference between a compound and a mixture?
A substance made of two or more elements that are chemically joined. For example, water (H2O) and table salt (NaCl) are compounds
a substance made up of two or more different substances that can be separated by physical means
500
Explain transverse vs longitudinal waves.
a wave in which particles of the medium vibrate at right angles, or perpendicular, to the direction that the wave travels
a wave that moves in the same direction as the vibration of the medium it's traveling through

Give an example of a hypothesis using if/then/because.
If the plant receives sunlight, then the plant will grow because of the process of photosynthesis.

What is relative dating?
a method for determining the order of past events or the age of something in relation to other objects, without providing an exact date
