Waves
The highest point on a transverse wave?
Crest
This molecule, often called the "blueprint of life," is shaped like a double helix.
DNA
This type of energy is generated by a force—a push or a pull.
Mechanical Energy
A rapidly whirling, funnel-shaped cloud that touches the ground.
Tornado
This term describes the ability of a material to be drawn or pulled into a thin wire.
ductility
Lowest point on a transverse wave?
Trough
What do we call the physical trait expressed in an individual?
Phenotype
A heavy vase sitting on a table has this type of energy.
(gravitational) potential energy
A severe storm that develops over tropical oceans with winds over 120 km/h.
Hurricane
This physical property is calculated by dividing mass by volume, indicating how compact matter is.
density
The material through which a mechanical wave travels.
Medium
An offspring that is genetically identical to its parent is a...
Clone
A stretched-out slingshot has this type of potential energy
elastic potential energy
These occur during heavy rains, when rivers overflow, or snow melts too fast.
Flood
This term refers to a substance's ability to be hammered or rolled into thin sheets.
malleability
A measure of the distance from the rest position to the top of a crest or bottom of a trough.
Amplitude
If two heterozygous tall plants (Tt) are crossed, what percent of offspring will be tall?
75%
As a roller coaster goes down the first drop, kinetic energy increases and this energy decreases.
potential energy
This is the slowest type of mass movement, often causing trees to lean.
Creep
This is the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid.
Melting point
The distance between two corresponding parts of consecutive waves, such as crest to crest.
Wavelength
What does DNA stand for?
Deoxyribonucleic acid
Energy transfer always moves from objects of this temperature to this temperature.
Higher to lower
Scientists look for these to find patterns in when a hazard might occur again.
historical data
The measure of a material's ability to allow heat or electricity to flow through it.
Conductivity
