The process by which a parent cell divides its nuclear and cytoplasmic components into two daughter cells.
What is Cell Division/Mitosis
These rocks are formed by the accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic particles at Earth's surface, followed by cementation
Secondary waves, or shear waves are a type of elastic wave and are one of the two main types of elastic body waves, so named because they move through the body of an object, unlike surface waves
A wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation
The passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another.
What is Heredity
In volcanology, an explosive eruption is a volcanic eruption of the most violent type
What is a Explosive Volcanic Eruption
What is a Longitudinal Wave
What is Magnetism
The central and most important part of an object, movement, or group, forming the basis for its activity and growth
What is Nucleus
A solid inorganic substance of natural occurrence
What is Mineral
This event is the shaking of the Earth's surface resulting from a sudden release of energy in the lithosphere that creates seismic waves
What is an Earthquake
A wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a material medium
What is a Permanent Magnet
A special mode of cell division, which makes haploid cells from a diploid cell
What is Meiosis
These rocks are formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava
What is Igneous Rocks
A broad domed volcano with gently sloping sides, characteristic of the eruption of fluid, basaltic lava
What is a Shield Volcano
A wave that propagates along the interface between differing media
What is a Surface Wave
What is an Electromagnet
A mass of cytoplasm that is bound externally by a cell membrane
What is a Cell
This rock is subjected to temperatures greater than 150 to 200 °C and, often, elevated pressure of 100 megapascals or more, causing profound physical or chemical changes
What is Metamorphic Rocks
This volcano is a steep conical hill of loose pyroclastic fragments, such as volcanic clinkers, volcanic ash, or scoria that has been built around a volcanic vent. The pyroclastic fragments are formed by explosive eruptions or lava fountains from a single, typically cylindrical, vent
What is a Cinder Cone Volcano
A wave is the maximum value of upward displacement within a cycle
What is a Crest Point
The region surrounding the earth or another astronomical body in which its magnetic field is the predominant effective magnetic field
What is an Magnetosphere
