100

This is the formula used to calculate density.

m/V

100

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.

Calorie

100

In a calorimetry experiment, if 100 grams of water absorbs 4180 joules of heat, this is the temperature change it undergoes. (Specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g°C)

10 degrees Celsius 

100

The San Andreas Fault is an example of this type of plate boundary, where plates slide past each other.

transform boundary

100

The heat within Earth that causes molten rock to move and sometimes erupt is called this.

geothermal energy

200

The density of this common liquid is approximately 1 gram per cubic centimeter.

water

200

This term describes the movement of heat through fluids (liquids or gases) due to the rising of warmer, less dense material.

convection 

200

This is the equation that includes specific heat ccc, mass mmm, temperature change ΔT\Delta TΔT, and heat energy qqq.

q=mcT

200

The collision between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate, forming the Himalayas, is an example of this type of plate boundary.

convergent boundary (continental-continental) 

200

This type of boundary can result in the formation of mountain ranges, such as the Andes, due to the collision of an oceanic and a continental plate.

Convergent 

300

If an object has a mass of 100 grams and a volume of 50 cubic centimeters, this is its density.

2g/mL

300

This law states that heat energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred.

Conversation of energy

300

If a 50-gram sample of a substance requires 1000 J of energy to increase its temperature by 5°C, this is its specific heat

What is 4 J/g°C

300

Volcanic island arcs are formed when this type of boundary occurs between two oceanic plates.

convergent 

300

The specific heat capacity of this substance is often used as a standard reference in calorimetry because of its high heat capacity

water

400

This term describes what happens when an object’s density is less than the fluid it is in.

It floats 

400

The phase change from liquid to gas at a specific temperature and pressure involves this transfer of heat energy.

vaporization 

400

500 grams of a substance absorbs 12,600 J of heat, causing its temperature to rise from 25°C to 75°C. This is the specific heat of the substance.

0.504 J/g°C

400

Earthquakes are most commonly associated with this type of plate boundary.

Transform boundary 

400

This type of calorimeter, used in food science, measures the amount of heat produced by burning food to determine its caloric content

bomb calorimeter 

500

The process by which temperature affects the density of a gas, causing it to rise or sink in the atmosphere.

Convection 

500

This boundary between Earth's crust and mantle is where heat rises, causing the movement of tectonic plates.

asthenosphere

500

A 100-gram metal block at 90°C is placed in 200 grams of water at 20°C. If the water reaches 25°C, this is the specific heat of the metal. (Assume no heat loss and that the specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g°C.)

0.167 J/g°C?

Which is more dense, oceanic plate or continental plate?
