Light & Matter
How does light travel
In straight lines
The water droplets that form on the outside of a cup of ice water are there because of a process called
Condenstation
the mixture of gases that surround a planet.
Atomsphere
Large pieces of the Earth's crust that float on the mantle and move around.
Tectonic plates
supports an organism's body, protects its internal structures, and allows the body to move
Skeletal System
True or False
Is light matter
False
When heat is transferred through contact between 2 items it is called
Conduction
the process by which a liquid changes into a gas.
Evaporation
Where two tectonic plates collide with each other, which can cause mountains, volcanoes, or trenches.
Convergent boundary
brings oxygen into the body and removes carbon dioxide waste
Respiratory System
What happens to white light when it passes through a prism
The light bends
Kinetic energy is
The energy of movement or motion
water that does not soak into the ground and that flows across Earth's surface.
Runoff
When one tectonic plate sinks beneath another at a convergent boundary
Subduction
A change in the internal or external environment that causes the nervous system to react
Stimulas
The passing of light through matter
Transmission
When heat is transferred by currents of rising warmer material and sinking colder material it is called
Convection
a weather instrument that measures wind speed.
Anemometer
A long mountain range on the ocean floor where new crust is formed at a divergent boundary.
Mid-ocean ridge
Eyelid reflex when something is coming towards your face very quickly; Pushing food through your digestive system;
Involuntary
Do all colors of light travel at the same speed
Yes
Particles of a hot liquid move faster because
they have more kinetic energy than particles of a colder liquid.
a large body of air that has similar temperature and humidity throughout.
Airmass
The process by which new oceanic crust is created at a mid-ocean ridge.
Sea floor spreading
_________ receptors are sense receptors that detect and are activated by light.
