Define renewable energy
What are resources that can be replaced by natural process in a relatively short amount of time.
100
The largest source of earth's energy (99%)
What is the sun
100
name of he scientist who made the continental drift hypothesis
What is Alfred Wegnner
100
Define Relative Dating
What is determining the order of that rock layers were deposited using NO dates.
100
Environments fossils are likely to form?
What is A quick burial in a high sediment low energy environment without many scavengers.
200
Define Nonrenewable energy
What are resources that are used faster than can be replaced by natural process and could potentially run out
200
first law of thermodynamics
What is Energy can not be created or destroyed, only transferred from one to another.
200
What is the name of the "Super continent"?
What is pangea
200
Define Absolute Time
What is Determining actual dates that events occurred using a rock's chemical composition
200
What are the four main characteristics of an index fossil?
What is they are easy to recognize, they are wide spread, they existed for only a short period of time in which they were abundant.
300
Define and give the formula for Kinetic energy
What is energy due to motion. Formula: E(k)=1/2M(v2)
300
Second law of thermodynamics
What is when energy is transferred it becomes less and less useful
300
what are key pieces of evidence that support Wegner's continental drift hypothesis?
What is the fit of the continent's coastlines, fossil evidence, rocks, and climate
300
What is the rule of dirty laundry? Explain
What is The rule of superposition: in an undisturbed sequence of rocks, the bottom layer is the oldest and the top layer is the youngest.
300
What is a body fossil?
What is a fossil of actual parts of an organism, altered or unaltered.
400
What are the three types of Potential Energy?
What is Gravitational Potential, Chemical Potential, and Elastic Potential
400
As energy changes, what happens to most of it?
What is Lost as thermal energy
400
What is the reason Wegner's theory wasn't accepted?
What is He could not explain how thew continents moved, or how continental crust cut into the dense oceanic crust
400
What is the rule of photo bombing? Explain.
What is the rule of cross cutting relations: features such as faults and intrusions (magma) must be younger than the rocks they cut into.
400
what are trace fossils?
What is fossilized evidence hat the living thing existed
500
A Newfoundland puppy weighs 30 kg and is running at 10 m/s. calculate it's kinetic energy.
What is 1500 joules
500
Why do you get tired and sweaty after exercising?
What is most of your energy is lost as thermal energy
500
Evidence of magnetic reversals around the Mid Ocean Ridge
What is The magnetic reversals alternated normal and reverse reversals symmetrically.
500
What is a Half-Life?
What is the time it takes for half of the radioactive parent material to turn into stable daughter material.
500
Why are fossils so rare?
What is Once an organism dies it could be decomposed or destroyed right away, or it could be destroyed under ground, or just stay burried
