Geology on Mars
These are the lined dents on the surface of Mars.
What are channels?
Name the three plate boundaries.
What are divergent, convergent, and transform.
What is metamorphic?
What is water?
This is typically the main power source in an ecosystem.
What is the Sun?
This is where energy comes from.
What is the Sun?
Define photosynthesis less than 10 words.
What is "the process plants go through using sunlight?"
These are the types of lava channels that could be on Mars.
What are lava and water?
The outer layer of Earth is divided into these sections.
What are plates?
This is the bits and pieces of rock that result from weathering and erosion.
What is sediment?
This is the product when combining CO2 and H2O.
What is H2CO3?
This process converts sunlight into energy for plants.
What is photosynthesis?
This is found in the air to that helps make an ecosystem thrive.
What is carbon dioxide?
What is an atom?
This is the biggest volcano on Mars.
What is Olympus Mons?
______________ is hot liquid rock on the surface of Earth.
What is lava?
When rock forms under intense heat and pressure.
What is the metamorphic process?
If you burn hydrogen (H2), this common substance is produced.
2 H2 + 1 O2 --> ___________.
What is water?
H2O
Other than H2O, this is arguably the most important compound in an ecosystem.
What is CO2?
This principle states matter can neither be created nor destroyed.
What is the law of conservation of energy?
The term we use for H2O is this.
What is water?
These are flat low-lying areas typically found near mountains.
What are plains?
At convergent plate boundaries, one plate moves underneath the other plate and sinks into the ____________.
What is mantle?
This is how igneous rock forms.
What is cooling of magma?
This chemical equation is one of five types. It is called this because it combines two into one.
H2 + O2 --> H2O
What is synthesis?
This is the purpose of decomposers in an ecosystem.
What is breaking down dead matter?
The part of a producer that performs photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
This is the force that keeps most objects to in place or on the ground.
What is gravity?
This is the shape that the channel on Mars made, which led scientists to believe it was formed from water. (I need both words)
What is an alluvial fan?
A mid-ocean ridge is an _______________ formed when two plates move apart.
What is underwater mountain range?
This is the process of when sediments come together and become a rock. (Name both)
What is compaction and cementation?
If you mix barium hydroxide (BaCH2) and ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) at room temperature, the mixture feels cold. That is because these two compounds reacted to produce three products. One of them is water. Name the other two products.
Hint: BaCH2 + NH4Cl --> _____ + _____ + H2O.
What are ammonia gas (NH2) and barium chloride (BaCl2)?
This is required for organisms to reproduce.
What is energy?
These three components are required for an ecosystem to function.
What are sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
This is the most abundant element in the entire universe.
What is hydrogen?
