Physics
The force that keeps something in motion unless acted upon by another force.
What is Inertia?
Total energy in ALL particles in an object.
What is Thermal Energy?
A cloud made up of dust that compacts and forms a planet.
What are Molecular Clouds?
Slide in opposite ways.
Push together.
Pull apart.
What are the Transform, Convergent, and Divergent Boundaries?
The downhill movement that is caused by gravity.
What is Mass Wasting?
Balloon with hot air = Grows
Balloon with cold air = Shrinks
What is Expansion and Contraction?
When objects come together and end up with the same temperature.
What is Thermal Equilibrium?
The magnetic field created by the Earth's iron core that protects us from solar wind.
What is the Magnetosphere?
The crust and the ridged outer layer of the mantle form.
Landslide, Mudflow, Rockfall, Creep, and Slump.
What are some examples of Mass Wasting?
Less Dense = Floats
More Dense = Sinks
Same Density = Stays Put
What is Buoyancy?
Temp -> Kinetic Energy
Cool = Less KE
Hot = More KE
What is Temperature?
Earth's giant Supercontinent.
What is Pangea?
The biggest thing found was the chain of volcanic mountains
What is the Mid-ocean Ridge made of?
Runoff and Storm Surges.
What can cause Floods?
Small orbs that circle a nucleus, and (usually) always have a negative charge.
What are Electrons?
Transfer of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object.
What is Heat?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars
What are the first Four Planets?
Body and Surface Waves
What are the 2 Semicwaves?
Oversteeping Slopes, Type of Earth Material, and Rate of Weathering.
What causes Mass Wasting?
Force = Mass x Acceleration
What is Gravity?
What is Thermal Energy Transfer? (or Conduction, Convection, and Radiation)
Tectonic plates form volcanoes that release carbon dioxide. This fills the atmosphere and builds up heat. Ice melts and releases hydrogen peroxide and oxygen into the atmosphere, creating life!
What is the Cambrian Explosion?
Where the sourceof an earthquake appears.
What is an Epicenter?
Earthquakes, Volcanic Eruptions, Underwater Landslides, and Asteroid Impacts.
What causes Tsunamis?
