Earth's Resources
How are underground deposits of natural resources located?
Underground natural resource deposits are located using a combination of geological analysis, remote sensing, and geophysical surveys.
How do mutations occur?
either from errors in DNA replication or chemicals and radiation.
What causes an object to change speed?
Friction
What is amplitude?
The maximum distance a particle in the medium moves from its resting position when the wave passes through.
What kind of rocks can be found in space?
Asteroids, Meteoroids, and Comets.
What makes one mineral resource different from another?
Mineral resources are differentiated by their unique chemical composition, crystal structure, and physical properties.
How does natural selection happen?
Natural selection is a process where organisms with traits better suited to their environment tend to survive and reproduce more successfully than those with less favorable traits.
What causes an object to change direction?
An unbalanced force.
What part of sunlight is transmitted through selected films?
Visible Light, but also some Infrared and Ultraviolet Light.
What causes the cycle of the Moon's phases that we observe here on this pale blue dot.
The orbit of the Moon around Earth and how the sun light reflects off.
How are natural Resources' used around the world.
Used to build buildings, Power our homes, Ect
How does the environment affect an individual's probability of survival and successful reproduction.
through various factors that can either enhance or hinder these processes.
How does the Mass of a car effect the kinetic energy?
As the Car's mass increases the kinetic energy gets fatter,
How do different absorb or reflect light?
Different materials interact with light in various ways: some absorb it, some reflect it, and some transmit it.
What does Earth's orbit around the sun have to do with seasons?Earth's seasons are primarily caused by the tilt of its axis, not by the distance from the sun during its orbit
Earth's seasons are primarily caused by the tilt of its axis, not by the distance from the sun during its orbit.
How are natural resources?
They're Good
What happens when a person does not take their antibiotics as prescribed?
the development of antibiotic resistance, longer and more complicated illnesses, and a greater risk of infection recurrence.
What is the unit for energy?
Joules (J)
What is the units for frequency?
Hertz (Hz)
What are all the planets in chronological order from Closet to furthest away from the Sun.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
How does groundwater form, and how is it extracted?
It comes from rain and snow melt that seeps into the groundwater and is extracted by drilling wells and using pumps to draw the water to the surface.
What does Evolution mean?
A change in the inherited characteristics of populations from one generation to the next.
What is the mathematical relationship between kinetic energy and the speed of an object, and between kinetic energy and the mass of an object.
Kinetic energy is directly proportional to both mass and the square of the speed of an object.
What is the difference between rarefaction and refraction?
Rarefaction describes a longitudinal wave where particles are spread out.
Refraction is the bending or change in direction of a wave as it passes from one medium to another.
Why don't we see lunar and solar eclipse's more often.
Because the Moon's orbit shifts up and down.
