Adaptations comes in two forms. What are they and how are they different?
Behavioral- things organisms do to better survive
Structural/physical- physical changes to an organisms to help it better survive
How do humans interact with the carbon cycle? What impact in the environment has been made if this interaction?
We consume things made of carbon and we breathe out CO2. Humans also have industries that pump carbon into the atmosphere leading to global warming.
What causes tectonic plates to move?
Convection: where hot rocks move to the surface and push cooler/denser rock below ground.

An ionic bond is formed between to ions that have traded electrons to become stable.
Covalence is when atoms share electrons to become stable.

Gregor Mendel
Explain the difference between a control variable, independent variable, and dependent variable.
Control variable- a variable that isn't changed during and experiment
Independent variable- the variable that is manipulated by the scientist
Dependent variable- the variable that is measured and gives the data for the experiment
