Geology
This innermost layer of the Earth is made up of mostly iron and nickel.
What is the core?
Earth's weather appears to travel on curved paths due to this planetary motion.
What is rotation (spinning, etc)?
This simple organic compound contains a phosphate, a 5-carbon sugar, and a base.
What is an amino acid?
These steps make up the scientific method.
What are:
1) Observation
2) Question
3) Hypothesis
4) Investigate/experiment
5) Conclusion
The type of plate boundary where two plates slide past each other horizontally.
What is a transform boundary?
These clouds form in a towering mass with a flat base and usually create powerful thunderstorms.
What are cumulonimbus clouds?
The process by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce more than less well-adapted individuals.
What is natural selection?
The periodic table of elements is organized by increasing number of protons, also known as this.
What is atomic number?
This crust type is the densest and geologically the youngest.
What is oceanic crust?
This biological process is responsible for the oxygen in Earth's atmosphere.
What is photosynthesis?
These single-celled organisms have neither distinct nuclei nor specialized organelles.
What are prokaryotes?
This phenomenon of light indicates that the universe is expanding.
What is red shift?
This semi-liquid layer comprises the bottom of the crust and the uppermost layer of the mantle.
What is the asthenosphere?
This process converts water vapor or gas into a liquid and is responsible for cloud formation.
What is condensation?
These three structures are unique to plant cells.
What are the cell wall, the vacuole, and chloroplasts?
This English physicist proposed the Plum Pudding Model of the Atom.
Who is J.J. Thomson?
This geological phenomenon creates new crust material at the bottom of the ocean when molten mantle material rises up between two diverging plates.
What is sea-floor spreading?
With these two factors, we can create all of the observable weather patterns on planet Earth.
What are heat and moisture (humidity)?
The six criteria that must be met in order for an organism to be considered alive.
What are:
1) The ability to reproduce.
2) The ability to take in and use energy.
3) The ability to exhibit growth and repair.
4) The ability to respond to external stimuli.
5) The ability to maintain homeostasis.
6) Has a basic structure called a cell.
The number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom of phosphorous.
What are 15 protons, 16 neutrons, and 15 electrons?
