Earth Systems
This describes the condition of the atmosphere at a specific place and time.
Weather
This is the regular path an object takes around another object in space.
Orbit
A push or pull acting on an object.
Anything that has mass and takes up space.
Matter
A large community of living organisms that interact in a particular area.
Ecosystem
Burning fossil fuels increases these gases in the atmosphere.
Greenhouse Gasses
These are natural objects that exist outside Earth’s atmosphere.
Celestial Bodies
This internal force stretches an object.
Tension
Heating matter causes particles to do this.
Gain Energy (Move Faster) & Spread out (Increase Space)
What are the living and non-living components of an ecosystem called?
Biotic & Abiotic
This geographical factor measures how far a place is from the equator.
Latitude
The asteroid belt is located between these two planets.
Mars & Jupiter
Newton’s Third Law states that for every action, there is
Equal and Opposite Reaction
A thermometer works because liquids inside it expand and contract due to this process.
Thermal Expansion
This pigment in plants absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll
This phenomenon causes cities to be warmer than nearby rural areas.
Urban Heat Island Effect
This process allows the Sun to emit its own light and heat.
Nuclear Fusion
This factor considers how easy it is to obtain an energy resource.
Accesability
Dry ice changing directly into gas is called this.
Sublimation
This ecosystem is covered in grasses and wildflowers and supports animals like bison and zebras.
Grassland Ecosystem
Earth’s tilt, orbit shape, or wobble are known as these.
Orbital Patterns
This is the main reason Pluto is not considered a full planet anymore.
It does not have a clear orbit
These renewable energy resources can both be used directly and processed to generate electricity
Water & Wind
Water becomes most dense at this temperature.
Scientists can confirm photosynthesis by detecting this stored sugar in plants.
Starch
