The total kinetic energy of the particles in a system

What is thermal energy?

100

This is a substance through which energy or matter can move from one location to another.

What is a medium?

100

This is the term for the action of a planet, moon, or star spinning on its axis.

What is rotation?

100

This is the term for usual conditions of weather that occur in a region over a long time.

What is climate?

100

These organisms are responsible for recycling the nutrients found in dead organisms.

What are decomposers?

200

When particles have more thermal energy, this happens to their density.

What is, they become less dense?

200

The type of wave that is a disturbance of particles.

What is a mechanical wave?

200

This is the effect of decreasing the mass of either object on the gravitational attraction between two objects.

What is decreasing gravitational attraction?

200

This is something that brings with it regular temperature, precipitation, and air pressure conditions when it moves over land.

What is an air mass?

200

This category of organisms are able to create their own stored chemical energy from sunlight and carbon dioxide.

What are producers or plants or photosynthesizers?

300
This is the type of pressure system that occurs when warm air rises.

What is a low pressure system?

300

This type of wave does not require a medium to transfer energy.

What is an electromagnetic wave?

300

This occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the Sun's light from reaching Earth.

What is a solar eclipse?

300

This describes how the direction of wind is determined.

What is that wind moves from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure?
300

This is the form of energy that is produced by all levels of the food web and leaves the ecosystem.

What is thermal energy?

400

This happens when water evaporates from plants.

What is transpiration?

400

When this is larger, a sound is louder.

What is amplitude?

400

This is a type of model that is geometrically similar to a real-life object, but smaller or larger than the object.

What is a scale model?

400

These conditions will increase the amount of wind experienced by an area.

What is the condition that occurs if the difference in  high and low atmospheric pressure zones increases?

400

These water plants grow in many areas along Indonesia's coasts, providing a place to live and food for a wide range of organisms, including sea snails, sea urchins, small fish, and green sea turtles.

What are seagrasses?

500

This is what happens when water vapor loses thermal energy high up in the atmosphere.

What is cloud formation or condensation?

500
This is what is required for sound transmission.

What is a medium or particles?

500

This is the effect of decreasing the distance between two objects on their gravitational attraction.

What is increasing gravitational attraction?

500

This type of climate is characterized by a narrow range of temperatures and usually fairly high humidity.

What is a coastal climate?

500

This is the likely cause of the decline in the orangutan population in Leuser Ecosystem in Sumatra.

What is deforestation associated with palm oil production?
