A measurement of the amount of matter in an object.
What is density?
A measurement of the average kinetic energy of an object's particles.
What is temperature?
Layers and sometimes fossils.
What are sedimentary rock (characteristics)?
Primary ingredient in all of Earth's organic material.
What is carbon?
A transfer of energy from high energy to low energy.
What is heat?
Crystals and sometimes vesicles (holes).
What are igneous rock (characteristics)?
Important ingredient of the enzymes and proteins in DNA and the chlorophyll in plants.
What is nitrogen?
Convection
What is the transfer of energy through fluids due to differences in density?
Slow cooling rate yields large crystals.
What are intrusive igneous rocks?
Conduction
What is the transfer of energy through solids by the collisions of particles?
Densely compacted, rarely have fossils, and no pores.
What are metamorphic rock (characteristics)?
Contains all the land, including land under the oceans.
What is the geosphere?
Matter is neither be created nor destroyed. It can only change forms.
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?
The similarity between the rock cycle and the Law of Conservation of Mass.
What is matter cannot be created nor destroyed, it can only change forms? Rocks cannot be created, nor destroyed: rocks can only be created from pre-existing magma or changed into a different forms of rock.
