rock cycle
What is the rock cycle
what is the process melting, cooling, erosion, compaction, and intense pressure.
Thermal is known as this
what is the total kinetic energy of an object
what are plate tectonics
what is the several large, rigid slabs called tectonic plates
What is natural selection
What is the process where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce
What is evolution
What is the process of change in the heritable traits of biological populations over successive generations
What is sediment
what is solid material—including rock fragments, minerals, and organic matter—that is broken down by weathering and transported by water, wind, or ice and deposited in new locations
what is conduction
What is the transfer of heat or electricity directly through a substance or between materials in physical contact, caused by molecular collisions
what forms at divergent plate boundaries
what is volcanoes
if the ground of an area is green and there are green bugs and yellow bugs, which type of bugs is more likely to survive
what is the Green bugs
Who came up with the theory of evolution
Who is Charles Darwin
what is compaction and cementation?
What is the process that transforms loose sediment into solid sedimentary rock
what is radiation
what is energy that travels from a source in the form of high-speed particles or electromagnetic waves
what causes tsunamis to occur
what is Tsunamis are primarily caused by plate tectonics through large, shallow undersea earthquakes at subduction zones
what causes natural selection to happen
what is Natural selection is driven by the interaction of genetic variation, environmental pressures, and differential reproduction
what is the theory of evolution?
what is the theory of evolution, primarily proposed by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace in the 19th century, explains how life on Earth has diversified over billions of years from common ancestors
what is weathering
what is the breakdown or dissolving of rocks and minerals on or near Earth's surface through physical, chemical, and biological processes
what is convection
what is the transfer of heat through the physical movement of a fluid (liquid or gas), where warmer, less-dense areas rise and cooler, denser areas sink.
what is a transform plate boundary
a fault zone where two tectonic plates slide horizontally past one another.
what is survival of the fittest.
what is a phrase describing the mechanism of natural selection, where organisms best adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce
What are vestigial structures?
what is a biological feature—such as an organ, bone, or behavior—that has lost most or all of its original function through evolution
what is igneous rock
what is a rock formed from cooling magma (intrusive) or lava (extrusive)
temperature is known as this
what is the average kinetic energy of a substance
what forms at convergent plate boundaries
what are mountains
what is an adaptation
what is a trait that develops over time within a species
what are homologous structures
what are physical features in different species that share a common evolutionary ancestor, often possessing similar bone structures or embryonic origins, even if their functions differ
