Earth Science
_________ results when transform boundaries slide past each other.
Earthquakes
Food webs begin with the ______________ because _______________ depend on the ____________ for their source of energy.
Food webs begin with the ____Sun__________ because ______producers_________ depend on the _____Sun______ for their source of energy.
What are converging plates?
When two plates push against each other, destroy the crust during subduction, and form mountains, trenches, and volcanoes.
What causes the Earth to receive sunlight hitting some parts of the Earth with more concentration and less in other parts of the Earth?
The Earth's Revolution and tilt on it's axis.
Energy that is _____________ and held in readiness is potential energy.
stored
What are divergent boundaries?
This is when plates move apart. They create mid-ocean ridges, rift valleys, and new crust because the seafloor is spreading.
What is an energy pyramid?
This is where energy flows from the bottom to the top of the energy pyramid. As the energy flows it moves from more energy to less energy.
_____________ is ecosystems with an abundance of resources (air, water, soil, & sunlight).
Biodiversity
Earth ____________ around the Sun.
Revolves
Newtons 2nd Law is _____________.
Force = Mass x Acceleration
What is subduction?
At a convergent boundary, plates collide. Heavier more dense oceanic crust go under and melts into the mantle which destroys the crust.
Some organisms have certain traits that help them hide from predators. What are these traits called? Can you name the two different types that animals or plants may have?
Adaptations. The two types are camouflage and mimicry.
What is a transform boundary?
When plates that slide past each other, does not destroy the crust, and creates faults.
The sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west because of Earths ___________.
Rotation
Energy associated with the motion or position of an object and is the sum of kinetic and potential energy is ______________
mechanical energy
What happens when the seafloor spreads?
At a divergent boundary, two oceanic plates move apart. This allows the mantle material to rise and cool, forming new crust. The older curst moves further away.
Describes the main difference between single celled organisms an multicellular?
Single cell can make their own food and do not need other cells to carry out functions.
Multicellular have more than one type of cell to carry out functions.
How is a nebula formed?
Nebula's form a collection of hot gas under intense pressure from gravity creates stars once there is enough heat and pressure to start a nuclear reaction.
If an object has more mass than it will have more ____________.
Gravity
An object remains at rest until something sets it into motion will continue to move at a constant rate and speed until an external ___________ force acts on that object. This is an example of ____________ __________ ______.
When an object remains at rest until something sets it into motion will continue to move at a constant rate and speed until an external __unbalanced_________ forces acts on that object is ___Newtons_________ ___1st_______ ___Law___.
What is happening at the San Andreas fault line in California?
The tectonic plates are transforming and sliding. Part of California is moving north and the other part is moving south.
Food webs consist of multiple organisms, what type of organisms are in the food web?
Producers, Herbivores primary consumers, Carnivores or Omnivores secondary consumers, Top Carnivores tertiary consumers
Watershed
When the northern hemisphere is experiencing winter the southern hemisphere is experiencing
summer
______________ states that energy cannot be created or destroyed only transferred from one form to another.
Law of Conservation of Energy
