Unit 4
Which way does heat move through objects?
Warmer --> Colder
What type of plate boundary occurs when two plates move away from each other?
Divergent Boundary
What do we call organisms that make their own food using sunlight?
Producers
Autotrophs
What type of plate boundary occurs when two plates move toward each other?
Convergent Boundary
Which method of heat transfer occurs when two objects come into direct contact?
Conduction
Which plate boundary is most likely to cause earthquakes?
Transform Boundary
How much energy is moved up an energy pyramid?
10%
What example did Ms. Jernigan use to explain conduction, convection, and radiation in class yesterday? (in the classroom)
Candle Warmer/Heat Lamp
Which type of heat transfer does NOT require matter?
Radiation
What landform is most likely formed at a convergent boundary?
Mountains
Volcanos
What role do decomposers play in ecosystems?
They break down dead organisms AND recycle nutrients back to the environment
What type of landform does a Divergent Boundary create?
Mid-Ocean Ridge
Rift Valleys
What is Thermal Equilibrium?
When two objects reach the same temperature.
Which process moves thermal energy inside Earth and also helps drive plate movement?
Convection
What is the main source of energy in an ecosystem?
The Sun
When is your CBA and what Units does it cover?
Bonus points for naming the topics of each unit
1/27-1/28 (1/29 if your absent)
Units 4 (Thermal Energy), 5 (Plate Tectonics), and 6 (Matter and Energy in Ecosystems)
A metal spoon heats up in soup. Which two heat transfer methods are happening?
Conduction and Convection
Define the Law of Superposition
The law of superposition states that in undisturbed rock layers, the oldest layers are at the bottom and the youngest layers are at the top.
How does grass (producer) give a frog (secondary consumer) indirect energy?
Without the grass (producer), the caterpillar (primary consumer) would die.
Which scientific process explains how energy moves but matter is conserved?
The Law of Conservation of Energy
