Electricity
The flow of electrons through a conductor.
What is an Electric Current?
The sinking of one lithospheric plate beneath another.
What is subduction?
All the water at and near the surface of the earth, 97% of which is in oceans.
What is a hydrosphere?
The phase of the Moon that occurs between the Sun and Earth.
What is a new moon?
What the Red Supergiants and Blue Giants have in common.
What is the same luminosity?
A stationary electric charge that is caused by two objects rubbing electrons off each other.
What is static electricity?
A large, continuous mountain range found within an ocean basin. It is the location on the seafloor where magma upwells and forms new seafloor.
What is a mid-ocean ridge?
The liquid layer of the Earth's core that lies beneath the mantle and surrounds the inner core.
What is the outer core?
The main force that keeps a planet traveling along a curved path around the Sun instead of traveling in a straight line past the Sun.
What is the force of gravity between the planet and the Sun?
The category the Sun is located in.
What is the main sequence?
A huge static electric discharge.
What is lightning?
A plume of hot material that rises through the mantle and can cause volcanoes.
What is a hotspot?
The process by which cells break down simple food molecules to release the energy they contain. Water is a product of this reaction.
What is respiration?
The change of the seasons occurs because of this.
What is the Earth's tilt on its axis as it revolves around the Sun?
An object in space with gravity so strong that not even light can escape.
What is a black hole?
Electrons flowing through a wire to complete a circuit.
What is current electricity?
The man who published the hypothesis of seafloor spreading.
Who is Harold Hess?
The region of the atmosphere above the mesosphere and below the height at which the atmosphere ceases to have the properties of a continuous medium. The thermosphere is characterized throughout by an increase in temperature with height.
What is the thermosphere?
The Earth orbiting the Sun.
What is revolution?
What it is called when a high mass star explodes.
What is a supernova?
A path for electrons to flow through a wire, it must be closed in order for the electricity to work.
What is a circuit?
A location where two plates come together.
What is a plate boundary?
The layer of solid, brittle rock that makes up the Earth's surface, the crust and the uppermost mantle.
What is the lithosphere?
The shape of the Earth's orbit around the Sun.
What is elliptical?
The 2 things that determine whether a massive star will become a black hole or a neutron star.
What is gravity and mass?
