Carbon Cycle
Photosynthesis
Respiration
Combustion
Feeding
Porous
Soft
Layers
Like poles
What kind of poles repel?
All metals
What are good conductors
From hot to cold
What direction is energy transferred in?
coal, gass, oil
What are 3 examples of fossil fuels
Biological, Chemical, Physical
What are the three types of weathering?
Nichel
Iron
Cobalt
Steel
Liquids and gases, materials with trapped air, glass, plastic, rubber
What are good insulators?
Dark surfaces absorb infrared radiation better than lighter surfaces
What kinds of surfaces absorb radiation better?
carbon dioxide
what is the main gas that causes global warming?
hydro carbons fuels release sulfur compounds which combine with oxygen in clouds
Why is rainwater acidic?
North seeking and south seeking pole
What are the ends of magnets called?
Particles next to a heat source gain energy through conduction, happens in fluids, liquids, and gasses.
What is convection?
A situation where two objects are at the same temperature and there is no overall transfer of energy between them.
What is thermal equilibirium?
detritus feeders
what kinds of organisms start the process of decay?
They are both non porous
What do Metaphmorphic and Igneous rock have in common?
Arrows always point from north to the south pole of magnet
How are field lines drawn?
Hot fluids are less dense than cold fluids.
Why do Hot fluids rise above cold fluids?
What is an example of two objects in thermal equilibirum?
for respiration or to build up their own tissue mass
why do decomposers break down complex carbon compounds?
They are made of metal which corrodes quickly
Why are buildings damaged by acid rain?
The needles North is attracted to the South of the Earth's magnetic pole
How do compasses work?
When particles are next to a heat source they pick up energy and move more quickly. When they hit other particles they will pass on this energy.
What is conduction?
No particles are involved unlike conduction. This means energy transfer can work when objects are not touching.
What is the difference between radiation and conduction?
