Rocks and processes
What are the 3 types of rocks
Igneous, Metamorphic, Sedimentary
What is hydrology
Water
What are some effects of tectonic plate
Mountains, canyons/ trenches, volcanoes, etc.
What is ecology
the branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings.
What is the difference of fusion vs fission
fusion - combines atoms
fission- splits atoms
what is the difference with weathering and erosion
Weathering i the break up of rocks and erosion is the removal of rocks
what percent of earth is water
78%
what are the 3 type of faults
Reverse, normal, strike slip
what is the difference between the food web and food chain
web is more complex than the chain and shows the relationship of many organisms instead of just 1
What is the Doppler effect
stars moving away from an observer appear red and the start coming closer appear blue
What are the types of sedimentary rocks
Clastic, organic, chemical
Why is it so windy on the beach
The heat from the water and the cool sand start to make convection currents and create wind
What are the plate boundaries
Divergent, convergent, transform
What happens if there is too much of a secondary consumer
If there is too much of a secondary consumer the will eat all of their food then they will have to leave.
what is the hierarchy of the universe
earth- sun- solar system- galaxy
What is the rock cycle
metamorphic (melt, cool) - igneous (weather/ erode, compaction) - sedimentary (heat/ pressure)- metamorphic, etc
What is a runoff
when bad things start to pollute bodies of water from streams or water going into the water.
what are the 3 types of convergent boundaries
Continent - oceanic
Continental - continental
Oceanic - oceanic
What is a niche
A niche is the unique way an organism survives, obtain food and shelter, and avoids danger
what is the nebular theory?
Nebulae- sucks things in- centrifugal force compresses dust into objects ( stars, moons, planets, etc)
What are the 3 rocks that are formed from metamorphic rock
Limestone - marble
Granite- Gneiss
Quartz- Quatzite
How much of earths water is frozen?
2%
What type of fault may California have
A strike slip
what are the 3 symbiosis relationships and how do they work
commensalism- one benefits one doesn't
Mutualism- both benefits
Parisitism - One benefits the other suffers
what is the formation of the solar system?
dust cloud- shock waves from super nova or star exploded resulting in a flattened disk- heated material from cloud triggered nuclear fusion forming the sun- material that not the sun created everything else- only rock matter could survive close so other things started to cluster far away forming the solar system
