Science 1
physical and chemical
two processes that cause weathering?
the most abundant gas in the atmosphere
nitrogen
an electric charge that happens between a positively charged area and a negatively charged area
lioghtning
ability to cause change
energy
DNA is contained here
nucleus
the breakdown of rock material by physical and chemical processes
weathering
the layer of atmosphere where weather occurs
troposphere
tropical low pressure with super high winds blowing [119 km 74 miles per hour]
hurricane
energy of motion
kinetic
single celled organism that does not have a nucleus or membrane bound organelle
prokaryote
the crust, the mantle, and the core
geosphere
the apparent curving of the path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to Earth's rotation
Coriolis Effect
destructive rotating column of air that has high speeds of wind and sometimes seen funnel shaped
tornado
stored energy that an object has
potential energy
organism made of cells that contain DNA in nucleus
eukaryote
the measure of force with which air molecules push an area of a surface
air pressure
narrow belts of high winds that blow from west to east above Earth's surface
jet stream
holes in the ground that form when a cave collapses
common in Florida
sinkhole
force of attraction between objects due to their mass
gravity
maintenance of a constant internal state in a changing environment
homeostasis
as altitude increases
the air pressure decreases
the change of state from a gas to a liquid
condensation
weather conditions in the area of a long period of time. Temperature and precipitations
climate
smallest functional and structural unit of all living organisms
cell
equal number of chromosomes are separated and the nucleus splits to form two identical nuclei
mitosis
