  • How can there be clouds in winter when it is too cold for water to stay a vapor?

First of all, clouds are never made out of water vapor. Water vapor is invisible because its molecules are too far apart to optically scatter light.

what is constructive forces

forces that build up an existing landform or create a new one.

what are magnets

 magnetic substances include iron, nickel, cobalt, stainless steel, and many rare earth metals.

  • What are the three main states of matter?

solid, liquid and gas

100

What are Some common examples of physical changes

melting, freezing, condensing, breaking, crushing, cutting, and bending.

  • Do I weigh less on the equator than at the North Pole?

Yes, you weigh less on the equator than at the North or South Pole, but the difference is small.

200

what is destructive forces 

he process of breaking down of rocks and land due to forces such as gravity, wind, water and ice.

200

What does magnet do

it attracts things that are metal

  • What are the properties of solids, liquids, and gases?

A solid has definite volume and shape, a liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape, and a gas has neither a definite volume nor shape.

200

The process of burning (as opposed to evaporating) is a chemical reaction,

 a chemical change.

  • Why doesn't the outside world appear blue even though so much light comes from the blue sky?

Actually, a lot of the outside world on a sunny day is tinted blue because of the blue sky. The blue tinting of the outside world is quite striking if you know how to look for it.

300

what constructive and destructive forces combined together

common constructive and destructive forces include volcanoes, erosion, weathering and deposition, and many others.

what is a magnetic field

 A Paramagnetic materials like calcium and aluminum are weakly attracted

  • How can matter change from one state to another?

When matter loses or absorbs energy

300

what is a  physical change

is a change to a sample of matter in which some properties of the material change, but the identity of the matter does not.

  • Why don't the gases in the atmosphere separate out according to mass?

The various gases in earth's atmosphere do indeed partially separate out into layers according to molecular mass, as can be seen in the figure below.

400

what are  Constructive Earth processes are changes that add to the surface of the Earth, and some of them take millions of years to occur. 

The Hawaiian Islands

where can magnets be found

in the simplest or most complex devices you use every day.

400
  • What are some examples of how matter changes state in everyday life?

Examples of matter changes are: Melting (changing from solid to liquid).

400

what can Cooking food is an irreversible called

chemical change

  • What would happen if you fell into a hole that went through the center of the earth?

For the sake of the argument, let's assume you could dig a wide, perfectly straight hole directly down to the center of earth and out to the other side of earth.

500

constructive Forces build up features on the surface of the Earth.

  • Sediment (Deltas, sand dunes, etc.)
  • Tectonic Plates Colliding (Mountains)
  • Crust deformation (Folding or Faulting)
  • Volcanoes (makes Islands

a natural magnet

An example of a natural magnet is the lodestone, also called magnetite.

  • The beam is a very enigmatic state of matter. It is formed differently than solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas. ...


How is plasma different from liquid?

A plasma has some unique qualities that causes scientists to label it a "fourth phase" of matter.
