Earth Science
The outermost layer of the Earth
What is
The crust
This tool measures temperature.
What is
A thermometer
Energy of movement.
What is
Kinetic energy
Plants make food through this process.
What is
Photosynthesis
The Sun heats Earth through this type of heat transfer
What is
Radiation
These giant pieces of Earth move slowly over time
What are
tectonic plates
Warm air usually does this.
What is
Rises
A roller coaster sitting at the top of a hill has this type of energy.
What is
Potential energy
Animals that eat only plants.
What are
Herbivores
These large streams of moving water travel through the oceans.
What are
Ocean currents
This type of boundary forms mountains
What is
Convergent Boundary
This air mass is cold and dry.
What is
Continental polar
This force slows objects down when two surfaces rub together.
What is
Friction
This gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?
What is
Carbon dioxide
The Mitochondria
What is
The Powerhouse of the Cell
This process breaks rocks down into smaller pieces.
Weathering
This type of weather often forms when warm and cold fronts collide.
What are
Thunderstorms/storms
This type of heat transfer happens when heat moves through direct contact.
What is
Conduction
Living and nonliving things interacting together form this.
What is an
Ecosystem
Land heats up faster than water, causing this daytime coastal wind pattern.
What is a
Sea breeze
This rock forms under heat and pressure.
What is
Metamorphic rock
This layer of the atmosphere contains weather.
What is the
Troposphere
Heat rising through liquids and gases is called this type of heat transfer.
What is
Convection
When species cannot adapt quickly enough to climate change, this may happen
What is
Extinction
This phenomenon causes ocean currents and winds to curve instead of traveling in a straight line due to Earth’s rotation.
What is the
Coriolis Effect
