What are volcanos?
Vents opening in a planet's crust that allow molten rock (magma), ash and gases to escape from beneath the surface, often building mountains or hills with a crater.
TRUE OR FALSE, Animals and plants share a lot of the same cells?
TRUE, animals and plants share many similar basic cell structures and functions, like having a nucleus, mitochondria, cytoplasm, and DNA, but they also have key differences, such as plant cells having cell walls, chloroplasts, and large central vacuoles, while animal cells have lysosomes and centrioles, making them specialized for their different needs.
What is an example of fossil fuel? (You only have to get 2)
Oil, Coal, Natural Gases, Nuclear power.
What happens when you mix vinegar and baking soda?
They rapidly react to form carbon dioxide gas, water, and a salt called sodium acetate, causing a vigorous fizzing and bubbling eruption due to the escaping CO2, which is great for fun science experiments or loosening grime, but often neutralizes their cleaning power, making them less effective than using them separately for specific tasks like baking soda for grease or vinegar for mineral buildup.
What is deimos?
Deimos is the smaller, outer moon of Mars, named after the Greek god of terror, and is one of the smallest known moons in the solar system, similar in composition to captured asteroids. It's an irregularly shaped, cratered body with a smoother appearance than its twin, Phobos, due to crater-filling debris, orbiting Mars every 30 hours and appearing like a bright star from the Martian surface.
What are geysers?
Geysers are rare hot springs that periodically erupt water and steam into the air, driven by underground pressure from volcanic heat, a water source, and a unique plumbing system that traps and superheats water until it violently discharges. They form in volcanically active areas where water seeps down, gets heated by magma, and is forced up through narrow fissures, creating a kettle-like effect that leads to powerful, intermittent eruptions.
What is the language that they use for most scientific animal names?
Scientists use Latin (and sometimes Greek)(Half points for Greek) for scientific animal names because it was the universal scholarly language when the naming system was formalized by Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century, providing stable, unambiguous terms for global communication. These names, part of the binomial nomenclature system (Genus + species), remain in use because dead languages don't change meaning, ensuring clarity across different countries and languages.
What are the two ways that magnets react?
Attract, and Repel.
How do you make elephant toothpaste. (You only have to get 2 ingredients)
What is science?
The systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation, and the testing of theories against the evidence obtained.
How long does it take for the earth to make a full rotation around the sun?
365.25 days (Qauter points for 1 Year(75 points))
What is a tardigrade?
A microscopic, eight-legged invertebrate known as an "extremophile" for its incredible ability to survive harsh conditions like extreme temperatures (near absolute zero to boiling), intense radiation, deep-sea pressures, and even the vacuum of space, often by entering a dormant state called cryptobiosis.
A repeating pattern of energy that does not move mass.
Electromagnet waves
What happens when you put vegetable oil, a couple drops of food coloring, and A little bit of water?
It forms balls of food coloring, that only stay in tacked, when in vegetable oil.
What is Phobos?
Phobos is the larger, innermost moon of Mars, named after the Greek god of fear, known for its close, fast orbit that causes it to rise in the west and set in the east, and its lumpy, cratered, asteroid-like appearance, which is expected to eventually lead to it crashing into Mars or forming a ring system. It's a small, irregularly shaped body, possibly a captured asteroid, orbiting Mars so closely that it completes an orbit in under eight hours.
How deep is the ocean?
35,876ft
How many bones does an adult horse have?
205 bones
How fast do electrons travel?
An electron's velocity varies hugely: random thermal motion in metals is around 10^6 m/s,(1,000,000 m/s) but the drift velocity (actual current flow) is extremely slow (mm/s to cm/s); in atoAms, speed depends on orbit (e.g., Hydrogen's 1st Bohr orbit is ~2.2 million m/s, or ~1% light speed), while in accelerators, electrons reach >99% of light speed.
Can you explain the reaction of vinegar and baking soda? (You only have to get 1 principle)
The Chemical Reaction Explained
What is the coanda effect?
The coanda effect is, the tendency of a fluid (liquid or gas) jet to stay attached to a nearby curved surface, following its contour instead of continuing in a straight line, due to pressure differences created as the fluid speeds up and lowers pressure along the curve.
How deep is the center of the earth?
The center of the Earth is approximately 6,371 kilometers (3,959 miles) deep, located beneath a solid inner core made of iron and nickel, surrounded by a liquid outer core and the mantle, with temperatures near the sun's surface and immense pressure. Humans have only drilled about 12.2 km (7.6 miles) into the crust, highlighting the vast distance to the core, which remains largely inaccessible.
How much does the average adult chimpanzee weight?
An average adult chimpanzee weighs between 70 to 130 pounds (32-60 kg), with males generally being heavier (88-154 lbs) and females lighter (60-110 lbs), though weights vary by subspecies and captivity can increase size significantly.
How many watts are in 1.21 gigawatts?
1,210,000,000 watts
What happens when you mix calcium chloride with sodium, water and food coloring together?
It forms a film over the sodium, and makes it form a sphere, (the color of the food coloring) that when popped explodes like a water balloon, leaving behind a gel like matierial.
What is the average terminal velocity of a rain drop?
9.5 mph AKA: 26 km/h
