100
A type of plate boundary where two plates move apart from one another.

Divergent boundary

100

The process by which rock breaks down in to sediment

weathering


100

The process of cell division that starts with one diploid cell and ends in two diploid cells

mitosis

100
What is the formula for Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Force = mass x acceleration (F = ma)

100

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Weight is gravity's pull on that matter.

200
A break in Earth's crust along which many plate boundaries are found.

fault

200

the transportation of sediment by wind, water, or ice

erosion

200

Name two of the three purposes of mitosis

-Growth

-Repair

-Reproduction (single-cell organisms only)

200

The force that opposes the motion of an object is called what?

friction

200

Cells spend most of their lives in what phase?

Interphase

300

The stress associated with a convergent boundary

compression

300

a landform made by glacial deposition; occurs when a glacier erodes sediment and then recedes.

moraine

300
The diploid number for a camel is 74. After a camel's cell goes through meiosis, how many chromosomes are in each new cell?

37

300

Mr. D. pushes a box to the right with 10N of force. Pascal pushes the same box with a force of 8N to the right. Mr. Garris pushes the box to the left with a force of 15N. What is the net force and direction?

3N, right

300
What is the name of the process that occurs when one tectonic plate sinks under a less dense tectonic plate?

Subduction

400

a landform made of faults caused by two diverging continental plates

rift valley

400

Mudflow and landslides are types of erosion caused by what force?

gravity

400

Name the four phases of mitosis in the correct order

-Prophase

-Metaphase

-Anaphase

-Telophase

400

At what rate does gravity accelerate all things toward Earth?

9.8 m/s2

400

Name two types of seismic waves.

P-waves (primary waves)

S-waves (secondary waves)

Surface waves

500

the stress associated with a transform boundary

shear

500

A process that occurs when a glacier freezes around a boulder or rock, moves that rock, then deposits it somewhere other than where it started.

plucking

500

During meiosis, during which phase does DNA replicate

At the end of interphase, just before Prophase I
500

Give one example of a contact force and one example of a non-contact force.

Contact: friction, applied, wind/air, normal

Non-contact: gravity, electricity, magnetism

500

Name two of the four mechanisms that drive natural selection.

-Overproduction of offspring

-Variation between offspring

-Competition for limited resources

-Beneficial adaptations become widespread
