The variable that the person who experiments can change.
What is the independent variable?
100
The principle that states that younger rocks lie on top of older rocks.
What is superposition?
200
A unified body of matter with no specific shape.
What is mass?
200
The theory that explains how large pieces of the Earth's outermost layer that move and change shapes.
What is plate tectonics?
200
The fourth step in your DYOL.
What is variables?
200
This variable changes when the independent variable changes.
What is the dependent variable?
200
a break in the earth's crust.
What is fault?
300
The rubbing of one object or surface against another.
What is friction?
300
THe boundary formed when two tectonic plates collide.
What is convergent boundary?
300
Title, problem, hypothesis, observations/data, analysis, conclusion, and the new quetsion to be solved.
What is the formal lab report?
300
The variable that remains the same throughout the whole experiment.
What is the constant?
300
when rock layers bend and buckle from the Earth's internal Forces.
What is Folding?
400
The natural force of attraction between any two massive bodies, which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
What is gravity?
400
The boundary between two tectonic plates that are seperating.
What is divergent boundary?
400
The second step in your DYOL.
What is the problem to be solved?
400
The group that your experiment is compared to.
What is the control group?
500
Objects in the state of rest or uniform motion.
F=ma

500
The boundary between tectonic plates that are sliding past each other, horizontally.
What is transform boundary?
500
The third step in your DYOL.
What is hypothesis?
500
The ability to use the scientific method to investigate the problem.
