Matter
This is the state of matter with a definite volume but no definite shape.
What is a liquid?
This type of heat transfer is when one object directly touches another to pass on heat
What is conduction?
This is the planet closest to the Sun.
What is Mercury?
We are part of this system in an ecosystem
What is the biotic system?
Process for when we regulate our body by sweating
What is homeostasis
In this process, a solid becomes a liquid.
What is melting?
The sun provides us with this type of heat energy
What is radiation?
The universe began with this massive explosion about 13.8 billion years ago.
What is the big bang?
Plants are able to make their own food from water, carbon dioxide, and sun light. We call them this for that reason
What is a producer?
The average temperature of an area over a long period of time
What is climate?
This phase change occurs when a liquid turns directly into a gas.
What is vaporization (or evaporation)?
Magma in the mantle transfers heat through this process
What is convection?
This diagram compares a stars brightness and temperature
What is the HR diagram?
The ONE characteristic that differentiates between a biotic and abiotic being
What is the ability to reproduce?
This theory explains how our solar system began
Particles in this state of matter are able to move freely and quickly
What is a gas?
Your house stays warm due to this type of heat transfer
What is convection?
The end product of our sun.
What is a black dwarf?
This abiotic factor determines whether water is a solid, liquid, or gas in an ecosystem. It also can knock humans out of homeostasis
What is temperature?
The coldest stars in our solar system emit this color
What is red?
When particles are more packed together in the same amount of space they have an increased this.
What is density?
Warm air/water rises due to this
Less dense
Our galaxy has this shape
What is a spiral?
This is the term for the role an organism plays in its ecosystem, including what it eats and how it interacts with others.
The remnant of a massive star (not the most massive stars but more massive then our sun) that has undergone a supernova explosion.
What is a pulsar?
