What is Erosion?
The movement of sediment from one place to another.
What speed change happens to matter particles as they heat up? What happens if they cool down?

The particles speed decreases
Organs in the human are like ______ in a cell.
Organelles
What drives the circulation in the ATMOSPHERE?
What drives the circulation in the EARTH?
The Sun
Earth's Hot Interior
What are the three types of heat transfer?
Conduction, Convection and Radiation
What is a normal and stable state? You are not sick, hungry, tired or thirsty
Homeostasis
What does the circulation in the Atmosphere cause?
Breezes, winds, thermals, cyclones (tornadoes) and thunderstorms
What is the theory of Plate Tectonics?
A theory the states the crust of the earth is broken into large pieces
How does CONVECTION transfer heat?
Heat is transferred through circulation of fluids or air. Warm rises and cold sinks.
What do all living things need to have?
Cells, respond to stimuli, reproduce, use energy
What is the same and different between Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition?
All take a very long time and break down Earth. They each affect Earth in different ways. Weathering breaks, Erosion takes, and Deposition lays it down.
Where do most earthquakes, volcanoes, and trenches occur?
Along plate boundaries
How does CONDUCTION transfer heat?
What are the seven cell organelles and what do they do?
Cell membrane - allows substances in and out of the cell
Nucleus - controls the function of the cell
Mitochondria - the "powerhouse" of the cell, produces respiration
Cytoplasm - gel-like fluid that holds organelles in place and fills the void
Vacuole - stores food, water and waste
Cell Wall - supports the plant cell
Chloroplast - important for photo synthesis in the plant cell
What are the steps of the rock cycle and what rock does it make?
Melting and cooling creates igneous, weathering and erosion creates sediments, cementation and compaction creates sedimentary, and heat and pressure creates metamorphic.
How does RADIATION transfer heat?
Heat is transferred through electromagnetic rays.
What are the seven body systems?
Bonus: What do they each do?
Circulatory - circulates blood
Respiratory - helps you breathe
Nervous - contains the brain, controls body and helps you feel
Skeletal - supports the body with bones
Muscular - moves the body with muscles
Digestive - digests food and produces #2 waste
Excretory - filters blood to produce #1 waste
