Plate Tectonics
What layer of Earth do the plates sit on?
What is the crust?
What is motion?
What is when an object's position to a reference point changes.
If there are two magnets who are repelling each other, what does this say?
That they are the same. Alike repel!!!!
What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?
What is asexual vs. sexual reproduction.
The total amount of cells produced. Etc
How do you change the amount of erosion that happens on a plate with different materials on it?
Change the height, change the slope, change the water pressure
Explain convection currents and what they do?
Convection is where warm materials rise and cool materials sink..
Hot magma is pushed up towards the surface and cooler magma near the crust is pushed down.
What are three examples of reference points that early settlers in the United States might have used?
What is the Mississippi River, Niagara Falls, Everglades, etc.
Why do we study fossils? What do they provide geologists?
We get to see Earth's History and what has happened throughout the entire lifetime of Earth. We get to see past organisms and other things.
If someone is heterozygous for a trait, what does this mean?
It means that they carry both alleles.
For example, Bb, Aa, Cc, Dd, etc
What is responsible for the creation and destruction of oceanic crust?
What is a mid-ocean ridge (creation) and a trench/subduction zone (destruction)
What is this an example of ?
Two football players collide after running into each other at the same speed. The heavier player knocks over the lighter player.
2nd Law
Where is the magnet the strongest at on an iron magnet? The middle, the poles, where at?
What is the poles
What is the difference between Charles Darwin and Gregor Mendel?
Charles Darwin studied natural selection by evolution, while Gregor Mendel studied pea plants to understand how traits are passed down from generation.
Describe the different types of plate boundaries and the geological features that are characteristic of each type.
Explain the concept of "hotspots" and how they relate to plate tectonics, and provide examples of hotspots and their associated volcanic activity.
Which of Newtons laws most accurately explains the situation:
A fireman turns on a water hose and is pushed backwards
3rd Law
What is the difference between an organism with a vertebrate and an invertebrate?
A vertebrate is an organism with a backbone, whereas an invertebrate is an organism without a backbone.
If an individual is homozygous dominant for a trait and they mate with an individual that is heterozygous, how many different genotypes can we have and list them.
What is 2 and Aa, AA
What is the amount of space that matter occupies?
What is volume?
How does plate tectonics deal with natural selection?
What is that when plates move it changes their location on Earth's surface and causes a species to change its appearance/features to evolve
Describe the 3 Laws of Motion, who created them, and an example for each one..This is worth 1000 points. BTW
What is
1: Object at rest stays at rest, in motion stays in motion. A ball will keep rolling if friction and no object slows it down.
2: F=MA. The greater the mass/acceleration that is put in a bowling ball, the more force it will have when hitting the pins.
3: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Two trains are hit by a train that was moving. The energy transfers to the two trains.
What is the law of superposition?
That the oldest rock layers are found on the bottom and the younger ones are found more towards the top.
What is a mutation?
Are they always bad?
Explain.
A mutation is a miscopy of DNA.
They can be bad/good dependent upon environmental conditions/factors.
If we live in a forest and are rabbits, then we experience a mutation that creates albino rabbits in our population, we are more easily seen by predators
What is the difference between weight and mass?
What is weight changes based on gravity and mass stays the same.
