All living and nonliving things interacting in an area form this
What is an ecosystem?
The outermost layer of Earth is called this
What is the crust?
The movement of thermal energy from one place to another is called this.
What is heat transfer?
Waves that can travel through empty space without a medium are called these.
What are electromagnetic waves?
This term describes the role an organism plays in its ecosystem.
What is a niche?
An organism that makes its own food is called this
What is a producer?
Molten rock beneath Earth's surface is called this
What is magma?
There are three main types of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and this.
What is radiation?
Unlike sound waves, electromagnetic waves do not need this to travel.
What is a medium?
This phase of mitosis is often remembered by the phrase “chromosomes line up in the middle.”
What is metaphase?
Animals that eat only plants are called this
What are herbivores?
This type of rock forms from cooled lava or magma
What is igneous rock?
Touching a hot pan handle demonstrates this type of heat transfer.
What is conduction?
These waves have the longest wavelength and lowest energy.
What are radio waves?
The height of a wave is called this.
What is amplitude?
In commensalism, one organism benefits and the other is this
What is unaffected?
The breaking down of rock into smaller pieces is called this
What is weathering
Warm air rises and cool air sinks, creating this type of current.
What is a convection current?
When light bends as it passes through different materials, it is called this.
What is refraction?
This term refers to the organism that is harmed in a parasitic relationship.
What is the host?
A tick feeding on a dog is an example of this type of symbiosis.
What is parasitism?
This layer of Earth is made of solid iron and nickel
What is the inner core?
The Sun transfers heat to Earth using this method.
What is radiation?
As wavelength increases, frequency does this.
What is decreases?
As you move from radio waves to gamma rays, both energy and frequency do this.
What is increase?
