Force and Motion
What is speed and direction?
Velocity
What is the height of a wave is known as?
Amplitude
What is the name of the super-continent discovered by Alfred Wegner?
Pangea
What is an independent variable?
A car is traveling in a straight line at a constant speed of 60 mph. Is the velocity of the car changing?
No - The speed is constant and the direction is constant.
What is the distance between crests of a wave known as?
Wavelength
What has happened to the continents over the last 200 million years? Are they in the same position?
The continents have moved on top of plates over the last 200 years which has shifted their positions.
Which of the following is being measured during an experiment? (Independent variable or dependent variable)
Dependent Variable
A car is traveling at a constant speed of 300 mph. What could the driver do to change the velocity?
The driver can change the direction of the car. This includes turning, etc.
A wave with a high number of crests between it has a (higher or lower) frequency?
Higher
What two events/landforms occur at ALL plate boundaries?
Volcanoes and Earthquakes
What is a hypothesis?
An idea (or assumption) that can be tested to see if it is true.
A car is driving around in circles at a constant speed of 100 mph. Does the car have a constant velocity?
No - The direction is changing.
Draw a wave with a low frequency
(Wave should not have many crests)
What happens at a divergent plate boundary? (Must describe interaction with mantle for credit).
