What are the characteristics of organisms in Kingdom Eubacteria?
Prokaryotic (No nucleus), Unicellular, Autotrophic or Heterotropic, and Asexual reproduction. It is bacteria that lives in everyday environments.

List the layers of the Earth from hottest to coolest.
Inner Core
Outer Core
Mantle (Including the asthenosphere)
Crust
100
Two continental plates are converging. What type of landform would you expect to see at this boundary?
Mountains - for example, the Himalayas.
100
What is geothermal energy?
Energy that comes from the heat inside the Earth.
100
All rocks are made up of at least two _______________.
Minerals
200
What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
Prokaryotic cells do NOT have a nucleus, and eukaryotic cells do.
200
What are the two elements most commonly found in the Earth's crust?
Silicon (Si) and Oxygen (O)
200
True or False? Volcanoes and Earthquakes only occur at plate boundaries and faults.
FALSE. Volcanoes and earthquakes are more common at plate boundaries and faults, but they can occur at other locations.
200
Biomass comes from materials that were recently what?
Materials that were recently alive/part of a living item - like trees, crops, or waste.
200
How many elements are in this chemical formula? What are they? CaCO4
(You can use the periodic table)
3 Elements -
Ca - Calcium
C - Carbon
O - Oxygen
300
An alligator and a hippopotamus would be in ____________ kingdom and ______________ species. (Same or different?)
An alligator and a hippoptamus would be in the SAME kingdom and a DIFFERENT species.
300
In which layer of the Earth do convection currents occur?
The asthenosphere (which is part of the mantle)
300
How do plates move at a divergent boundary?
They move apart or diverge.
300
If you are measuring density, you must divide mass by volume. What are the units of measure we most commonly use for mass and volume?
Mass - grams (g)
Volume - cm3 (cubic centimeters) or mL (milliliters)
300
How are igneous rocks formed?
Magma is heated and is in a molten state. As magma escapes, it begins to cool and form crystals. Those crystals group together to form igneous rocks.
400
In giving an example of organisms in each of the kingdoms, which organism needs to be removed so that no kingdom is represented more than once?
Rose
Mushroom
E-coli
Snail
Algae
Spider
The snail and the spider are both part of Kingdom Animalia. You would need to remove one of them so there are no repeats.
400
Define density.
Density is the amount of mass (matter) that is packed into a given volume (space).
400
Give an example of a location that we see plates sliding past each other (transform boundary).
On the west coast of the United States, where the North American plate slides past the Pacific plate in an opposite direction.
400
Give one advantage to biomass energy.
Examples:
It can reduce waste in landfills.
It can reduce atmospheric carbon.
It is renewable.
400
What how many elements are present in this chemical formula? What are they?
SiO2
2 Elements
Si - Silicon
O - Oxygen
500
What does it mean if an organism is autotrophic?
The organism can make its own food.
500
Which layer of the earth is least dense?
The crust because it floats on the asthenosphere.
500
What makes it possible for the plates of the Earth's crust to slowly move across the surface of the planet?
Convection currents in the asthenosphere.
500
What is the difference between elements and compounds?
Elements are pure substances made up of just one type atom and represented by one chemical symbol or capital letter. Compounds are 2 or more elements that are chemically combined and are represented by 2 or more capital letters.
