This term describes the long-term increase in Earth's average temperature
Global warming
What is surface tension?
When an insect can walk on water because of its property
When temperature increase, atoms move_________
Faster
Liquid water changing into a gas is called
Evaporation
Tornados usually occur in this U.S. Region
Central United States/Great Plains
Global warming is usually caused by an increase in these gases
Greenhouse gases
The process by which individuals with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce is
Natural Selection
Heat energy is a measure of this type of energy. What am I ?
Kinetic Energy
Water vapor cooling into liquid droplets is called
Also, what is the state of matter order for this term?
Condensation
Gas>liquid
Differences in traits among individuals within a population are called
Genetic Variation
Name one greenhouse gas
CO2, Methane, water vapor
Why is camouflage considered a survival advantage?
helps organisms avoid predators or sneak up on prey
In solids, atoms are arranged................
Tightly packed/vibrating in place
Energy from this source drives most of the water cycle
The Sun
Over many generations, an animal develops thicker fur in a colder climate.
What adaptation am I ?
Structural Adaptation
These human activities increase greenhouse gases
burning fossil fuels, cars, factories
What creates a tornado?
When warm, moist air meets cold, dry air
In Liquids, atoms move .........
more freely/slide past each other
If T=tall (dominant) and t=short (recessive), What is the probability of a short offspring for the equation
Tt x Tt
25%
Why can two parents with a dominant trait produce an offspring with a recessive trait?
Both parents carry the recessive allele
What's one effect of global warming on Earth's systems
melting ice, rising sea levels, stronger storms
Where do hurricanes form?
Where are hurricanes mostly forming?
Warm bodies of water
Atlantic/Gulf of Mexico
Which state of matter has the fastest atomic movement or more energy ?
Gas
When does hurricanes weaken?
When they move over land
Explain why cooler air holds less water vapor.
particles have less energy/ slower movement
