Waves
What is the highest and lowest points of a wave?
crest and Trough
What is the distance and number of waves that pass a point per second?
Wavelength and Frequency
What is the hight of the wave?
Amplitude
For rock layers where the oldest and youngest rock layers found?
oldest on the bottom and youngest on top
What are the 6 soil layers in order from youngest to oldest?
O,A,B,C,R,Bedrock
What is it called when a wave is squeezed together and is spread apart?
compression and refraction
What are the 3 states of matter that some waves need to move?
Solid,Liquid, and gas
What is the name for a wave that needs a medium and which one does not need a medium?
mechanical needs a medium
electromagnetic does not need a medium
If a rock is cutting into rock layers is the rock layer younger or older than whatever it is cutting into?
younger
What is the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources? Give me the 5 types of renewable and
renewable=can be remade or replaced.Solar, wind, water, geothermal, biomass
nonrenewable=will run out. coal, oil, nuclear
If you increase the wavelength, what happens to the frequency?
it decreases
Waves travel the fastest through which state of matter?
Solid
Sound waves are examples of what type of wave?
mechanical or longitudinal
What is the difference between constructive and destructive forces? Give me 3 examples of each force type
Constructive builds.volcanoes,deposition,water
Destructive destroys. weathering, erosion, wind
Water that occupies all the pore spaces in the soil material rather than air. A total water saturation zone.
groundwater
What determines how loud or soft a sound is?
Amplitude
light waves are examples of what type of wave?
transverse or electromagnetic
What are the colors of visible light in order of weakest energy to greatest energy?
ROYGBIV
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet
How does each plate boundary move and what do they make?
Convergent=together, mountains
Divergent=away, volcanoes/new crust
Transform=slide past, earthquakes
In the late 1800's the human population began to rise sharply, what factors contributed to this increase in population?
What are improved health care, clean water, and other technological advances.
What determines the pitch of a sound?
Frequency
What is the difference between a concave and a convex
Concave curves inward and compresses the image. Convex curves outward and stretches out the image.
What are the types of electromagnetic waves in order from weakest to greatest energy
Radio, Microwave, Infared, Visible Light, Ultraviolet, X-ray, and Gamma
How does each of the 5 rock types form?
Sedimentary=compaction and cementation
Sediments=weathering and erosion
Metamorphic=heat and pressure
igneous=heating and cooling
mama=melting
What is the process that is moving the continents in the mantle?
Convection Currents
