States of Matter
This state of matter has a definite shape and volume.
What is a solid?
This part of the water cycle involves water vapor turning into liquid.
What is condensation?
This is the formula for speed.
What is speed = distance ÷ time?
Credited with the theory of continental drift.

What is mass?
This is the name of the phase change from a liquid to a gas.
What is evaporation or vaporization?
This process in the carbon cycle releases carbon dioxide by burning.
What is combustion?
This law states that an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon.
What is Newton's First Law?
This model placed Earth at the center of the solar system.

What is kinetic energy?
The state of matter found most commonly in the universe.
What is plasma?
In the nitrogen cycle, this process turns atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form.
What is nitrogen fixation?
The formula for force.
What is force = mass × acceleration?
This model places the sun at the center of the solar system.
What is the heliocentric model?
The ratio of mass to volume.
What is density?
The phase change that goes directly from solid to gas.
What is sublimation?
This term describes how trees remove CO₂ and store it long-term.

Two students do the same amount of work, but one finishes faster. This person has more of this.
What is power?
The combined idea of continental drift and seafloor spreading.
What is plate tectonics?
This law states energy cannot be created or destroyed.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
