What is flammability(burns),reactivity, and combustion?
What happens when balanced forces act on an object?
What is no motion or stationary force?
Metal feels colder than wood even when they’re the same temperature. This is because metal is better at this type of heat transfer. What is the term for this property?
What is conduction?
Explain how a cumulus cloud can become a cumulonimbus cloud and what weather conditions are likely to result.
What is when rising warm air continues to build a cumulus cloud vertically, it becomes a cumulonimbus cloud, which can cause thunderstorms or severe weather?
If all the decomposers disappeared from an ecosystem, what would most likely happen to the flow of energy and the environment?
What is energy flow would slow down and dead plants and animals would pile up because nothing would break them down?
