What is conduction
Heat that is transferred by direct contact
What is weather?
Conditions of the atmopsphere.
Which layer of the Earth do tectonic plates move on?
Mantle
What is a cell?
Basic unit of life
What is refraction?
Bending of light
What state of matter has the fastest moving particles?
Gas
What tool measures air pressure?
Barometer
What happens at a convergent boundary?
Plate collide
What is a unicellular organism?
One celled organism
What type of material allows light to pass through easily?
Transparent
What happens to particles when temperature increases?
They move faster
What type of cloud is tall and often brings storms?
Cumulonimbus
What happens at a divergent boundary?
Plate move apart
What is the function of muscles
to stretch and pull the bones for movement.
What forms when light is blocked by an object?

Which has more thermal energy: a large ice cube or a small cup of hot water.
Large ice cube.
What is the measure of water vapor in the air?
Humidity
What happens at a transform boundary?
They slide past
They are like trees and stretch out to cover more area to communicate with the brain.
What type of material blocks light completely?
Opaque
What direction does heat flow?
from warm to cool.
Explain the process of air warming up and making a storm.
The sun heats the air above it, then the air particles gain energy and expand, they slowly rise up. As they rise they cool and condense and make clouds. The clouds get heavy then precipitation happens.
What landform forms when plates push together?
Mountains
What is the function and structure of skin?
Skin is stretchy so it can hold together to protect.
