convergent plate boundaries
what are the gas giants?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
what are the 5 non-renewable resources?
Nuclear power, propane, petroleum, natural gas, and clean coal
what elements and components must be present for fusion to occur?
what is air mass?
a huge body of air that is typified by similar temperature and humidity at given altitudes
what do divergent boundaries form?
Most divergent plate boundaries are underwater and form submarine mountain ranges called oceanic spreading ridges.
what is the difference between astroid and Meteoroid
astroids range from 1 meter to hundreds of kilometers across and its made of rock, nickel, iron, silicone and meteoroids are called a meteor when it enters the Earth’s atmosphere and usually burn up in the atmosphere and we call them “shooting stars.”
how much electricity does coal generate in the U.S.
45%
what is the number of stars in the constellation?
18
how is a tornado formed
Inside thunderclouds, warm, humid air rises, while cool air falls along with rain or hail. These conditions can cause spinning air currents inside the cloud. Although the spinning currents start out horizontal, they can turn vertical and drop down from the cloud becoming a tornado.
which boundary is the most dangerous?
convergent boundaries because matter cannot be destroyed, it forces one of the plates into the mantle underneath. Convergent boundaries have some of the most violent catastrophes and geology on Earth.
what is the distance of the Kuiper Belt
4.5-7.5 b. miles
how do nuclear power plants produce electricity?
they produce electricity by heating water into steam in the same was as fossil fuel planets

Von maane's star, alrescha, fumalsamakah, delta Piscium, epsilon Piscium, torcular.
what is the difference between la Ninã and El Niño?
El Niño refers to the above-average sea-surface temperatures that periodically develop across the east-central equatorial Pacific. It represents the warm phase of the ENSO cycle. La Niña refers to the periodic cooling of sea-surface temperatures across the east-central equatorial Pacific.
what is the difference between the 3 boundaries?
Divergent boundaries where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other. Convergent boundaries where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another. Transform boundaries where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.
Why Pluto is a dwarf planet
It’s orbit is elongated and sun is off-centered, it does not orbit on the same plane as the other planets, and it’s too small to be a planet it would be destroyed by almost any major object it came into contact with.
where is the most active geothermal resource forum?
the most active geothermal resources are found along major tectonic plate boundaries, where magma comes very near earth's surface
