Plate Tectonics
a location where two or more of Earth's tectonic plates move toward each other and collide.
What is a convergent plate boundary?
This term refers to the passing of genetic material from parents to offspring.
What is heredity?
This state of matter has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container.
What is a liquid?
This force pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.
What is gravity?
He discovered the concept of relativity
What is Albert Einstein?
linear zones where tectonic plates move apart, or separate, causing magma to rise from the mantle, solidify, and create new crust.
What is a divergent plate boundary?
These are different forms of a single gene, often represented by capital and lowercase letters.
What are alleles?
This "universal solvent" is a compound made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
What is water?
This is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.
What is kinetic energy?
He discovered the idea of gravity and motion
What is Issac Newton?
a type of tectonic plate boundary where two plates slide horizontally past one another resulting in earth quakes.
What is a transform plate boundary?
This word describes an organism's physical appearance or visible traits.
What is a phenotype?
The number of these specific particles in an atom determines which element it is.
What are protons?
This is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time.

What is Marie Curie?
What type of plate boundary is the San Andreas Fault?
What is a transform plate boundary?
When an organism has two identical alleles for a trait, it is known as this.
What is homozygous?
Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons are called this.
What are isotopes?
This is the energy stored in an object because of its position or height
What is potential energy?
Proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection.
What is Charles Darwin?
Where multiple plates interact, rather than simple linear faults.
What is diffuse boundaries or collision zones?
The entire set of genetic information for an organism is called this.
What is the genome?
Found in Group 18, these gases (like Neon and Helium) are known for being very unreactive.
What are noble gases?
This term describes the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
What is inertia?
Developed pasteurization and vaccines for rabies and anthrax.
