What is Newton's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Law?
1st Law: An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
2nd Law: F=MxA
3rd Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

What is the difference between compositional layers and mechanical layers?
Compositional layers are based on chemical composition while mechanical layers are based on physical properties and how they behave.

If a seismograph doesn't record an S-wave (secondary), what is the best explanation?
The S-wave couldn't travel through the liquid outer core to reach the seismograph.

On the white board, illustrate a spring tide and neap tide.
1. Spring Tide: the moon, sun, and Earth are in a straight line

What is sea floor spreading? At which boundary does it take place at?
Sea floor spreading is the process where new sea floor is created. It takes place at a divergent boundary.

Term for when structures between organisms are similar indicating they have common ancestry (usually the purpose of the structure is not the same; example: bat wing and whale fin.)
Homologous structure

When a wave refracts, why does it bend when it enters a new medium?
Because the wave speeds up/slows down when it enters the new medium, causing it to bend.
