Constructive & Destructive Processes
What is deposition?
the laying down or dropping of sediment carried by wind, flowing water, the sea or ice.
What is melting? (Physical or chemical?)
Physical Change
What is a insulator?
a material that does not allow electricity or heat to flow through it easily.
What are inherited traits?
characteristics or features passed down from parents to their offspring through genes
Name a force that is both constructive and destructive.
Volcanoes
What is weathering and how does it affect landscapes?
the process that breaks down rocks and other materials at the Earth's surface.
What happens to ice when it melts?
it undergoes a phase change from a solid (ice) to a liquid (water)
What materials are conductors of electricity?
metals like copper, silver, gold, aluminum, steel, and iron
What are instincts?
instincts are behaviors living things are born knowing.
What does a plant cell have that an animal cell doesn't have? (Hint it is TWO parts)
Cell Wall and Chloroplast
What are some features caused by volcanic activity?
volcanoes, rocks, lava flows, craters, calderas, fumaroles, hot springs, geysers, and lava domes, as well as pyroclastic flows and lahars
What evidence shows that a chemical change has occurred?
a change in color, temperature, the production of a gas or odor, or the formation of a precipitate.
What is static electricity, and what is one example of Static electricit?
Static electricity is natural electricity. An example could be lightning, rubbing a balloon on your head, laying on a trampoline.
How are animals sorted into groups?
based on whether they have a backbone (vertebrates) or not (invertebrates), and then further classified by characteristics like body structure, habitat, and diet
1.) What is the brain of the cell? 2.) What is the jelly-like substance inside the cell? 3.) What allowing things to go in and out of the cell? (You must get all three correct to get points.)
1.) Nucleus
2.) Cytoplasm
3.) Cell membrane
Name a process that causes erosion.
Water erosion, Wind erosion, glaciers, etc.....
Give an example of a physical change involving water.
freezing liquid water into solid ice or boiling water.
What do you need to have a complete circuit?
a complete path with electricity flowing the way it's supposed to flow: from the battery, to the load, and back to the battery again.
(Power source, Conductor (Wire), and Load)
Name two groups in scientific classification of plants.
Vascular and Non vascular.
Is rust a physical or chemical change?
Chemical Change
What is a delta and how is it formed?
A delta is a landform created by the deposition of sediment where a river flows into a larger body of water.
What is the difference between a physical change and a chemical change?
A physical change alters the form or appearance of a substance (like melting, freezing, or tearing) without changing its chemical composition, while a chemical change creates new substances with different properties (like burning, rusting, or cooking).
What is an electromagnet?
a magnet that runs on electricity.
What is the main difference between vertebrates and invertebrates?
Vertebrates have a backbone while invertebrates do not have a backbone.
Tell me all of the different types of vertebrates. You have to tell me all of them to get points.
mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians
