Energy
The ability to do work or cause change is the definition.
Energy
This is Newton's Second Law of Motion.
The Law of Acceleration
This is the formula for Acceleration.
Change in velocity / time
This is the thinnest layer of the earth.
Crust
The point on the Earth's surface directly above where the earthquake starts underground
Epicenter
The energy of motion.
Kinetic Energy
Objects in motion stay in motion and objects at rest stay at rest.
The Law of Inertia
This is the formula for Gravitational Potential Energy.
mass x gravity x height
Seafloor crust is made by this type of plate boundary
Divergent
The exact point inside the Earth where an earthquake originates
Focus
The type of energy that is stored due to an object's position or height.
Gravitational Potential Energy
When you run into a table, a bruise forms on your leg. This is an example of this law of motion.
The Law of Reciprocal Actions
A runner's average velocity when they run 3000 meters in 600 seconds. (Must include units in your response)
5 m/s
In 1912, this German meteorologist published his theory of "Continental Drift," though he was mocked because he couldn't explain how the continents actually moved.
Alfred Wegener
This is where a Hotspot (like Hawaii) usually forms volcanoes.
Far away from plate boundaries
This is the standard unit for energy.
Joules
The primary law of motion that affects how things move in outer space.
The Law of Inertia.
The acceleration of a 50 kg mass when moved with a force of 100 N. (Must include units in your response)
2 m/s2
Subduction is the process of one plate sinking below another plate at this type of boundary.
Convergent
This is the name of the scientific instrument used to detect and record the vibrations caused by an earthquake?
Seismograph
Friction usually converts mechanical energy into this.
Heat/Thermal Energy
The amount of force needed to move a 12 kg object at a rate of 2 m/s2. (Must include units in response)
24 N
The amount of Kinetic Energy of a 5kg object moving at 3 m/s. (Must include units in your answer)
22.5 J
A curved chain of volcanic islands, such as the Aleutians or Marianas, forms on the overriding plate directly parallel to an oceanic subduction trench and is called this.
Island arc
This type of volcano typically produces massive, low-viscosity basaltic lava sheets called 'flood basalts' that can bury entire subcontinental regions
Fissure Volcanoes
