100
A circuit in which the flow of electricity cannot flow is called an ______________ circuit.
What is an open circuit?
100
This includes all of the living and nonliving things that surround an organism.
What is an environment?
100
This is a break or crack in rocks where Earth's crust can move suddenly.  Volcanoes usually form along these.
What are faults?
100
This is the ability to cause motion or create change.
What is energy?
100

This is the removal of weathered rock material. After rocks have been broken down, the small particles are transported to other locations by wind, water, ice, and gravity.

What is erosion?
200
It is the type of circuit that stays on even when one path of electricity has been blocked (like Christmas lights),
What is a parallel circuit?
200

These are all the living and nonliving things in an area that interact with each other.

What is an ecosystem?
200
This is the hot liquid rock inside a volcano.
What is magma?
200
This type of energy is caused by the the movement of electrically charged particles.
What is elecrical energy?
200

This is an area of land at a high elevation with a flat surface

What is a plateau?
300
This is the type of circuit where electricity flows in one circular path only.
What is a series circuit?
300

This is a model that shows one set of feeding relationships among living things.

What is a food chain?
300
This is magma that has reached the surface of a volcano.
What is lava?
300
This is the energy of motion.
What is kinetic energy?
300

This is an area of land that forms a peak at a high elevation 

What is a mountain?
400
This is a circuit that has no breaks in the flow of electricity.
What is a closed circuit?
400

These are small animals and microbes that put nutrients back in the soil.  They help dead material rot and break down.

What are decomposers?
400
This is an opening in the Earth's crust where gases, ash, and molten rock can reach the Earth's surface.
What is a volcano?
400
This is the energy of vibrations carried by air, water, or other matter.
What is sound energy?
400
This is a large area in which the surface is mostly flat.
What is a plain?
500
This is a material through which electricity will not flow.
What is an insulator?
500
This is an animal that hunts and eats other animals.
What is a predator?
500
This is the state in the US that has the most volcanoes.
What is Hawaii?
500
This is energy that is stored in an object (such as a battery).
What is potential energy?
500

This is the physical or chemical breakdown of rocks and minerals into smaller pieces or aqueous solutions on Earth's surface.  This can be caused by wind, strong waves, acid...

What is weathering?
