Rock Transformation
What are the different types of rocks??
Metamorphic
Sedimentary
Igneous
What is thermal energy??
The total energy of all moving particles.
What is a scientist called that studies plant and animal fossils??
Paleontogists
What is natural selection??
The process where living things use their traits to help them survive and reproduce.
What is Evolution??
Is the change in living things over long periods of time.
How are Igneous rocks formed??
By hot magma that has cooled over time.
What do we usually feel thermal energy??
Heat
What is divergent plate boundaries?
Plate boundaries that separate from one another.
What is adaptation??
A trait or characteristic that helps an organism survive and reproduce.
What is a common ancestor??
It is an organism from the past that two or more species evolved over time.
When magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface
What happens to gas particles??
They move very fast in all directions.
What are the two types of plate layers??
Lithosphere and Asthosphere
What are traits??
Characteristics or features of a living thing that are passed down from parent to their offspring
What is Homoglous bones??
Bones that are in different organisms that have the same basic structure.
What do sediments do to become sedimentary rocks??
They undergo compactions and cementation
What is condensing??
When tiny gas particles slow down, move closer together, and change into a liquid.
What is an earthquake??
A sudden shake in the Earth's surface.
What is direct relationship?
A direct relationship means that as one increases, the other also increases.
What is an analogus structure??
A structure in a body part in different organisms that has the same function but is developed differently and doesn't come from a common ancestor.
What is Deposition?
Eroded rocks and sediment stop, build up, and settle around somewhere new.
What is an exothermic reaction?
A chemical process that releases energy, typically in the form of heat.
Where is mesoaurus fossil found??
In hard solid rock that makes up two different plates on Earth's outer layer.
What is Genotype??
The genetic information and organism has.
What is a cladogram??
A family tree for species showing how they are evolutionarily related.
