A force that holds atoms together in a molecule
What is a bond?
100
To become solid as a result of decreasing temperature, as when water becomes ice
What is freezing
100
The huge landmass that existed about 225 million years ago and that very slowly split apart to form all of today's continents
What is Pangea?
100
The condition or factor that changes in an experiment so the effects can be observed.
What is a variable
100
A type of rock formed when layers of sediment are pressed and cemented together over time.
What is sedimentary rock?
200
A substance that dissolves in another substance to make a solution
What is solute
200
When water vapor which is a gas changes into ice which is a solid
What is deposition
200
When two plates move away from each other in the opposite direction
What is divergent plate boundary
200
A condition or factor that is kept the same throughout an experiment.
What is the control?
200
A rock that has been changed by heat or pressure into another kind of rock
What is metamorphic rock
300
A substance, usually a liquid, that can dissolve another substance
What is a solvent
300
When solid changes to gas
What is sublimation
300
When two plates move toward each other and collide
What is convergent plate boundary
300
This is the variable you have control over in your experiment
What is the independent variable
300
A type of rock formed from molten rock (magma) that cooled.
What is igneous rocks?
400
A form of matter that is made up of only one kind of atom
What is an element?
400
When liquid water changes into water vapor
What is evaporation
400
When two plates slide past each other along a fault
What is transform boundaries
400
This is the variable you measure in the experiment and what is affected during the experiment. This variable responds to the independent variable.
What is the dependent variable?
400
This type of rock is formed when lava erupts onto the Earth's surface and cools quickly.
What is extrusive igneous rocks?
500
A mixture of a dissolved substance and the liquid in which it is dissolved, thoroughly blended to be uniform in composition.
What is a solution
500
When water in gas form which is water vapor changes into liquid water.
What is condensation
500
Due to ___ _____ the India plate split from Madagascar and collided with the Eurasian plate, resulting in the formation of the Himalayas.
What is Plate Tectonics.
500
The factor in an experiment that does not change
What is a constant?
500
This type of rock forms when lava cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface.
What is intrusive igneous rocks?
