100
The natural process that breaks down rocks into smaller pieces called sediment without moving them
What is weathering?
100
This is the number of things you can change in a valid test/good experiment
What is 1?
100
Individuals with beneficial inherited traits are more likely to survive and do this.
What is reproduce?
100
The color of a star tells us this information
What is temperature?
100
The phrase often used to describe natural selection, meaning organisms best suited to their environment live to reproduce.
What is "survival of the fittest"?
200
The process by which soil and sediment are transported or moved from one location to another.
What are erosion?
200
The variable we measure (outcome/data)
What is dependent variable?
200
Over many generations/LONG TIME, the accumulation of successful, inherited traits causes a species to do this.
What is evolve (or change over time)?
200
The term is used to measure the distance between stars and galaxies
What is light-year?
200
These massive puzzle pieces of Earth's outer layer move via mantle convection currents, driving processes like mountain building and volcanism.
What are tectonic plates?
300
The process in which material, soil, or sediment is dropped or laid down in a new location
What is deposition?
300
When scientists observe how the color of a car affects the internal temperature parked in the sun, the internal temperature is classified as this type of variable.
What is the dependent variable (or outcome/responding variable)?
300
This type of reproduction mixes genetic material from two parents, creating unique offspring.
What is sexual reproduction?
300
These are the color of the hottest stars
What is blue?
then white, yellow, orange, and red (coolest)
300
This is the correct order of these four items from smallest to largest: Earth, Milky Way, Solar System, Universe.
What are Earth, Solar System, Milky Way (Galaxy), and Universe?
400
While weathering breaks down the Earth's surface and erosion transports it, this is the overarching effect that deposition has on the landscape.
What is building it up (constructive process)/landform building?
400
In an experiment testing how the amount of fertilizer affects the height of a tomato plant, this is what you measure at the end.
What is plant height (DV)?
400
This process where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring
What is natural selection?
400
This term is used to measure distances in OUR solar system
What is A.U.?
astronomical unit
400
This area is where the sun's rotation is the fastest
What is the equator?
500
Colliding tectonic plates push rocks deep underground to create heat and pressure, while this dual surface combination wears down surface mountains to create sediment and moves them to new places. (2 TERMS)
What is weathering and erosion?
500
If you study whether the number of hours spent studying leads to higher test scores, this is the outcome (dependent) variable.
What are the test scores?
500
These are random changes in DNA create brand-new traits in a population
What are mutations?
500
The number of stars in a galaxy, and the number of galaxies in the universe
tens, hundreds, thousands, millions, billions?
What are billions?
500
This term describes how bright a star looks when you view it from Earth.
What is apparent magnitude (or apparent brightness)?
