What are different habitats?
Tundra, Forests, Grasslands, Deserts, Rainforests, and Oceans.
what is the Earths "Mantle" made of?
molten rock called magma.
what are the two main types of Erosion?
water, wind
What is gravity
a force that pulls objects toward each other/what keeps us on the ground
What causes volcanos to form?
When one tectonic plate moves under another.
if an animal is hurt what will it do ?
Hide and try to recover ,if not they tend to call 911 for services .
why do forest fires happen?
lightning and the rare chnace of other causes.Causes about 60% of wildfies.Humans also cause another 40% of wildfires.
what problems do erosions cause?
incressed poulituion in streams and rivers and clogging water way.
what is torsion force?
the force that acts on something when its being twisted
what is lava called after it hardens?
Igneous rocks
what is the only bird that can fly backward?
the humming bird
Why do homes catch on fire when owners are not home.
Potentially leave on heaters and something is to close to it and catches on flames.
what are ways to prevent erosion?
cover areas with mulch or packed dirt.
what are three examples of forces?
drag, lift, gravity
What happens during a volcanic eruption?
Molten Lava erupts from the Volcano along with ash and toxic gasses.
how do different animals access food
hunting, scavenging, or foraging.
what are the plates that make up the earth called?
tectonic plates
what happens with wind erosion?
dirt is rolled along the earth, dislodging other dirt particles creating hollow chanels.
what force acts on a tension bridge?
torsion, tension, and gravity
Why do volcanos occur
Most of the world's volcanoes are found around the edges of tectonic plates, both on land and in the oceans. On land, volcanoes form when one tectonic plate moves under another. Usually a thin, heavy oceanic plate subducts, or moves under, a thicker continental plate.
why do flamingos turn pink
flamingos get their pink color from their food.Carotenoids give carrots their orange color or turn ripe tomatoes red. They are also found in the microscopic algae that brine shrimp eat. As a flamingo dines on algae and brine shrimp, its body metabolizes the pigments — turning its feathers pink.
How many zones are there in the ocean?
Five zones
what happens with water erosion?
water softens the land beside it, and causes it to colapse in on itself.
what force acts on humans?
gravity
what tempature can volcanos reach
These range in temperature from freezing to boiling. Lava-dominated features include lava lakes, lava flows, lava domes, and pyroclastic flows, and can reach temperatures up to about 1200 °C (2200 °F).
