Global Warming
The most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere
Carbon Dioxide
The source of all energy on earth
The sun
When a liquid changes to a solid
Freezing
Most of Earth’s deep ocean current patterns are primarily caused by
Density
The difference between weather and climate
Weather is over a short period of time where as climate is over a long period of time
Non-renewable energy like fossil fuels takes this long to form
What is a herbivore
An animal that eats plants only
What must happen to the thermal energy of a substance in order for it to melt
Increase
What happens to the bonds during a chemical reaction?
Break, rearrange, and reform
The direction of a low pressure system
Counterclockwise and inwards
Fossil fuels are created by undergoing this process
Heat and Pressure
The part of a producer responsible for the process of photosynthesis
Leaf
This phase change occurs when water from a reservoir turns into a gas
Evaporation
This concept states that matter cant be created or destroyed in a closed system
The Law of Conservation of Mass
Proximity to an ocean or body of water affects this specific factor of an area
Temperature Range
This type of radiation is a product of light radiation from the sun turning into heat
Infrared Radiation
What percentage of energy is transferred from organism to organism
10%
Due to phase changes not changing the chemical composition of the substance it is considered this type of change
Physical Change
What is considered a source of moisture
An effect caused by the rotation of the earth on its axis, causing objects to move clockwise on the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise on the southern hemisphere
Coriolis effect
CH4 is chemical compound for this greenhouse gas
Methane
This word represents the balance of a ecosystem due to their biodiversity being distributed evenly.
Clue: Grass population=10,000
Deer Population=1,000
Wolf population= 100
Homeostasis
Formation of droplets in the atmosphere are a result of this phase change
Condensation
Identify the independent and dependent variables, and the constants:
One tank of goldfish is fed the normal amount which is once a day; a second tank is fed twice a day; and a third tank is fed four times a day during a six-week study. The fishes’ body fat is recorded daily.
IV: Amount of fish food fed
DV: Amount of fish body fat
Constant:Same type of goldfish, fed the same food, at the same time of the day
Severe weather like thunderstorms occur due to hot air rapidly rising, forming clouds during this type of front
Cold Front
