Matter and Chemistry
This state of matter has a fixed volume but no rigid shape, meaning it flows to take the shape of its container.
What is a liquid?
Touching a hot stove is an example of this type of thermal energy transfer, which happens through direct contact
What is conduction?
This type of rock is formed when magma or lava melts and then cools.
What is Igneous rock?
This process in the water cycle happens when water vapor cools and changes into liquid droplets, which forms clouds.
What is condensation?
It is the basic formula you use to calculate the density of an object.
What is Density = Mass / Volume?
Found completely outside the nucleus, this subatomic particle has a negative charge and virtually zero mass.
What is an electron?
Materials that do not allow heat to pass through them easily are known by this term.
What are insulators?
Tsunamis are massive, destructive ocean waves that are most often caused by these sudden events occurring underwater.
What are earthquakes?
While "weather" describes day-to-day conditions, this term describes the average conditions in specific areas over a long time.
What is climate?
You can find the volume of an irregularly shaped object using this method, which requires measuring how much the water level rises when the object is dropped in.
What is water displacement?
This law states that in a closed system, the total mass of the reactants will always equal the total mass of the products.
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?
This greenhouse gas, linked to fossil fuel combustion, is the one that has risen the most in the last 100 years.
What is carbon dioxide (CO2)?
At this type of tectonic plate boundary, two plates slide right alongside one another.
What is a Transform Boundary?
A hurricane gets its fuel from ocean surface water, but that water must be at least this warm for the storm to evaporate it.
What is 80 degrees Fahrenheit?
Subatomic particles dictate the math of the Periodic Table. The Atomic Number of an element is determined purely by counting the number of these positive particles.
What are protons?
Dissolving salt in water is considered this type of change, because no new substance is formed and you can get the salt back through evaporation.
What is a physical change?
Sunlight warming the earth's surface, which then releases heat back into the air where it gets trapped, describes this planetary effect.
What is the Greenhouse Effect?
The geologic principle stating that older rock layers form first and are found underneath younger rock layers.
What is Superposition?
This pattern of rising and sinking air, formed from warm updrafts and cool downdrafts, is the main way thermal energy transfers through liquids and gasses.
What is convection?
If a water level rises from 100 L to 130 L when an object is placed in it, this is the volume of the object.
What is 30 L?
To find this specific number for an atom, you simply add together the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus.
What is the Atomic Mass?
Wind is caused by uneven heating of the Earth, which creates differences in air pressure. Wind always moves from areas of this pressure to areas of this pressure.
What is high pressure to low pressure?
The fact that we find similar fossils on completely different continents suggests that the continents were once connected and fit together just like these.
What are puzzle pieces?
Natural hazards are classified by how much warning they give; a hurricane is an example of a predictable hazard, while this shaking-ground hazard is unpredictable.
What is an earthquake?
Look out for this on the test! If a block has a mass of 300 Kg, and its volume is calculated to be 30 L, what is its density?
What is 10 Kg/L?
