100
the bending of a wave around a barrier
What is diffraction
100
a measure of the total amount of matter contained within an object
What is mass
100
the ability to do work; powers Earth's processes
What is energy
100
a small rocky body that orbits the sun; is not considered a planet
What is an asteroid
100
formed through the deposition of sediment transported by water, ice or wind, which then hardens to form rock Examples limestone and shale
What is sedimentary rock
200
type of wave in which the medium moves perpendicular to the wave
What is a transverse wave
200
a measure of the gravitational force on an object
What is weight
200
movement of heat energy from one source to another
What is thermal transfer
200
celestial body of ice, dust and a tail of gases and dust
What is a comet
200
consists of the crust and upper mantle; composed of tectonic plates
What is the lithosphere
300
type of wave wave in which a medium moves parallel to the wave
What is a longitudinal wave
300
a measure of the amount of space an object fills
What is volume
300
movement of energy from one object in motion to another
What is mechanical transfer
300
a burning body of matter that has entered Earth's atmosphere; "shooting star"
What is a meteor
300
formed by the cooling and solidifying of magma Examples granite and basalt
What is igneous rock
400
occurs when a wave bounces off a barrier, often flipping upside down

400
temperature at which a liquid boils; a solid melts
What is boiling point; melting point
400
movement of electrical energy from one source to another
What is electrical transfer
400
includes all existing matter and space
What is a universe
400
a large section of the lithosphere that is capable of movement due to tectonics

500
occurs when a wave bends as it enters a new medium
What is refraction
500
amount of mass per unit of volume
What is density
500
a state of equality or balance between two things

500
a system of millions or billions of stars with gas, dust and other celestial objects held together by gravity

500
formed from another rock type through the heat or pressure example marble from limestone
