Earth Layers
This layer of the Earth is the thinnest
crust
Type of rock formed from sediments
sedimentary rock
this type of energy source can be exhausted (run out)
non renewable energy
examples: fossil fuels
the basic unit of life
cell
predator prey
This layer of the Earth is responsible for changes on the surface. It is where convection currents occur
Mantle
Process that transforms all types of rock into metamorphic rock
heat and pressure
why is the term "clean" energy used to describe renewable resources?
They do not produce emissions that pollute
organisms that make their own food
autotrophic
producers
the struggle between organisms to survive in a habitat with limited resources
competition
The intense pressure of the earth gives this layer its density and state of matter as solid
Inner core
This type of rock sometimes contains fossils
sedimentary rock
what is the benefit of using low-flow technology in your home?
conserve (don't waste) water
list ecological order
population
community
ecosystem
biosphere
One organism is benefitted while the other is harmed
parasitism
List all of the layers in order from outermost to innermost
Crust
Mantle
Outer Core
Inner Core
describe similarities and differences in how magma and lava transform into igneous rock
magma cools inside the Earths crust
lava cools outside the Earth's crust
Which energy resource is least dependent on the sun?
solar, hydropower, wind, geothermal
geothermal
How do we classify ecological factors such as increased flow in a stream after rain
abiotic
both organisms benefit
mutualism
The liquid metal outer core is responsible for this property of the Earth
Earth's Magnetic field
1. weathering
2 erosion
3 deposition
4 compaction
5 cementation
The ability to use natural resources in a way that minimizes waste
efficiency
Which factors must be included in a description of an ecosystem
biotic
abiotic
one organism is helped the other is neither helped nor harmed is commensalism. provide an example
remora and shark
