General
How many states in Australia
6
Define Matter
Anything that has a volume and mass
What are the three types of rocks
What are the 3 states of matter
Solid, liquid , Gas
State the melting and boiling point
Melting 0
BOiling 100
slope, steepness
What is an epicenter
Central part of the earth where earthquake starts
How do igneous rocks formed
- Formed from the cooling and solidification of molten rock (magma or lava)
Describe what happens to particles when added energy
-Change of state involves the heating or cooling of matter.
-As a substance is heated, energy is transferred to it
-When a substance cools, energy moves away from it to another substance or to the environment
-
-The change in energy causes the particles in the substance to move at different speeds.
What is the substance with all three states of matter involved
Water, Ice, Vapour
What is the capital of China
Beijing
Define evaporation
Change of state from liquid to gas
How do sedimentary rocks formed
Formed from the accumulation, compaction, and cementation of sediments.
Describe the movement of particles in solid
Compacted together
What is a convergent boundary
When two tectonic plates collide
What are the 6 states in Australia
NSW, QLD, VIC, SA, WA, Tasmania
What is a richter scale
Scale to measure the earthquake movements (seismic waves)
What are the 2 types of waves and explain
Body waves: waves that travel through the Earth’s inner layer
-Primary Waves (P Waves) – fastest travelling wave through rocks and liquid layers of the earth
-Secondary Waves (S Waves) – slower than the P waves. It only travels through solid rocks.
Surface waves: waves that only travel through the surface layer. Most destructive waves
Describe two properties of liquid
Has a fixed volume and can take shape of a container
Describe the difference between physical and chemical change
Chemical - not reversible
Physical - can be reversible
Name the continents
North and South America, Asia, Africa, Europe, Antartica, Australasia
What is the process of sublimation, give an example
Solid to gas,
What are the kayers of the earth
Mantle, crust, outer core, inner core
Describe the Changes of matter process
Solid - Liquid - gas
Describe the rock cycle
Lava cooling down - Igneous rocks - go through compaction - sediments - heat and pressure - sedimentary rocks - Melting - Metamorphic rocks - cooling down -
