Earth's Systems and Resources
This plate boundary happens between two plates that are colliding and results in mountains or volcanoes.
What is a convergent boundary?
This is the term that describes the SHORTEST amount of geologic time.
What is an epoch?
This is the difference between speed and velocity.
What is velocity has a direction?
This type of wave requires a medium.
What is a mechanical wave?
This is the tendency for minerals to break along smooth planes.
What is cleavage?
This time frame lasted approximately 4 billion years and was when life first appeared on Earth.
What is Precambrian Time?
On a speed-time graph, this indicates a CONSTANT speed.
What is a horizontal line?
This is the only type of electromagnetic wave that humans can see.
What is visible light?
The process in which magma moves in a circular motion and causes the movement of tectonic plates.
What is convection?
This is the best location for remains of an animal to become fossilized.
What is the bottom of a lake covered by sediment?
An object at rest will remain at rest unless an unbalanced force acts upon it.
What is Newton's First Law?
If the "hump" on a transverse wave gets bigger, this property increased.
What is amplitude?
This is how water from a lake would change rocks over time.
What is it would wear them down?
This states that organisms with better characteristics for an environment will survive longer.
What is natural selection?
The force required to move a 7 kg object at 6 m/s2.
What is 42 N?
The color that bananas reflect.
What is yellow?
This is the location where you would find the youngest rocks on the ocean floor.
What is closest to a ridge?
This is the main reason that Alfred Wegener received a lot of ridicule for his theory of continental drift.
What is Wegener did not give a method on how the continents moved?
This law is demonstrated by the following situation:The air leaves the balloon in one direction; the car moves in the opposite direction.
What is Newton's Third Law?
Name two properties that would indicate that a wave has more energy.
What is shorter wavelength, higher frequency, or higher amplitude?
