Magnetism is a
What is the relation of forces and how they attract/repel one another.
What are traits?
What are characteristics that you inherit from your parents?
What is absolute dating?
What is dating a rock layer to the absolute of what it is. For example, 250,212 years ago.
What is evolution?
What is the change in a species overtime?
This type of boundary is usually caused by the pulling of tectonic plates and creates rift valleys and mid-ocean ridges?
What is a divergent boundary?
If we have an object that has a magnetic force, what must it have to be "magnetic"
What is iron, nickel, or cobalt?
Who is the father of modern genetics?
What is Gregor Mendel?
What is relative dating?
What is the difference between lava and magma?
Lava is found on the surface, magma is found inside the mantle.
What type of stress is generally associated with plate boundaries that cause earthquakes?
What is shearing?
Two positive forces will do what with one another?
A positive and a negative will do what with one another?
What is repel?
What is attract?
What did Charles Darwin study?
How organisms change based on their environment.
He studied finches, tortoises, and iguanas and noticed the differences between the ones he had seen in England.
What are some common types of index fossils?
What is trilobites, ammonites, different dinosaurs, etc.
What are the three types of volcanoes?
Explain the process of subduction and why it is important? Where does the material go? What does it create? Where does it happen at?
Subduction is when one plate (oceanic) dives below another (continental)
A volcano is formed, mainly around the pacific plate. RING OF FIRE.
It happens where ocean meets land.
If I apply a force of 16N on a box and friction opposes that force with 20N, what will happen with the box?
The box will not move.
If we have a parent who is homozygous for a trait and she mates with a heterozygous male, and their children are both homozygous dominant, what must the mother be?
What era is responsible for life?
The eruption magnitude of a volcano depends on what?
What is, silica content?
A mid-ocean ridge can be described as a
What is a type of underwater mountain range where new seafloor is created and is typically ate up further away at a trench/subduction zone.
What is a balanced/unbalanced force and give an example of both?
A balanced force is where they are equal. 20N to the right and 20N to the left.
An unbalanced force is where the forces are not equal. 20N to the right and 200N to the left.
If two individuals have 12 children and 9 of them are heterozygous, what must the parents be?
Homozygous Dominant and Heterozygous.
What were the first forms of life on Earth that transformed our atmosphere from a nitrogenous atmosphere to an abundance of oxygen?
What is cyanobacteria in the ocean?
What are four famous landforms we have talked about this year that deal with plate tectonics and the Earth?
Yellowstone Super-Volcano
Marianas Trench
Mid-Atlantic Ridge
Rocky Mountains
Himalayan Mountains
