what is a prototype
the first typical model of something
100
Outer Core Characteristics
Liquid state of matter and protects earth from radiation
100
Absolute time
Layers/events using actual dates
100
Relative Time
Determine order of rock layers when deposited without using dates
100
Weather
Weather is short term and conditions are for a day or week.
200
Engineering loop, What is it
A air foil tight blade made to efficiently spin the blades
200
Inner Core Characteristics
Solid state of matter and temperature increases with increasing depth
200
Layers age
Youngest always found on the top, oldest always found on bottom
200
Principles of super position
An undisturbed rock, the bottom layer is old and the top is young
200
Climate
Climate is long term (30 or more)
300

-innovative
300
Mantel Characteristics
Solid state of matter with a composition of silicon and iron
300
Index Fossils are
Wide spread and existed for a brief period of time
300
Principles of original horizontally
Layers must be horizontal with originally deposited
300
Factors that define climate
Average temperature, average precipitation, and seasonal change
400
Parts of a wind turbine
Blades, hulb, tower, nacelle
400
Asthenosphere Characteristics
Plastic layer and solid state of matter
400
Igneous Characteristics
Intrusive cool slowly inside the earth, Extrusive cools quick and outside the earth
400
Cross cutting
Features like faults and intrusions must be younger than the rock they cut into
400
Air pressure caused by
Unequal heating of earth's surface
500
Turbine blades depend on three forces
Lift, drag, and torque
500
Oceanic Crust Characteristics
More dense 5 to 7 miles and the state of matter is solid
500
Sedimentary Characteristics
Sediment forms in layers, three steps - weathering and erosion, deposition, and compaction
500
Unconformity
A gap in the rock record
500
Air pressure decreases when you increase
temperature, humidity, and elevation
