Total energy of particles: Thermal Energy

Conservation of Energy No Energy destroyed

Movement of Thermal Energy Heat

Heat Transfer without particle movement. Conduction

Heat transfer occurs from: Hot to Cold

Addition or loss of thermal energy changes arrangement of particles during: Change of State

Temperature of Solid to Liquid Melting Point

Vaporization at Surface Evaporation

Expansion of Matter when heated: Thermal Expansion

Heated Air from Baseboard Heaters: Convection

Kinetic Energy of Particles: Temperature

Characteristic Property of Liquid: Boiling Point

How much matter an object contains? Mass

Mass in a given Volume: Density

Elements are composed of: Atoms

A group of atoms: Molecule

Substances not chemically combined: Mixture

How are liquid water, ice, and water vapor different ? Different states of matter

Distance is changing, an object is in: Motion

Speed is: Distance / Time

You know speed and direction you know: Velocity

Graphing Motion the steepness of the slope shows how: How quickly or slowly the object is moving.

Distance vs time graph a horizontal line shows: Object is not moving

300 kilometers in 3 hours you can find: Average Speed

When Speed vs Time graph is a straight line: Acceleration is constant

Model where Earth is at the center of the system of planets is: Geocentric system

The heliocentric system was supported by Galileo when he discovered: The phases of Venus

Day and night are caused by: Earth’s Rotation

Earth has seasons because: Earth’s axis is tilted as it moves around the sun.

The phase of the moon you see depends on: How much of the sunlit side of the moon faces Earth.

During a Solar Eclipse: The moon is directly between Earth and the sun.

Phase of the moon during lunar eclipse: Full Moon

Tides are caused by: Differences in how much the moon pulls on different parts of Earth.

You are less likely to see a solar eclipse than a lunar eclipse because: You must be in the moon’s shadow to see a solar eclipse.

Process that moves weathered rock: Erosion

Erosion when runoff flows in thin layer: Sheet Erosion

Wind removes surface materials: Deflation

Mechanical weathering rock is worn away by grinding of other rocks: abrasion

Earth’s Layers (From Surface) Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core

Transfer of Energy through empty space: Radiation

Heat Transfer within a fluid: Convection Currents

The point beneath Earth’s surface where rock breaks to trigger earthquake: Focus

Risk of earthquakes on the Pacific Coast is high because: That is where the North American and Pacific plates meet.

Volcanic belts form along: The boundaries of the Earth’s plates.

The volcanoes along converging oceanic plate boundaries may form: An island arc

A volcano that may erupt in the distant future is: dormant

The place where an organism lives: Habitat

Environmental Factor that prevents a population from increasing: Limiting Factor

An organism’s role: Niche’

Study of how things interact with each other and their environment: Ecology
