| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Convergent Plate Boundary | Plates move toward each other. (Ex. Himalayan Mountains) |
| Peach, Hard boiled egg, or baseball | Examples of things that can be used to model the major layers of the Earth. |
| Crust, Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core | The present layers of the interior Earth. |
| Crust | The thin solid outermost layer of Earth; made of less dense silicates and is continental (landmasses) or oceanic (ocean bottoms) |
| Inner Core | is the sphere of solid nickel and iron at the center of Earth; surrounded by the liquid outer core. |
| Mantle | The solid layer of the Earth between the curst and the core; made of dense silicates |
| Plasticity | The condition of material in the Asthenosphere, existing in a solid state yet having the ability to flow without being a liquid. |
| Lithosphere | is the cool, rigid, outermost layer of Earth that consists of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle; pieces of this layer are called ___________ic plates. |
| Divergent Plate Boundary | The plates move away from each other. (Ex. African Rift Valley) |
| Transform Plate Boundary | The plates slide past each other can also be a fault line. (Ex. San Andreas / New Madrid) |
| The Major Tectonic Plates | North American, South American, Eurasian, African, Indo-Australian, Antarctic, and Pacific (must be able to recognize what these plates look like) |
| Convergent | Mountain building usually occurs at this type of plate boundary |
| The 3 types of rocks | sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic |
| sediments | is broken bit of rock. This can be rock fragments, minerals, or organic material (ex. bark or leaves from a tree.) |
| magma | melted rock or crust under the Earth's surface |
| rock cycle | the process in which a rock changes and forms into other rocks. |
| lava | melted rock or crust on or outside the earth's surface. (ex.volcanoes erupt this) |
| meteoroid | a small, rocky particle that moves through space. |
| meteorite | is a meteoroid that strikes a planet or moon |
| meteor | is a streak of light in Earth's atmosphere made by a glowing meteoroid (it burns up in the atmosphere). "falling or shooting star" |
| Venus | the planet that is about the size of Earth |
| gravity | Mercury does not have an atmosphere because there is not enough_____________. |
| False | Humans have landed on Mars. |
| Revolution | when a planet completes it's orbit around the sun (a year) |
| Space Shuttle | an important part of the U.S. Space program for over 20 years. |
| Rotation | when a planet turns on its axis (day and night) |
| N.A.S.A. | National Aeronautics Space Administration |
| Venus | the hottest planet |
| Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars | inner planets |
| International Space Station | the earth orbiting research laboratory where astronauts work and live. It is being built by several nations. |
| Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune | outer planets |
| Mar and Jupiter | the asteroid belt is located between the planets _______ and __________. |
| Eris, Pluto, MakeMake, Ceres | The four dwarf planets |
| Helium and Hydrogen | The two gases that make up most of the outer planets |
| rock and metal | The inner planets are made of ______ and ______ and have a solid outer layer |
| gravity | the force that controls the orbit of all objects in the Solar System. |
| comets | made of rock, ice, and dust |
| Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto | the four Galilean Moons |
| Sputnik 1 | the first satellite to enter Earth's orbit |
| Mercury | the smallest planet |
| Gas Gaints | the outer planets are called _______ ______. |
| Mars | the planet with the volcano higher than Mt. Everest |
| Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune | the 8 planets in order from the sun. (know these from Neptune back to the Sun...and which planet comes before or after each other. Ex. What planet comes between Jupiter and Uranus? |
| eukaryote | a cell that has a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles. |
| Protista | the only kingdom in the Eukarya Domain that are unicellular |
| cells | the building blocks, foundation, or basic unit of all living things |
| reproduction | when organisms produce more of their own kind |
| prokaryote | a cell that DOES NOT have a nucleus or other membrane bound organelles. |
| Protista, Fungi, Plantea, Animalia | the 4 kingdoms under the Eukarya domain |
| Nucleus | where the genetic materials that controls the eukaryotic cell are stored |
| Archaea and Bacteria | the 2 kingdoms that have the same name as the domain they are classified in |
| Plant and Animal | the two types of eukaryotic cells |
| Archaea, Bacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantea, Animalia | The 6 kingdoms |
| Cell Wall | NOT ALL eukaryotic cell are surrounded by a __________ ______. |
| Cell Membrane | ALL cells are surrounded by a ________ _______. |
| Eukarya | the domain that contains all eukaryotic cells |
| Cytoplasm | the liquid part of the cell |
| Archaea live in extreme environments such as "high temperature" (heat vents in bottom of the ocean), geysers, salty (Dead Sea), acidic, or alkaline and Bacteria do not. | How scientist determine the difference between Domains Archaea and Bacteria |
| Cell Membrane | the guard or doorman of the cell. It controls what enters and leaves the cell. |
| Archaea and Bacteria | the 2 domains that have prokaryotic cells |
| Mitochandria | is the energy converter of the cell. "the powerhouse" |
| Archaea, Bacteria, Eukarya | the 3 domains |
| Taxonomy | the branch of science that classifies organisms |
| Domain | the broadest category that classifies living things |
| Domains - Archaea, Bacteria, Eukarya Kingdoms - Archaea, Bacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantea, Animalia | The diagram illustrated the groupings of Domain s and Kingdoms (Know this well enough to know what is missing or in the wrong Domain.) |
| Heterotrophic | is an organism that has to obtain its nutrients (food) from other sources. |
| Sexual reproduction | is reproduction that occurs when the genetic information from two parent cells join together to form a new offspring |
| Autotrophic | is an organism that CAN produce its own food |
| Asexual | when one parent cell divides its genetic information to form a new offspring |
| unicellular | an organism made up of only one cell. |
| What type of cell? Prokaryotic/Eukaryotic How many cells? unicellular/multicellular How does it obtain nutrients? autotroph/hetertroph How does it reproduce? asexual/sexual | the questions scientists asks and the characteristics they use to determine what kingdoms organisms are placed in |
| multicellular | an organism made up of MORE THAN ONE cell. |
| organism | a living thing |
| speed | the distance an object travels in respect the the time it takes to travel that distance. (distance divided by time - formula) |
| x-axis | the horizontal line on a graph (always locate this label first) |
| y-axis | the vertical line on a graph (locate this after locating the point on the x-axis) |
| time | is always located on the x-axis on a distance-time graph or a speed-time graph |
| distance and speed | are located on the y-axis on a distance-time graph or a speed-time graph |
| D/T=S Distance divided by Time | Formula for speed. Be able to calculate speed in a word problem. See your old journal. |
