What scientist is known for his work in Evolution and Natural Selection? Charles Darwin
What is natural selection? ability to adapt to environment in order to survive and reproduce
What does "survival of the fittest" mean? the organisms that have favorable traits that allow them to adapt to an environment will be the ones that survive and reproduce
What is speciation? species is separated geographically and they evolve and adapt into a totally new species. They can no longer reproduce with other species
Why is camouflaging important? protection/survival
What are homologous structures? structures that are similar; means the organisms have a common ancestor
What are analogous structures? means the function is the same; no common ancestor
What causes the tectonic plates to move? convection currents
What drives a convection current? Heat from magma rises; cools and then falls
What layer of earth are convection currents found? Upper part of MANTLE (asthenosphere)
How do plates move at a DIVERGENT plate boundary? Apart/away for one another
What landform is found at a DIVERGENT boundary? mid ocean ridge; rift valley
How do plates move at a CONVERGENT plate boundary? toward each other; collide
What landforms are formed at a CONVERGENT boundary between CONTINENTAL-CONTINENTAL. mountains; crust are same density
What happens at a CONVERGENT boundary between CONTINENTAL-OCEANIC? subduction; Oceanic more dense; goes under Continental
What is formed at a CONTINENTAL-OCEANIC convergent boundary subduction zone? trench
What are constructive processes? process that BUILDS up features of Earth
What are destructive processes? process the BREAKS DOWN features of Earth
What scientist is known for Continental Drift? Alfred Wegener
What was the name of the supercontinent? Pangea
What evidence did Wegener have to prove that Pangea once existed? continents fit together like puzzle pieces, similar Rock/mountain patterns on each coastlines, same fossils found on coastlines
Why didn't the scientific community accept Wegener's theory? He could NOT explain why or how the continents moves
What scientist came along after Wegener to explain the how and why? Harry Hess
What did Harry Hess discover on the ocean floor while on the Navy ship using sonar? Mid ocean ridge
What process did Harry Hess discover that explained why and how the continents move? Seafloor Spreading
What happens during seafloor spreading? magma rises through ridge; cools and forms new crust
Crust farthest from the ridge? younger or older older
Crust closest to the ridge? younger or older younger
What are the 3 types of rocks formed in the rock cycle? sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic
How is sedimentary rock formed? weathering and erosion break rock down into sediments; sediments are compacted and cemented together
How are metamorphic rocks formed? heat/pressure
How are igneous rocks formed? magma cools
What is melted/molten rock called? magma
What type of igneous rock is found INSIDE/BELOW Earth's surface? intrusive
What type of igneous rock is found ON TOP the Earth's surface? extrusive
What type of rock are fossils found in? sedimentary
What is the purpose of an INDEX fossil? to tell the age of a rock
What are the requirements to be considered an index fossil? unique, short lived, widespread
Name 2 common index fossils. trilobite, ammonite
What is the difference between relative age and absolute age? relative: tells if rock is older or younger absolute: tells exact age of rock
Which rock layer is the youngest? bottom or top top
Which rock layer is the oldest? bottom or top bottom
When intrusion cut through rock layers, are they younger or older than the rock they cut through? younger
How is soil formed? weathering
What is physical weathering? substance breaks down into smaller pieces, does NOT change into new substance
What is chemical weathering? changes into new substance
What is surface water? rain/lakes/rivers/streams
What is groundwater? Water underneath the surface; in the ground
What is infiltration? Water soaks into the ground
What does IMPERMEABLE mean? stops things from soaking through
What does PERMEABLE mean? allows thing to soak through
What is runoff? water runs downstream/down to a lower elevation and causes erosion/breaking down
List RENEWABLE resources. Wind, water (hydro), solar (sun), biomass, geothermal
List NONRENEWABLE resources fossil fuels (oil, coal, natural gas), nuclear
What do waves transfer? energy NOT matter
What is the top of a wave called? crest
What is the bottom of the wave called? trough
