| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Distance units | meters, kilometers, feet, miles |
| Density units | Grams per milliliter (g/ml), grams per cubic meter (g/cm3) |
| Volume units | milliliters (ml), cubic centimeters (cm3) |
| Mass units | grams (g), kilograms (kg) |
| Rate of change | value/time |
| Distance in outer space units | Light Years (ly) |
| Distance in Solar system | Astronomical Units (AU) |
| Density is | the mass of an object taking up a volume or the amount of stuff in a space |
| Density will change when __ and __ are applied | Heat and pressure |
| Density of water | 1 g/ml |
| Density of ice | .98 g/ml |
| A particle will float if its density is ___ whatever substance its in | less than |
| A particle will sink if its density is ___ whatever substance its in | more than |
| Latitude runs | north and south of the equator (parallel to equator) |
| Latitude is based off of | the angle polaris (north star) makes with the horizon |
| Longitude runs | east and west of prime meridian (parallel to prime meridian) |
| Longitude is based on | the angle of insolation on the equinox at that location |
| When writing longitude and latitude, which comes first? | Latitude (N/S) is first before longitude (E/W) |
| How many degrees longitude equals a time difference of an hour | 15 degrees |
| As you move east, time moves ___ | ahead/foward |
| As you move west, time moves ___ | behind/backwards |
| Solar Noon | "real" time based on when the sun's light hits the Earth |
| Local time | our time based on "fictional" time zones |
| To draw an isoline you... | connect points of equal value |
| Contours are | isolines that show elevation |
| Contour interval | the difference in elevation between isolines |
| Benchmarks | contour lines that state their elevation |
| Water always flows | downhill |
| The cardinal directions are | North, East, South and West |
| What saying can help you remember the cardinal directions | Never Ever Smoke Weed, Never Eat Soggy Waffles, Never Eat, Sour Watermelon, Never Eat Shredded Wheat |
| Gradient | how much a value (elevation, temperature) changes over a particular distance |
| Specific heat | the amount of heat required to raise of gram of material by 1 degree celsius |
| Latent heat is | the energy stored in the atmosphere |
| Laten heat is released | during cloud formation and weather events |
| Kepler's 1st Law | Law of ellipses - ratio of distance between foci and the major axis give us the eccentricity of an ellipse |
| Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation | The force of gravity is inversely proportional to the distance between two objects |
| The closer objects are the __ the force of gravity will be | stronger |
| The further apart objects are the __ the force of gravity will be | weaker |
| The force of gravity is directly proportional to | the mass of an object |
| The more mass an object has the ___ gravity it will exert | more |
| Gravity is a __ force | attractive, it pulls objects together |
