Definition
Heliocentric Theory   the theory first proposed by Copernicus, stating that Earth and other planets revolve around the sun  
🗑
Gravity   a force of attraction between any two objects, it governs the movements of the planets  
🗑
Stars   formed out of clouds of gases and dust in space known as nebula, produce energy through nuclear fusion  
🗑
Big Bang Theory   the universe began in an explosion between 13-15 billion years ago, based upon stars moving away from one another  
🗑
Continental Crust   outermost layer of the Earth  
🗑
Oceanic Crust   lies beneath the ocean  
🗑
Mantle   made up of hot, dense rock, as one moves deeper, the temperature and pressure rise  
🗑
Outer Core of Mantle   made up of molten nickel and iron  
🗑
Inner Core of Mantle   solid, mainly made of iron  
🗑
Lithosphere   made up of crust and top layer of mantle, divided into shifting tectonic plates  
🗑
Divergent Plate Boundary   two tectonic plates spread apart, magma comes through the gap  
🗑
Convergent Plate Boundary   two tectonic plates come together  
🗑
Subduction Zone   oceanic crust dives under lighter continental crust  
🗑
Transform Plate Boundary   two plates slide by horizontally  
🗑
Hydrosphere   made up of all water on Earth's surface, accounts for 70% of Earth's surface  
🗑
Water Cycle   Circulates through evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and run-off

🗑
Atomic Number   reflects the number of protons within an atom  
🗑
Atomic Mass   the sum of protons and neutrons within an atom  
🗑
Electron Energy Levels   each can hold on a specific number of electrons, an atom is most stable when it fills its outermost energy level  
🗑
Ionic Bonds   when a transfer of electrons occurs between two or more atoms, negatively charged ions are attracted to positively charged ions  
🗑
Covalent Bonds   some atoms complete their outer levels by sharing electrons  
🗑
Chemical Reactions   combinations of substances that result in one or more new substances with new physical and chemical properties  
🗑
Balancing Equations   there should be the same number of atoms on each side of a reaction  
🗑
Conservation of Mass   matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction  
🗑
