SCIENCE 1 and 2 Flashcards
or habitable zone
➢ the range of distance
with the right
temperatures for water
to remain liquid.
GOLDILOCKS ZONE
Influences how quickly atoms & molecules
move
TEMPERATURE
Heat coming from Earth is caused by radiogenic heat
from radioactive decay of materials in the core and mantle, and
ejected via active tectonic activities, such as volcanism and plate
movement.
INTERNAL
Dissolves & transports chemicals
within and to and from a cell
WATER
Examples of greenhouse gases?
water
vapor, methane, and carbon dioxide.
Traps heat, shields the
surface from harmful
radiation, and provides
chemicals needed for
life, such as nitrogen and
carbon dioxide.
ATMOSPHERE
The atmosphere of Earth is composed of nitrogen about HOW MANY PERCENT?
78%
Heat provide by the sun is in the form of radiation
which enters Earth. As sunlight strikes Earth, some of the
heat is trapped by a layer of gases called Atmosphere.
EXTERNAL
HOW MANY PERCENT OF OXYGEN IN THE EARTH?
21%
the atmosphere is capable of trapping heat
because of?
greenhouse gasses
Light or chemical energy is used by organisms to run
their life processes such as the process of?
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Used to build and maintain an organism’s body?
NUTRIENTS
give me the 6 essential nutrients
protein, carbs, vitamins, minerals, water, and fat
protect it from flares from
nearby stars and from
harmful radiation
magnetic field
a regularly
interacting or
interdependent group of
items forming a unified
whole?
SYSTEM
a linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass as one organism eats another.
food chain
in this system both energy and matter can’t enter and leave the system?
isolated system
in this system both energy and matter CAN enter and leave the system
open system
in this system only energy can enter and leave the system
Closed system
What is the 4 subsystem of the earth?
geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and atmosphere
what part of the planet makes the magnetic field
outer core
