Science Exam 3.0 Flashcards
Adhesión
If two different particles or surfaces are near there is an attraction force that makes the two of them cling together this force is called adhesion
Cohesion
Is the force that causes surface tension which also gives water drops their particular shape
Examples
Adhesion tape Velcro
Cohesion glass and water wax and oil
Capillarity
A paper towel that absorbs liquids because it allows water to fill the spaces it has this is called capillarity the liquid climbs the wall of the capillarity tube because of adhesion
Example cap
Sponge paper towel
Osmosis
Osmosis refers to the property of liquid and gas molecules to move behind a permeable membrane without any input of energy
Ex osmosis
Fingers and toes wrinkle
Diffusion
The process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration is called diffusion
Example diffusion
Febreeze graffiti
Theory’s of the world
Continental drift
Tectonic plates
Continental drift
Alfred Wegener created this theory that explains that the continents were once together in a huge landmass called Pangaea
Evidence of TCDT
Landforms
Fossils
Climate
Landforms
Shapes of the continent fit together mountain rages line up
Fossils
Fossils matches from one place and another both plants and animals used
Climate
The fossils in the area didn’t match with the climate
