Perfectly

Parts of a cell

Cell membrane, the nucleus, and the cytoplasm

Refers to the unusual cooling of ocean surface and favors formation of tropical cyclone

La nina

separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment

cell membrane

Have molecules that are very close to eachother

Solid

the repository of genetic information and as the cell's control center.

The nucleus

What are the three laws of motion

Law of inertia, acceleration, interaction

is the gelatinous liquid that fills the inside of a cell.

cytoplasm

An object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion remains in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force

Law Of Inertia

the acceleration of the object as produced by the net force is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object

Law of Acceleration

Positively charged subatomic particle

Proton

for every action, there is an equal opposite reaction

Law of Interaction

Have molecules that are very far from eachother

Gas

Push or pull

Force

a substance that can be dissolved into a solution by a solvent

solute

A negatively chargd subatomic particle

Electron

have molecules that are not so close to eachother

Liquid

any substance, usually liquid, which is capable of dissolving one or several substances, thus creating a solution.

Solvent

a combination of two or more pure substances in which each pure substance retains its individual chemical properties

Mixture

the process by which heat is transferred from the hotter end to the colder end of an object

Conduction

a bond resulting from attractions between positive ions and surrounding mobile electrons.

metallic bond

s a process where heat waves are emitted that may be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted through a colder body

Radiation

the process of transferring heat through air or liquid currents

Convection

attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound.

ionic bond

the process of heating an electrically conducting object (usually a metal) by electromagnetic induction

Induction

the mutual sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between two atoms

Covalent bond

an organism that creates its own food or energy

Producer

The outermost layer of the earth and the thinnest layer

Crust

, a trait that must be contributed by both parents in order to appear in the offspring

Recessive traits

those which are more likely to be inherited due to their stronger allele expression compared to recessive alleles

dominant traits

any organism that breaks down or eats decaying material for its energy source

decomposerq

Solid but capable of flow

Mantle

Solid sphere composed mostly of iron

Inner core

Molten metal beneath the mantle

Outer core

A discontinuity that talks about the boundary between the crust and the earth

Mohorovicic Discontinuity

A discontinuity that talks about the core and mantle

Gutenberg Discontinuity

A discontinuity that talks about the outer and inner core

Lehmann Discontinuity

Creator of the mohorovicic discontinuity

Andrija Mohorovicic

Creator of the Gutenberg disc

Beno Gutenberg

Creator of the lehmann disc

Inge lehmann

Changes the direction of compass

Magnetic reversals

4 evidences that support the Continental drift theory

The Jigsaw Fit, Fossil Evidence, Rock Evidence, Coal deposits Evidence

the movement of the mantle as it transfers heat from the white-hot core to the brittle lithosphere.

Mantle convection

Continents were once one in their shapes

The Jigsaw Fit

Glossopteris was a woody, seed-bearing shrub or tree. Fossils of this plant are found in Australia.

Fossil Evidence

Supercontinent formed 200 million years ago

Pangaea

Meaning of pangaea

Entire earth or All earth

The creator of continental drift theory

Alfred wegener

The broad belts of rocks and mountains of south america and africa line up perfectly as if they were once a long mountain range

Rock Evidence

Scientists found coal evidences on Antartica, Antartica must have been situated in a different location on the planet

Coal deposits evidence

A type of nuclear reaction wherein the two light nuclei will fuse to form one heavier nucleus

Nuclear Fusion

SONAR

Sound Navigation and Raging

causes magnetic reversals

SONAR

2 scientists from the seafloor spreading theory

Harry Hess & Robert dietz

It is a combination of the study of alfred wegener, harry hess, and robert dietz

Plate tectonic theory

The theory of lithospheric plates is called

Plate tectonics
