Q

The basic building block of matter

A

Atom

23
Q

like charges repel each other and unlike changes attract with each other.

A

Laws of Charges

24
Q

if an object is being charged, then the electron is neither created nor destroyed.

A

Law of Conservation

25
Q

involves the transfer of electrons by rubbing objects against each other.

A

Friction

26
Q

involves friction at first to charge an object.

A

Conduction

27
Q

and instrument used to detect the present and kind of charge in an object.

A

Electroscope

28
Q

charging an object without any direct contact

A

Induction

29
Q

corresponds to 0°, the point of reference where all other horizontal lines are measured from.

A

Equator

30
Q

these lines that divide earth horizontally.

A

Latitudes

31
Q

vertical lines which divide earth into wedges.

A

Longitudes

32
Q

Why is Prime meridian is also called Greenwich Meridian

A

because it passes through Greenwich, England.

33
Q

A location that uses a chosen reference that will serve as the basis for its location

A

Relative Location

34
Q

A location that does not change no matter what happens to the surroundings

A

Absolute location

35
Q

Is the location based on the bodies of water surrounding it.

A

Insular Location

36
Q

are materials that can be replaced or replenished over a reasonable period, especially when managed properly.

A

Renewable resources

37
Q

are those that cannot be replaced or replenished over a reasonable amount of time.

A

Nonrenewable Sources

38
Q

are products that come from deep inside earth.

A

Fossil fuels and petroleum

39
Q

Is the process of evaporating a liquid and then cooling the steam at a certain temperature to condense it into its pure substance.

A

Distillation

40
Q

is a mix of water, aggregate (sand and gravel), and cement.

A

Concrete

41
Q

is made up of certain proportions of materials such as calcium, silicon, aluminum,
and iron.

A

cement

42
Q

– is a black, sticky petroleum product made of a polycyclic hydrocarbon that has to be heated to hold the aggregates together.

A

Bitumen

43
Q

are also by-products of petroleum.

A

Petrochemicals

44
Q

– is the measure of the amount of water needed to make a certain product.

A

Water footprint

45
Q

Is the densest part of the atmosphere.

A

Troposphere

46
Q

It contains the OZONE LAYER, which is the layer of the atmosphere that deflects the UV
radiation from the sun.

A

Stratosphere

47
Q

Is a really cool region where it is nearly -90 degrees Celsius at the very top of the layer.

A

Mesosphere

48
Q

In this layer, There is no ozone layer to protect you.

A

Thermosphere

49
Q

is a form of heat transfer by EM waves.

A

Radiation

50
Q

is a natural process that traps heat in Earth’s atmosphere, similar to how a greenhouse traps heat for plants to thrive.

A

Greenhouse effect

51
Q

is the steady, long-term increase in earth’s temperature due to trapped heat in the atmosphere.

A

Global warming and climate change

52
Q

Rising ocean temperatures stress corals, where corals lose their color and starve.

A

Coral Bleaching

53
Q

One of the major sources of greenhouse gases.

A

Burning of fossil fuels

54
Q

Changing the landscape so that it can be used by people, especially farming, increases the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, particularly carbon dioxide.

A

Land use

55
Q

comes from heating up calcium carbonate, producing lime and carbon dioxide.

A

Making cement

56
Q

are particles suspended in the air, including CFCS and sulfates from burnt fossil fuels.

A

Aerosol
