Q

The basic building block of matter

23
Q

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

A

Laws of Charges

24
if an object is being charged, then the electron is neither created nor destroyed.
Law of Conservation
25
involves the transfer of electrons by rubbing objects against each other.
Friction
26
involves friction at first to charge an object.
Conduction
27
and instrument used to detect the present and kind of charge in an object.
Electroscope
28
charging an object without any direct contact
Induction
29
corresponds to 0°, the point of reference where all other horizontal lines are measured from.
Equator
30
these lines that divide earth horizontally.
Latitudes
31
vertical lines which divide earth into wedges.
Longitudes
32
Why is Prime meridian is also called Greenwich Meridian
because it passes through Greenwich, England.
33
A location that uses a chosen reference that will serve as the basis for its location
Relative Location
34
A location that does not change no matter what happens to the surroundings
Absolute location
35
Is the location based on the bodies of water surrounding it.
Insular Location
36
are materials that can be replaced or replenished over a reasonable period, especially when managed properly.
Renewable resources
37
are those that cannot be replaced or replenished over a reasonable amount of time.
Nonrenewable Sources
38
are products that come from deep inside earth.
Fossil fuels and petroleum
39
Is the process of evaporating a liquid and then cooling the steam at a certain temperature to condense it into its pure substance.
Distillation
40
is a mix of water, aggregate (sand and gravel), and cement.
Concrete
41
is made up of certain proportions of materials such as calcium, silicon, aluminum, and iron.
cement
42
– is a black, sticky petroleum product made of a polycyclic hydrocarbon that has to be heated to hold the aggregates together.
Bitumen
43
are also by-products of petroleum.
Petrochemicals
44
– is the measure of the amount of water needed to make a certain product.
Water footprint
45
Is the densest part of the atmosphere.
Troposphere
46
It contains the OZONE LAYER, which is the layer of the atmosphere that deflects the UV radiation from the sun.
Stratosphere
47
Is a really cool region where it is nearly -90 degrees Celsius at the very top of the layer.
Mesosphere
48
In this layer, There is no ozone layer to protect you.
Thermosphere
49
is a form of heat transfer by EM waves.
Radiation
50
is a natural process that traps heat in Earth’s atmosphere, similar to how a greenhouse traps heat for plants to thrive.
Greenhouse effect
51
is the steady, long-term increase in earth’s temperature due to trapped heat in the atmosphere.
Global warming and climate change
52
Rising ocean temperatures stress corals, where corals lose their color and starve.
Coral Bleaching
53
One of the major sources of greenhouse gases.
Burning of fossil fuels
54
Changing the landscape so that it can be used by people, especially farming, increases the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, particularly carbon dioxide.
Land use
55
comes from heating up calcium carbonate, producing lime and carbon dioxide.
Making cement
56
are particles suspended in the air, including CFCS and sulfates from burnt fossil fuels.
Aerosol
