Q

The energy of an object due to its motion (kinetic) or position (potential).

A

Mechanical Energy

18
Q

Energy that comes from the movement of particles in matter. The faster they move, the hotter it gets.

A

Heat (Thermal) Energy

18
Q

Energy that comes from the movement of particles in matter. The faster they move, the hotter it gets.

A

Heat (Thermal) Energy

18
Q

Energy released from the nucleus of an atom, either through splitting (fission) or joining (fusion).

A

Nuclear Energy

19
Energy carried by vibrations through air or another medium.
Sound Energy
20
Energy that travels in waves, including visible light, infrared, UV, and others.
Radiant (Light) Energy
21
A wheel with a rope around it used to lift things.
Pulley
22
A bar that turns on a point (called a fulcrum)
Lever
23
An inclined plane wrapped around a pole.
Screw
24
A wheel connected to a rod (axle); turning one turns the other.
Wheel and Axle
24
A flat surface set at a slant to help move things up or down.
Inclined Plane
25
A pointed tool that splits or cuts things.
Wedge
26
is made up of the crust and the top of the mantle that is divided into several constantly (very slowly) moving tectonic plates of solid rock that hold the continents and oceans.
Lithosphere
27
The ___________ is the soft, hot, and flowing layer of the Earth that lies just below the lithosphere.
Asthenosphere
28
How do the layers of the earth differ from one another?
*Depth or thickness * composition *rigidity *temperature
29
Most studied layer of the earth:
crust
30
It is that theory that the lithrosphere is divided into several plates that glide over the earth's mantle
Plate Tectonics
30
Who is the Deutsch (German) scientist that noticed: * The Coastlines of Africa, and south america looked like they are puzzle pieces when you combine them together.
Alfred Wegener
31
It states that the continents were once joined together in one large mass called "Pangea".
Continential Drift Theory
32
Why do tectonics plates move?
Gravity causes plates to sink into the mantle
33
Plates move apart New crust forms (like in mid-ocean ridges) Example: Mid-Atlantic Ridge
Divergent Boundary
34
Plates move toward each other One plate may go under another (subduction) or push upward to form mountains Example: Himalayas
Convergent Boundary
34
Plates slide past each other Causes earthquakes Example: San Andreas Fault
Transform Boundary
35
Sudden movement of the ground Caused by the abrupt release of energy that has accumulated over time. Shockwaves (seismic wave radiate from their point of origin called the focus The point directly above the focus is called the epicenter
Earthquakes
36
Produced by the sudden movement along faults and plate boundaries & Caused by rising lava due to convection currents in the earth.
Tectonic Earthquakes
37
is an instrument that responds to ground displacement and shaking such as caused by quakes, volcanic eruptions, and explosions. They are usually combined with a timing device and a recording device to form a seismograph.
Seismometer (seismograph)
38
Reason for major catastrophe’s:
Earthquakes, Landslides, volcanic eruptions.
39
Changes due to unfortunate catastrophe’s:
Destroyed buildings and roads due to earthquakes.
40
______ plate boundaries crashing into each other in the sea causing Tsunamis
Convergent
41
is a horseshoe-shaped path around the Pacific Ocean known for its high concentration of active volcanoes and earthquakes.
The Ring of Fire
