| A | B |
|---|
| earthquakes occur | where 2 plates meet |
| scientists use models when | things are too small, too lare, or too far away |
| Rift Valleys are NOT | formed where continental plate and oceanic plate collide |
| Subducted means | going UNDER |
| fossils found in Africa and S. America are | mesosaurs, cynoganthus, and glossopteris |
| Wegener's theory of Continental Drift was rejected because | he could not identify a foce that could move the continents |
| Water freezing and thawing inside cracks of rocks | loosens rock and causes it to fall |
| The coast of Washington state has | oceanic plate sinking, continental plate colliding, volcanic mts heing formed |
| Erosion occurs when | rainwater dissolves volcanic rock |
| in topographic maps | the lines for mts are closer together |
| melting must occur for | magma to be formed |
| Mountains are built from | plates that collide (move together) |
| volcanoes are formed from | divergent boundaries (move apart) |
| to find the volume of a solid (rock) in a graduated cylinder | subtract the two measurements |
| the Big Bang Theory is supported by | galaxies are moving away from each other |
| The Big Bang Theory says that | the universe is filled with EMS waves that travel all over |
| On the Hertzprung-Russell Diagram | Betelgeuse is brighter and cooler than the sun |
| The Milky Way is a | spiral galaxy |
| A wave travels through a | medium (air, water, solids) |
| The primary factor that says what a star will do in its life is | how much mass it has |
| The force that pulls gas and dust together in nebulae is | gravity |
| The most likely outcome for a super high mass star (Betelgeuse) is | a black hole |
| White dwarfs are | low in brightness and average in temperature |
| The sun is an average star belonging to the | main sequence group |
| magnitude is the same as | brightness |
| With a Main Sequence star | as the temperature increases, the brightness increases |
| In order from largest to smallest = | universe-galaxy-solar system-planet |
| the 3 types of galaxies are: | spiral, irregular, elliptical |
| all galaxies are | made of stars |
| the most likely reason bluish-white stars are the same color is | they have similar temperatures |
| energy is trasnferred from the sun to earth by | electromagnetic waves |
| the Earth's sun is | an average star in size and temperature |
| the type of wave with the most energy is a | gamma ray |
| the type of wave that has the highest frequencey is a | gammy ray |
| the only type of wave that can be seen by the human eye is | colors |
| the wave with the longest wavelenght and used to explore the universe is a | radio wave |
| If you are identifying a trend or pattern on a graph, you need to be able to | interpret data |
| an example of a qualitataive observation is | the color green |
| a hypothesis is | a logical interpretation based on observations or prior knowledge |
| the safety measure you should use for every lab is to | follow teacher's instructions |
| the manipulated variable is | the one you can control (temperature) |
| the responding variable is the one that changes | as a result of the manipulated variable (water melts) |
| the equipment needed to measure the boiling point of a liquid would be | beaker, hot plate, and thermometer |
| to read the volume on a graduated cylinder, look at the | meniscus (dip)...answer=43 |
| the greatest limitation of a model set up to show an eclipse is | the sizes and distances are not right |
| after reading some facts about the flu vaccine, the most VALID (correct) argument in favor of getting the shot is | #3=85% of the people has fewer flu episodes |
| You can find information about storing chemicals on the | MSDS sheet |
| When working with flammable (catch on fire) things in a lab, you should | make sure there are no open flames or sparks |
| to measure mass on a triple beam balance | ADD all 3 numbers (144.1) |
| a wavelength is SHORT if | the marks are CLOSE together |
| a wave's frequency is HIGH if | the marks are CLOSE together |
| net force is | combined forces (add if going same direction. subtract if going in different directions |
| balanced equations have the | same number atoms of elements on each side |
