QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ALL
CORRECT
What causes the seasons? - Answer-The tilt of the Earth's axis. The earths orbit is not a
perfect circle. There are points in its cycle when its closer to the sun, and it does NOT
dictate the weather
What are the layers of the earth? (from the inside to the outside) - Answer-inner core,
outer core, mantle, crust
How did earth form? - Answer-a mass of dust and gas spinning as gravity pulled it
together
How did the continents move? - Answer-the asthenosphere is made of rocks that are so
hot that they have become soft. these rocks are soft enough that they are able to move,
but very very slowly. this slow movement is caused by a process called convection. the
rigid lithosphere is able to float on the asthenosphere. therefore, as the asthenosphere
slowly moves, the lithosphere and its tectonic plates move along with it. this is what
causes continental drift—finally, we have a mechanism for wegener's theory.
How do plants pollinate? - Answer-Birds, bees, water and wind
How do the plates move? - Answer-Plates move due to the convection (heated from
below and cooled from above) in the mantle
How do we know about Pangea? - Answer-The way and pattern dinosaur fossils were
found throughout all of the continents
How do we know about the earth's core? - Answer-- seismic waves from earthquakes
- earth's gravitational field
- earth's magnetic field
How long does it take for a moon to cycle? - Answer-28 Days (a month)
absorbed - Answer-be taken in as heat
air pressure - Answer-due to the weight of the air and is determined by several factors
including the temperature of the air
Anabolism - Answer-Metabolic pathways that construct molecules, requiring energy.
, anemometer - Answer-measures wind speed
Animal cells have - Answer-Nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria,
ribosomes
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek - Answer-a Dutch tradesman and scientist who is known as
"the Father of Microbiology;" the first person to see bacteria through a microscope; best
known for his work on the improvement of the microscope and his work which led to the
creation of the field of study called microbiology
Archean Eon - Answer-Eon extending from the time that life originated, 3.8 billion years
ago, to 2.5 billion years ago. We have rocks and the first signs of life now in this era.
Still no to little oxygen.
Atom - Answer-the smallest particle of matter
ATP - Answer-(adenosine triphosphate) main energy source that cells use for most of
their work
barometer - Answer-measures air pressure
Behavioral Adaptations - Answer-certain types of activities that animals perform, which
help them meet a life need. (EX: migration and hibernation)
black - Answer-absorbs all colors
Body Waves - Answer-seismic waves that travel through the Earth's interior
Body Waves: (P Waves) - Answer-- pressure wave (or Primary wave)
- can travel through air, liquid, and solid
- moves parallel
Body Waves: (S Waves) - Answer-- shear wave (or Secondary wave)
- moves perpendicular (slower)
- can only travel through solids
Carbon Cycle - Answer-a process where carbon dioxide travels from the atmosphere
into living organisms and the Earth, then back into the atmosphere
Catabolism - Answer-Metabolic pathways that break down molecules, releasing energy.
cellular respiration - Answer-Is a series of chemical reactions that break down glucose
to produce ATP, which may be used as energy to power many reactions throughout the
body.
