EARTH SCIENCE part 2

matter consists of small particles

matter made of identical atoms

one of the waves that are propagated by simultaneous periodic variations of electic and magnetic feild intensity and that include radio waves,infrared visible light, UV, xrays and gamma rays

distance btw waves

an assembly of millions of stars, nebulas and planets

these heavenly bodies(sun planets moons asteroids and comets

all of these forms of radiation are related to one another

many different types od electromagnetic waves.

chemical bar code or fingerprint identitying the specific element that producesd it through the color it emits

whic is atool that uses prism to separate wave lengths of light

change in poistion of the spectral lines

change in pitch of a sound wave caused by stretching or compression

leftover radition from the big bang

are our best current explantion of observed and mesured facts

protons and nuetrons and electrons

three smallest elements

high speed particle reactors

large clouds of dust and gas

ball of hydrogen gass

the process where small atoms are smashed together so that their center (nuclei) merger, becoming larger atom

caused by the fusion of hydrogen into helium in the core

stable star

star that are big and hot

• fuse hydrogen slowly
• EX sun

a shock wave develops which bounces off the core, tearing through the layers of the star, shockwave triggers runaway nuclear fusion ar a fantastic rate adn the star explodes

• it helps moderate climate
• helps in reprodutions
• it captures heat

• SUNJ
• S-saturn
• U-uranus
• N-neptune
• J-jupiter

• earth
• venus
• mercury
• mars

the science that seeks to understand how the biotic and abiotuc parts of aregion work 2gether to make a healthy vital enviroment.

all living organisms

• living organisms in an area and the recently dead organic matter
• ex.
• dead leaves, fallen log, animal carcass etc

all the members of one species in an area form

the role these organisms play in the web of life

the raw materials of the land and wate, and conditions like the climate sunlight and tep

is a natural area or region mad up of all the plants animals, microbes, and otheer life forms as they interact with one another and with the physical enviroment

is the ability to do work

it states that nrg cannont be created of destroyed

when ever nrg changes forms some energy is lost as waste heat

the ratio of the usedful energy deliverd by a dynamic system to the energy supplied to it

is the process plants use to convert sunlight energy into food molecules

this chemical triggers the reaction taht akes carbon dioxide from thr air and combines it with water

the substance formered by photosyntheses,

a simple sugar that is used by every type of cell

the base of their food ,owas a type of bacteria that converted inorganic chemicals like hydrogen sulfide(H2s) into food molecules

the amount of heat neede to warm one gram of water one degree celsius

is equal to one thousand small calorie

the way in which an organism gets its food energy

these are organisms that can manufature their own food

depend on other living things for their food

feeding or nutrional intake

feed on and break down dead protoplasm

self feeders

the max number of plants of animals that can be indefinitely maintained by the ecosytem

the group being evaluted

variable tessted for infulence of change

selcetion in an unplanned manner

large scale ecosystems that have distinct types of plants, animals , miccroorganism, soil and climatic condtions

a vast array of diiferent living things

the ability to adapt, survive, and grow even in a changing enviroment

the total mass of the lving things in a region

loss of space for many species

species dies off no longer found alive

humans outcompete other organism for the resource of earth

earth being warmed or cooled

at times nature creates a species that is so specific to one typer of food habita or behaviour taht it cannot survive even the slightest change int eh enviromet

the lack of biodiversity
