  1. percentage of moisture the air holds relative to the amount it could hold at a given temperature relative humidity

  2. movement of water through an ecosystem condensation evaporation precipitation run-off water cycle

  3. a mountain formed by rock movement along a normal fault fault-block mountain

  4. a mountain formed by the collision of two continental boundaries folded mountain

  5. occurs mostly along tectonic plate boundaries and can occur in the middle of plates along fault lines earthquake activity

  6. outer space heated by the sun’s radiation Middle layer; heated by the stratosphere contains the ozone Life-supporting; weather occurs here Layers of Earth’s Atmosphere

  7. herbivore a plant eater

  8. too small to be seen without a microscope microorganism

  9. visible to the unaided eye macro organism

  10. the feeding relationship between a producer and a single chain of consumers

  11. Feeding relationship between many different producers and consumers Many food chains food web

  12. habitat the natural environment in which a living thing gets all it needs

  13. a particular environment and all the living things supported by it ecosystem

  14. carrying capacity All full! No more room or resources for certain species in an area.

  15. Pattern in space Flocks, herds, geese in the air, fish in schools Pattern in Time Leaves falling, animal birth, migration

  16. Adaptation a change that helps a species survive and reproduce • Characteristic: body structure, the way it eats, the way its body processes materials • Behavior: the way it acts • Inherited trait: passed from parent

  17. Pangaea supercontinent that existed 200 million years ago

  18. Thickest layer, molten rock Earth’s Layers Thin, outermost layer of Earth Molten metal Center, solid, metallic sphere

  19. rock block slides up and pushes together along a fault rock block slides down and pulls apart along a fault sideways movement along a fault plane

  20. Convection currents

  21. Plate Boundaries: A. Divergent B. Convergent C. Transform

  22. tsunami a water wave caused by an earthquake

  23. the instrument which records ground movement seismograph

  24. point on the Earth’s surface directly above fault movement the underground point where rocks begin to move

  25. steep, cone-shaped volcano composed of cinders and rock fragments

  26. broad, flat-domed volcano composed of many thin, hardened lava layers

  27. cone-shaped volcano composed of layers of lava and hardened rock

  28. a volcano that has not erupted recently but could erupt in the near future dormant volcano

  29. extinct volcano a volcano that has not erupted in recorded history

  30. Rock Cycle Metamorphic Rock formed under heat and pressure Igneous Rock formed from cooled melted rock Sedimentary Rock formed from layers of pressed or cemented sediments

  31. Some Characteristics of Minerals Color Luster (shine) HardnessStreak

  32. geothermal energy energy made from the heat inside the Earth

  33. energy released during a chemical reaction Chemical energy

  34. electrical energy energy produced from the flow of electrons

  35. solar energy Energy made by the sun’s rays

  36. fuel sources which when used up are all gone, there is nothing to replace them (i.e. coal, oil, natural gas, uranium, minerals, rocks) Nonrenewable resources

  37. fuel sources which naturally replace themselves (i.e. sunlight, wind, water) renewable resources

  38. energy in motion kinetic energy

  39. stored energy potential energy

  40. a forward force produced in reaction to escaping gases thrust

  41. 3rd charge; pressurizes the body tube and ejects the recovery system thrust charge 1st charge; provides lift-off and acceleration 2nd charge; allows rocket to slow down; provides smoke to track the rocket

  42. nozzle part of the rocket that accelerates the exhaust gas to a high velocity as it is expelled from the engine

  43. weather The condition of the earth’s atmosphere at a particular time and place Happens in the Troll Sphere…I mean Troposphere

  44. Changes in weather Uneven heating by the sun Moving air masses Air pressure changes

  45. cirrus dry weather, but rain may develop stratus overcast, steady rain cumulus dry weather cumulonimbus stormy cloud types

  46. fronts boundaries between air masses

  47. sea breeze wind blows from water to land during the day land breeze wind blows from land to water at night

  48. temperature air pressure wind humidity weather influencers

  49. measures air pressure barometer

  50. PS- Air pressure goes down as heat goes up Air pressure goes down as we travel up in the atmosphere I’m hot but at least it’s less pressure Ah…so much less pressure up here
