5 points venus
2nd from sun almost the same size as earth very volcanic very harsh very dense atomsphere TERM 2
5 points Jupiter
DEFINITION 2 giant planet 5th from sun mostly liquid and gas 11 times the size of earth 1 million times greater atmoshperic pressure than earth TERM 3
Isositaty
DEFINITION 3 the vertical positioning of the crust so that gravitational and buoyant forces balance one another Areas of continental crust stand higher than areas of oceanic crust, because continental crust is thicker and less dense than oceanic crust TERM 4
Seismic Waves
DEFINITION 4 body waves-earth's interior surface waves- earth's surface TERM 5
Primary waves
DEFINITION 5 longitudnal compress and expand the material through which they move compression/expansion occurs parallel to the waves direction of travel
Love Waves
horizontal furface motion is side to side whip like side to side motion occurs perpendicular to the waves direction of travel TERM 7
3 pts Mantle
DEFINITION 7 rich in silicon and oxygen divided into upper and lower thickest layer 65% of Earth's mass TERM 8
Asthenosphere
DEFINITION 8 so solid but behaves in a plastic-like manner alowing it to flow easily constant flowing greatly affects the surface features of the crust TERM 9
Lithosphere
DEFINITION 9 upper mantle above the asthenosphere it is important to the movement of continent b.c it rides on top of the asthenosphere TERM 10
Plate Tectonics
DEFINITION 10 Theory explaining the dramatic changing surface features of the earth largest plate is the pacific plate 8 main lithosphere plates
Protists
autotrophs or hetotrophs reproduce sexually or asexually amoebas TERM 17
2 adaptations of plants on land
DEFINITION 17 Roots and Shoots TERM 18
Alternation of Generations
DEFINITION 18 sporophyte-diploid to gametophyte-haploid TERM 19
Coral Bleaching
DEFINITION 19 when h2o temp goes up the photosynthesizing dinoflagellets leave if they don't come back coral die and become white b.c the dinoflagelates give them color. TERM 20
Flatworms
DEFINITION 20 bilateral symmatry same hole for mouth and anus
Roundworms
longitudal muscles mouth and anus different holes TERM 22
Arthropods
DEFINITION 22 Segmented bodies good spidey sences TERM 23
Mollusks
DEFINITION 23 most have outer shell mantle secrete shell TERM 24
Chordates
DEFINITION 24 vertibrate brain tail gill slits TERM 25
Mammals
DEFINITION 25 have hair have mamory glands
Trophic levels
interaction
Top Predator Tetietry Consumer-Carnivores 2ndary Consumers-omnivores and carnivores primary consumers- herbivores producers-plants TERM 32
Energy Transfer in trophic levels
DEFINITION 32 plants get majority of energy and every time it transfers or gets eaten it loses 90% each time so by the time the snake gets it it's very small in term of calories TERM 33
Niche
DEFINITION 33 all the abiotic and biotic resources a species uses from it's community TERM 34
Competitive exclustion
DEFINITION 34 two species can't have the exact same ecological niche because one will be a better competor and beat out the lower competitor Ex. two types of paramesis apart from each other thrive but together they suffer till one beats out the other to extinct then the last one can thrive alone TERM 35
Symbiosis
DEFINITION 35 two individuals from two different species living in association with each other.
Mutualism
both species benefit from each other TERM 37
Profundal Zone
DEFINITION 37 deep water where most fish are and eat organic waste that drifts from the top TERM 38
Nertic Zone
DEFINITION 38 Near to the coast underwater lots of nutrients ex. coral feef TERM 39
Primary Succession
DEFINITION 39 starts from volcanoes or glaciers melting. Rocks no soil, eventually tough plants grow moss there then grass then shrubs then trees it becomes colonized. TERM 40
Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis
DEFINITION 40 The Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis states that local species diversity is maximized when ecological disturbance is neither too rare nor too frequent.
Nebulor Theory
a collection of gas and dust started spinning and formed a protosun the faster it spins the more disk like it became with the protosun in the middle. Then the dust particles gather causing planets to form. The faster it spins the greater the gravity force. TERM 47
Solar Radiation
DEFINITION 47 the earth is tilted on 23.5 axis
