Earth and space science material for test

Matter

anything that has mass and takes up space

Energy

The ability to do work or produce changes in the environment.

Processes

How matter and energy change form within a system.

What are the qualities of graphite.

Graphite is opaque and metallic, very soft, and has a hardness of 1 to 2.

What are qualities of Diamonds

they are transparent, very hard and have a hardness of 10.

How are the molecules in Graphite formed.

The single carbon atoms link up to form sheets of carbon atoms.

How are the molecules in Diamonds formed.

Each carbon atom is strongly bonded to 4 carbon atoms.

Why is the water cycle important.

All organisms need water for life, it is used in many process, regulates temperature on Earth.

Why is carbon cycle important.

All organisms are made of carbon, it is needed by plants, It is released pollutant that makes global warming happen.

Why Is the phosphorus cycle important.

All organisms need phosphorus, It is needed by plants, It is released as a pollutant.

Why is the Nitrogen cycle.

All organisms need nitrogen, It is released as a pollutant, It is stored in the atmosphere and needs to be converted to be unusable by organism.

how does the sedimentary rocks form.

Forms when partials of preexisting rock are transported by water, wind, or gravity and form layers of material. (Sediments/small pieces)

How does igneous rocks form.

Forms when other rock partially melts underground. (Cooling)

How do metamorphic rocks form.

when the rock gets extreme heat and pressure.

Examples of sedimentary rocks.

Sandstone, limestone, and shale

Example of igneous rocks

Granitite, Basalt, obsidian

Examples of metaphoric rocks.

Marble, Genesis, and Schist.

How does sedimentary rocks change form

compaction, weathering, erosion.

How does igneous rocks change form.

Cooling and hardening of magma.

How do metamorphic rocks change form.
