Autotrophs

are organisms that produce their own food using sunlight (photoautotrophs) or chemical energy (chemoautotrophs), forming the base of food chains as primary producers. They convert inorganic carbon (CO) and nutrients into organic matter, sustaining ecosystems by providing energy for heterotrophs. Key examples include plants, algae, and cyanobacteria.

Evaporation

the process of a liquid (like water) turning into an invisible gas (water vapor) without boiling, usually when it gets warm or exposed to air. It happens when particles on the surface gain enough energy to break free and float away, like puddles disappearing in the sun. It is the first step of the water cycle.

Condensation

When gas is cooled and changes into liquid. Heat is released and the gas moves to a liquid. It is the phase transition where vapor (gas) cools and loses energy to become liquid.

precipitation

any form of water—liquid or solid—that falls from Earth's atmosphere to the surface, including rain, snow, sleet, and hail, playing a vital role in the water cycle by returning atmospheric water to the ground.

nucleus

the "brain" or control center of a eukaryotic cell, acting as a membrane-bound organelle that stores the cell's genetic material (DNA).

Solid

Particles are packed tightly together in fixed positions, vibrating but not moving around, resulting in a definite shape and volume.

Liquid

Particles are close together but can move past each other, allowing them to flow and take the shape of a container while maintaining a constant volume.

Gas

Particles are far apart and move freely at high speeds, filling the entire volume and shape of their container.

Europe

Known as the old continent

Inner core

The center of the Earth, which is a solid metal ball (iron and nickel) due to immense pressure, despite temperatures almost as hot as the sun.

Mantle

The thickest layer, comprising about 85% of Earth's volume, located below the crust. It is composed of solid to semi-molten rock (peridotite) that moves in convection currents.

Crust

The outermost, thinnest layer (about 5-70 km thick) where life exists, consisting of oceanic crust (dense, basaltic) and continental crust (less dense, granitic). It is broken into tectonic plates.

Weathering

What is the process by which rocks are broken down into smaller particles called?

Chemical energy

What type of energy is stored in food?

Law of Inertia

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and direction, unless acted upon by an unbalanced external force.

Law of Acceleration

The acceleration of an object depends directly on the net force acting on it and inversely on its mass. This is expressed by the formula F = ma (Force = mass × acceleration). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Torque

The rotational equivalent of linear force, which causes an object to spin around an pivot point or axis.

Sedimentary rocks

form through the accumulation, compaction, and cementation of mineral and organic particles over time

metamorphic rocks

form when existing rocks (parent rocks) undergo profound physical or chemical changes due to intense heat and pressure deep within the Earth
