Science

• Shield volcano is defined by its gentle slope and low viscosity lava
• Mesosphere is the layer in the atmosphere where weather phenomenon is observed
• Weathering is the phenomenon that refers to breaking down or dissolving of material from rocks on the Earth's surface
• Igneous rocks are located in places within an active volcano
• The main type of movement responsible for ridges in seafloor spreading is: Divergent
• Strike-slip is a type of fault movement when masses of rock slide are parallel to the inclination of the fault
• S-waves can not travel through the liquid outer core
• Quartz ranks the hardest in the Mohs hardness scale
• long-period comets usually come from Oort Cloud
• The surviving debris of space rock after entering the atmosphere is called Meteorite
• Proxima centauri is the closest star to the Earth after the sun
• The following movements result in a volcanic arc subduction zone: continental-continental, oceanic-oceanic
• A light year is a unit of distance
• Asthenosphere is a plastic layer below Earth's crust where mantle flow easily
• Vacuole takes up 90% of the shape of plant cells. It is mainly in charge of the storage and maintaining the shape (turgor pressure) of the cell.
• Oxidative phosphorylation is the process in cellular respiration that produces the most ATP
• Fermentation is a type of anaerobic respiration
• C6H12O6 is the formula for glucose
• In the galvin cycle, 1 CO2 molecules produce a NET output of one G3P molecules to create oxygen
• Mitosis produces 2 daughter cells
• Meiosis produces 4 daughter cells
• The chromatids separate to opposite poles of the cell in Anaphase
• The upper chamber of the heart is called Atria
• The lower chamber of the heart is called Ventricles
• Menstruation occurs when the lining of the uterus sheds when there is no fertilized egg
• A breed of chicken has incomplete dominance so a male chicken with white feathers and a female chicken with white feathers will produce a chicken with gray feathers
• Metaphase is a phase of mitosis wherein chromosomes align in the center of the cell
• Lymphatic system is an organ system that maintains fluid levels by removing leaking liquid from blood vessels
• Heterogeneous is a mixture where the composition of the solution is not uniform
• Homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition throughout the mixture
• The standard unit for power is Watt
• Cohesion occurs when particles are less likely to be separated from each other. One of its examples is: honey
• Protons and Neutrons make up the majority of the mass of an element
• In the process of distillation, evaporation and condensation occurs
• If a gas is stored at room temperature and the pressure is reduced by half, the volume of the gas is doubled
• Avogadro's Number is: 6.022 x 10 ^23
• Sublimation occurs when dry ice turns into fog
• Initial energy is equal to the sum of energy at any point in its pathj
• A raindrop falling from the sky has net force acting upon it
• Frictional force is a contact force
