GENSCI

• An organized body of knowledge gathered over a long period of time to explain the world we live in

  SCIENCE
• Variable changed by the experimenter

  INDEPENDENT VARIABLE
• Variable that responds to the variable that is changed in the eperiment

  DEPENDENT VARIABLE
• Group that receive treatment

  EXPERIMENTAL GROUP
• Opposite of experimental


  CONTROL GROUP
• It is what we think the answer to the question is, and it should state in terms of the variables defined

  LUMINOUS INTENSITY
• The solid part and the largest portion of the earth

  LITHOSPHERE
• The liquid part, It covers about 71 % of the earth's surface

  HYDROSPHERE
• the gaseous portion that envelopes the earth

  ATMOSPHERE
• The region where living things are found

  BIOSPHERE
• Rocks that are formed from hardened magma and lava

  igneous rocks
• rocks that are from deposited fragments or particles of other rocks that have weathered and eroded

  Sedimentary rocks
• Rocks that have undergone changes due to heat and pressure

  Metamorphic rocks
• term for all processes which combine to cause the disintegration and chemical alteration of rocks at or near earth surface.

  Weathering
• includes all the process of loosening, removal, and transportation which tend to wear away the earth’s surface.

  Erosion
• the conversion of unconsolidated sediment into solid rock.

  Lithification
•  the study of the earth’s atmosphere, weather and climate

  Meteorology
• the daily condition of the earth’s atmosphere

  Weather
• general conditions of temperature and precipitation in a large area over a long period of time.

  Climate
• Gases found in the atmosphere:

  • reacts with chemicals to produce nitrates, which are used by living things for the manufacture of proteins
  • is returned to the atmosphere by the process of decay

  Nitrogen
• Gases found in the atmosphere:

  1. 21%

  -used for respiration

  -for combustion processes

  Oxygen
• Layers in the atmosphere

  • layer where life exists
  • where different weather conditions prevail
  • has lowest temperature

  Troposphere
• Layers in the atmosphere

  • contains ozone that serves as a protective shield against UV rays.
  • where jetstream is found

  Stratosphere
• Layers in the atmosphere

  layer where meteoroids that enter the earth’s atmosphere are burned.

  Mesosphere
• Layers in the atmosphere

  contains ions that are used for radio communications

  Ionosphere
• Layers in the atmosphere

  orbit space for artificial satellites.

  Exosphere
• The uneven temperature and pressure in the atmosphere result in the movement of air

  winds
• examples of winds that result from the differences in the absorption and reflection of thermal energy by different materials of Earth.

  Monsoons
• the study of how living things interact with their environment.

  Ecology
• Ecological Factors: all living factors in the environment

  BIOTIC
• Ecological Factors: nonliving factors that are essential to living organism

  Abiotic
• Ecology: a group of the same species living together
