Exam 4 Study Guide

The breaking down or dissolving of minerals on the surface of Earth.

Geological process in which Earth materials are worn away and transported by natural forces.

The dropping of sediment in a new place.

Physical property. Amount of matter an object has to its volume. How tightly packed molecules are.

The ability to be pounded into thing sheets or movable. Refers to the ability of a material to be hammered or pressed into thin sheets without breaking.

The physical property of the metal which means if we pull the metal it's going to stretch rather than break. The ability to be drawn or pulled into a wire.

The ability to dissolve in another.

The physical form in which a substance exists at room temperature such as a solid, liquid, or gas.

The ability to transfer thermal energy from one area to another

Of a substane depends on its temperature and the quantity of particles that it contains

Is the flow of thermal energy from a hotter object to a colder one.

A storm with violent winds.

A tropical storm in the region of the Indian or Western Pacific Ocean.

A technical document that shares scientific knowledge with a specific audience.

A brief summary of a scientific paper that gives an overview.

Weathering is where rocks and minerals are broken down by the elements of nature into smaller pieces. Erosion is the movement of broken-down, weathered rock from place to place, and deposition means the laying down, or depositing, of broken rock.

Grass and Trees have roots that can prevent erosion by holding onto soil and rocks. They slow down the rate of erosion, and sometimes even cause deposition. These plants help keep the soil in place. On the other hand dirt and leaves are more susceptible to weathering, erosion and deposition. They increase the amount.

Physical Erosion - Wind blowing sand
Water Erosion - The river moving sediments
Wind Erosion - Wind storm made dunes
Glacial Erosion - The Glacier made / shaped a valley
Chemical Erosion - The acid rain dissolving minerals

We can control erosiont better with plants, wind breakers, and buffers, etc.

The difference between physical and chemical changes is that chemical is a process where a substance transforms into new form. While physical is a change in form like shape and size.

Odor Production: The bread smells wonderful
Change in Temperature: Exothermic "hot tea" Indothermic "putting ice in your water"
Changein Color: "I am dyeing my hair"
Evolution of a gas (formation of bubbles): "boiling water"
Precipitate (formation of a solid): "Adding vinegar and milk makes cottage cheese"

Conduction: is a procedure where heat is transferred between objects through physical contact.
Convection: is the type of heat transmission where there is an energy transform within the fluid.
Radiation: refers to the process by which heat is transferred between things without direct physical touch.

Long period of time of dry weather increasing flood risk

An overflow of large water beyond normal confinds which help travel nutrients

A whirling cloud that usually last for 30 seconds to 1 hour

A tropical cyclone in the Atlantic Ocean accompanied by high winds and lightling

Causes massive polution in to the atmosphere. But leads to island creation.

Cause pollution, econsystem lost etc. But a big help in deforrestation.

Shift of the earth's tectonic plates which releases a large amount of energy.

A giant wave of water causes by large disturbances in the ocean, such as under water earthquake.

A flying rock from outerspace which causes huge craters on the earth's surface.

Chemical changes occur during Natural Disaster is burning from wildfires and volcanoes.

The physical changes that occur during natural disasters is breaking down of materials such as flood, asteroids etc.

Hurricane
