IS2T3 Flashcard #1

Front

What is the formula to calculate mass using density and volume?

Back

Mass = Density × Volume

Front

If the density of a substance is 4.0 g/mL and the volume is 25.4 mL, what is the mass?

Back

Mass = 4.0 g/mL × 25.4 mL = 101.6 g, rounded to 1.0 x 10^2 g for significant figures.

Front

What is the definition of density?

Back

Density is the mass of a substance per unit volume, typically expressed in g/mL or kg/m³.

Front

Where is most of the volume in the Earth located?

Back

Most of the volume in the Earth is located in the mantle.

Front

What type of rock is typically found on the ocean floor?

Back

Basalt rock is commonly found on the ocean floor.

Front

What is a divergent boundary?

Back

A divergent boundary is a tectonic plate boundary where two plates move away from each other.

Front

What is a convergent boundary?

Back

A convergent boundary is a tectonic plate boundary where two plates move towards each other.

Front

What is a transform boundary?

Back

A transform boundary is a tectonic plate boundary where two plates slide past each other.

Front

What is the outer core of the Earth?

Back

The outer core is a liquid layer composed of iron and nickel, located beneath the mantle.

Front

What is the inner core of the Earth?

Back

The inner core is a solid sphere composed mainly of iron and nickel, located at the center of the Earth.
