Front

What is sea floor spreading?

Back

Sea floor spreading is the process where two oceanic plates move away from each other, allowing magma to rise and create new crust.

Front

What is the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere?

Back

June 21

Front

What type of plate boundary occurs when two plates slide past each other?

Back

Transform boundary

Front

What is net force?

Back

Net force is the overall force acting on an object, taking into account all the individual forces acting on it.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity.

Front

What happens at a divergent boundary?

Back

At a divergent boundary, two tectonic plates move away from each other, leading to the formation of new crust.

Front

What is a convergent boundary?

Back

A convergent boundary is where two tectonic plates move towards each other, often causing one plate to be forced below the other.

Front

What is the significance of June 21 in terms of seasons?

Back

June 21 is the summer solstice, marking the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere.

Front

What is the formula for calculating net force?

Back

Net force = Sum of all forces acting on an object.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration?

Back

According to Newton's second law, acceleration is directly proportional to net force and inversely proportional to mass.
