Let's put it all together!

Front

What type of plate boundary forms folded mountains?

Back

Convergent boundary

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).

Front

What type of heat transfer occurs in fluids due to the movement of the fluid itself?

Back

Convection

Front

What is runoff and how can it lead to pollution?

Back

Runoff is water that flows over land and can carry pollutants into bodies of water, especially from urban areas.

Front

What happens at a transform plate boundary?

Back

At a transform boundary, two tectonic plates slide past each other, which can cause earthquakes.

Front

What is the definition of a watershed?

Back

A watershed is an area of land where all the water that falls drains into a common outlet.

Front

How do you determine the speed of an object?

Back

Speed is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

Front

What is the role of gravity in runoff?

Back

Gravity pulls water downhill, which contributes to the movement of runoff towards rivers and oceans.

Front

What is the significance of the direction of movement in velocity?

Back

The direction of movement is crucial in velocity as it indicates the object's path, differentiating it from speed.
