A measurable characteristic that can't vary

Explain the difference between independent, dependent, and controlled variables.

I= what you change, D=depends on the Independent, C= what you keep the same

Why is it important to present data effectively? Choose one method of data presentation (e.g., bar chart, pie chart, line graph) and explain when it is most appropriate to use that method.

Presenting data effectively tells a message faster than essay-style information. It can also be very persuasive. Bar charts = multiple categories being compared. Line graph = over time. Pie Chart = many parts of a whole being displayed.

Explain the significance of sample size in data analysis. How can a small sample size affect the reliability of the findings?

A large sample size is needed to make sure that the data is representative of the whole population or group rather than just a few individuals.

What are all layers of the earth, and what are they made of?

Crust (solid rock); Mantle (semi-solid rock); Outer core (liquid iron and nickel); Inner core (solid iron and nickel). Mesosphere, lithosphere, asthenosphere

What is the lithosphere, and how does it relate to the tectonic plates?

The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth, which includes the crust and upper mantle. It is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath.

Analyze the process of sea floor spreading at diverging boundaries. How does this process contribute to the formation of new ocean floor?

As tectonic plates move apart, magma rises to fill the gap, creating new oceanic crust. This process continuously adds material to the ocean floor.

Compare and contrast oceanic and continental plates. How do their differences affect geological formations?

Wegener proposed that continents were once connected and have drifted apart. Evidence includes the fit of continents, fossil similarities, and geological formations across continents.

Explain the significance of Alfred Wegener's theory of Continental Drift. What evidence did he present to support his claims?

Pangea formed about 335 million years ago and began to break apart about 175 million years ago. Evidence includes matching coastlines, fossil records, and geological similarities.

Describe the timeline of Pangea's formation and the beginning of its separation. What evidence supports this timeline?

Pangea formed about 335 million years ago and began to break apart about 175 million years ago. Evidence includes matching coastlines, fossil records, and geological similarities.

Discuss how convection currents in the Earth's asthenosphere contribute to the movement of tectonic plates.

Convection currents in the semi-fluid asthenosphere create movement that drags the tectonic plates along, causing them to shift and interact.

List and describe the different types of tectonic boundaries and what they cause.

Divergent boundaries (move apart, causing sea-floor spreading); Convergent boundaries (move together, causing mountains or subduction); Transform boundaries (slide past each other, causing earthquakes).

What is binomial nomenclature?

A system of naming organisms using two names: the genus name and the species name.

What are all the levels of classification in taxonomy in order from largest to smallest? Options: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.

Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.

What are the three domains of life and which one is the ONLY one we will study in class?

Eukaryota, Bacteria, and Archaea. We will only study Eukaryota

Why is taxonomy important?

Taxonomy helps organize and classify living organisms, making it easier to study and understand biodiversity and relationships among species.
