Semester Final Review 24-25

Front

What is a divergent boundary?

Back

A divergent boundary is a tectonic plate boundary where two plates are moving away from each other, often resulting in the formation of new crust as magma rises to the surface.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Sunlight → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Front

How many carbon atoms are produced in photosynthesis?

Back

6 carbon atoms are produced on the product side of the equation.

Front

What is an element?

Back

An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. Examples include hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O).

Front

What is a compound?

Back

A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements are chemically bonded together. An example is water (H₂O).

Front

What happens at a convergent boundary?

Back

At a convergent boundary, two tectonic plates collide, which can lead to the formation of mountains, earthquakes, or volcanic activity.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. It is measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

How do you determine the order of force applied based on acceleration?

Back

The order of force applied can be determined using Newton's second law, F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

The relationship is defined by Newton's second law: Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is a transform boundary?

Back

A transform boundary is a tectonic plate boundary where two plates slide past one another, causing earthquakes.
