Front

What is a delta?

Back

A delta is a landform created by the deposition of sediment at the mouth of a river, where the river meets a body of water.

Front

What causes a circuit to work?

Back

A circuit works when the switch is closed, allowing electricity to flow through the components.

Front

What happens to light waves when they pass through water?

Back

Light waves are bent (refracted) as they pass through water, causing them to change direction.

Front

What is a poor conductor of electricity?

Back

A poor conductor of electricity is a material that does not allow electric current to flow easily, such as a white T-shirt.

Front

What processes compact and cement sediment into rock?

Back

The processes of compacting and cementing sediment over time lead to the formation of sedimentary rock.

Front

What is the definition of a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electric current to flow through it easily, such as metals like copper and aluminum.

Front

What is the role of sediment in forming a delta?

Back

Sediment is deposited by the river at its mouth, building up over time to create a delta.

Front

What is refraction of light?

Back

Refraction is the bending of light waves as they pass from one medium to another, such as from air to water.

Front

What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator?

Back

A conductor allows electricity to flow easily, while an insulator resists the flow of electricity.

Front

What is sedimentary rock?

Back

Sedimentary rock is formed from the compaction and cementation of sediment over time.
