What is erosion?

Back

Erosion is the process by which Earth's surface material is moved from one location to another by wind, water, or ice.

What is an electromagnet?

Back

An electromagnet is a type of magnet that is created by electric current. It can be turned on and off.

What is the difference between amphibians and reptiles?

Back

Amphibians have moist skin and can live both in water and on land, while reptiles have dry scales and primarily live on land.

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity is the build-up of electric charges on the surface of objects, which can cause a small shock when they come into contact.

Front

What happens to water when heat is added?

Back

When heat is added to water, the particles gain energy and move faster, which can lead to changes in state, such as from liquid to gas.

Front

What is deposition?

Back

Deposition is the process by which sediments, soil, and rocks are added to a landform or land mass.

Front

What is weathering?

Back

Weathering is the breaking down of rocks and minerals into smaller pieces by natural processes such as wind, water, and temperature changes.

Front

What is a permanent magnet?

Back

A permanent magnet is a material that maintains a persistent magnetic field without the need for an external power source.

Front

What is the role of electricity in electromagnets?

Back

Electricity creates a magnetic field in an electromagnet, allowing it to attract or repel other magnetic materials.

Front

What is the significance of particle movement in heating water?

Back

The movement of particles in water increases with heat, leading to changes in temperature and state.
