What is an ecosystem?
An ecosystem is a community of living and non-living things that interact with each other.
What is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into oxygen and glucose.
What are the three main types of rocks?
The three main types of rocks are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
What is weathering?
Weathering is the breakdown of rocks, soils, and minerals through contact with the Earth's atmosphere, water, and biological organisms.
What is the carbon cycle?
The carbon cycle is the process by which carbon is exchanged between the Earth's atmosphere, land, and oceans.
What is a food chain?
A food chain is a series of organisms that depend on the next organism as a source of food.
What are the layers of the Earth?
The layers of the Earth are the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core.
What is a producer?
A producer is an organism that produces its own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.
What is a fossil?
A fossil is the remains or traces of an ancient organism that has been preserved in rock.
What is erosion?
Erosion is the movement of rock, soil, or sediment from one location to another by natural processes such as wind and water.
What is natural selection?
Natural selection is the process by which organisms with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce.
What is the water cycle?
The water cycle is the continuous movement of water between the Earth's surface, atmosphere, and underground.
What is the difference between a hurricane and a tornado?
A hurricane is a large tropical storm that forms over the ocean, while a tornado is a violent windstorm that forms over land.
What are plate tectonics?
Plate tectonics is the theory that the Earth's crust is made up of large plates that move and interact with one another at their boundaries.
What is an adaptation?
An adaptation is a structural or behavioral trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment.
