Praxis 5005 (Science) Kathleen Jasper Purple Book Notes and Information Already Graded A Mantle Is not liquid, but ductile or plastic, which means that some parts can flow under certain conditions and changes in pressure. Composed mainly of aluminum and silicates Crust The outermost solid layer of earth. It is the lithosphere. Core The innermost layers of the Earth. Mainly composed of nickel and iron Inner Core Solid. Temperatures and pressures are extreme. Outer Core A layer of liquid iron...

What is the mechanical advantage of a lever? A small input force applied to one end of a lever produces a larger output force at the opposite end of the lever. Which two statements illustrate the impact of a natural science discovery on another discipline? The understanding of sound vibrations in a flexible membrane has led to improvements in musical drumming. The understanding of ecosystems and biological diversity has aided the passage of conservation legislation. Why must a...

Weathering Correct Answer the breakdown and disintegration of rocks in situ and does not involve transport of material. It does weaken the rock and make it more vulnerable to erosion processes by wind, water and ice Physical/ mechanical weathering Correct Answer the breakdown and disintegration of rock in situ without a change in chemical composition of the rock minerals Chemical weathering Correct Answer the breakdown and disintegration of rock in situ involving a change in chemical compo...

AQA GCSE Geography: Coasts Questions and Answers Graded A How do different waves form? Wind blowing over the sea. Friction with water surface causes ripples that develop into waves. The longer the fetch the more powerful the wave. What is the fetch? The distance the wind blows across the water What is the swash? The wave breaks onto the beach and moves up it What is the backwash? Water rolling back from the beach due to gravity What is a prevailing wind? A wind coming from the predominant di...

Geography (AQA GCSE) Latest Update Already Passed How are waves formed The wind blowing over the sea, friction with the surface of the water causes ripples to form and these develop into waves Constructive waves Low waves that surge up the beach, powerful swash weak backwash, deposit large amounts of material, crests far apart, gently sloping wave front Destructive waves Formed by local storms near the coast, powerful backwash, closely spaced, high and steep, weak swash, narrow the beach, stee...
