Lava Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Name the three major kinds of rocks - Sedimentary- deposition of material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water Metamorphic- transformation of existing rock through heat or pressure Igneous- cooling and solidification of magma and lava Has the African plate been stationary or mobile and have other plates moved towards or away from it? - Relatively stationary while other plates have moved away from it causing no collisions ad therefore no mountain chains formed. How was the A...

Male Australian bowerbirds build and decorate elaborate structures, called bowers, out of grasses and other vegetation. If we want to understand how this behavior promotes a male bowerbird's ability to survive and reproduce, we want to understand its: correct answer: Adaptive function The figure below shows a ring species complex for seven populations of salamander. The seven populations are arranged around a low valley that the salamanders cannot cross. E. e. crocreator has a very specific...

Solar System - Science Olympiad Questions and Answers Rated A+ How did the terrestrial planets form? In the proto-Solar-Sytem, after the sun formed, the rest of the materials orbiting close around it began to clump together too. However, closer to the sun, lighter materials like gases blew away and only rocky material was left, causing the four terrestrial planets, and some of their moons, to form. What are the characteristics of Terrestrial Planets? Solid bodies with a core surrounded...
