4th SOL Review '23
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Photosynthesis | Plants produce their own food through this process |
| Chlorophyll | Green pigment in the leaves is called |
| Leaf | This is the primary food-producing part of plants. |
| Carbon Dioxide | what plants take in during photosynthesis |
| Oxygen | what plants release during photosynthesis |
| roots | This is the part that anchors the plants and takes in water and nutrients from the soil. |
| stem | This provides support and allows movement of water and nutrients through the plant. |
| flower | The reproductive structures of plants that have a scent and color attract pollinators |
| seeds | What do most plants reproduce with? |
| spores | Ferns and mosses reproduce with these. |
| pollination | the process by which pollen is transferred from the stamen to the pistil |
| Stamen | male reproductive part of the plant |
| Pistil | female reproductive part of the plant; Pretty |
| wind, water, or animals | These things cause pollination to occur. |
| population | all the organisms of the same species that live in the same place at the same time Examples: all the foxes, all the deer, or all the birds |
| community | populations of species that live in the same place at the same time Example: all the forest animals in a certain area |
| ecosystem | Includes all living and nonliving parts of the environment as well as the interactions among them |
| habitat | provides an animal with food, water, shelter, and space |
| producers | organisms that make their own food-(Plants going through photosynthesis) |
| consumers | Organisms that cannot make their own food. They have to eat other organisms. |
| decomposers | Organisms that feed on dead/decaying organisms |
| arrows | These symbols show the flow of energy in a food chain |
| niche | the role or job that an organism performs in the food web of that community is a |
| temperature | the measure of the amount of heat energy in the atmosphere |
| air pressure | the weight of the air, which is determined by several factors including the temperature. |
| wind speed | how fast the wind is blowing |
| precipitation | The amount of water, which falls from the sky |
| wind direction | The direction in which the wind blows |
| humidity | The amount of moisture in the air |
| thermometer | measures temperature |
| anemometer | measures wind speed |
| weather vane | measures wind direction |
| hygrometer | measures the amount of humidity in the air |
| barometer | meaures aire pressure |
| rain guage | meaures the amount of precipitaion |
| high pressure | These air masses associated with clear skies and light winds |
| low pressure | These air masses are associated with stormy weather and strong winds |
| Cumulus Clouds | are fluffy and white with flat bottoms. They usually indicate fair weather. However, when the clouds get larger and darker on the bottom, they become cumulonimbus clouds |
| Cumulonimbus Clouds | These clouds may produce thunderstorms. Tall with flat bottoms |
| Status Clouds | smooth, gray clouds that cover the whole sky (and block out direct sunlight). Light rain and drizzle are usually associated with these clouds |
| Cirrus Clouds | feathery clouds associated with fair weather. They often indicate that rain or snow will fall within several hours. |
| thunderstorm | Warm, humid conditions are very favorable for these storms. A typical one produces a brief period of heavy rain and lasts anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Lightning always precedes thunder. |
| hurricanes | occur over warm, tropical water and have winds equal to or greater than 74 miles per hour |
| tornadoes | form from thunderstorms as the wind changes direction and the air begins to rotate |
| weather | the day-to-day state of the atmosphere for a given area |
| climate | the weather of a given area averaged over an extended period of time (years) |
| Aristotle and Ptolemy | believed the Earth was the center of the universe. (They were annoying and problematic. |
| Copernicus and Galileo | believed that the Sun was the center of the universe. (They were correct and good. |
| rotation | This means to spin on its own axis. The Earth does this once every 24 hours. This causes day and night. |
| revolution | This means to travel around another object. The Earth completes one of these trips around the sun every 365 ¼ years. |
| seasons | Because the Earth is tilted on its axis and it revolves around the sun, we have these |
| Full Moon | During this type of moon, we see the side of the Moon that is being illuminated by the Sun, giving the Moon its bright, glowing appearance. |
| First Quarter | This moon phase, or Half Moon, is the third phase in the cycle of phases. |
| New Moon | The opposite of a full Moon; we see the side of the Moon that is not being illuminated by the Sun, which makes the Moon blend in with the dark night sky. |
| Third/Last Quarter | when the opposite half of the Moon is illuminated compared to the 1st Quarter. |
| waxing | the moon at any time after new moon and before full moon, so called because its illuminated area is increasing |
| waning | the moon's illuminated area is decreasing. |
| highest tidal ranges | These are associated with full and new moons, which are when the Earth, moon and sun are in a straight line. |
| lowest tidal ranges | These are associated with the first and last quarter, when the earth, sun, and moon are at right angles. |
| My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nachos. | What do we say to remember the order of the planets from the sun? |
| Just Sing Until Noon, Every Voice Makes Music. | What do we say to remember the order of the planets from biggest to smalllest? |
| continental shelf | gradually sloping portion of the ocean floor that is made of continental crust where we swim etc. |
| continental slope | steep slope that continues from the continental shelf and leads to the abyssal plain |
| abyssal plain | vast floor of the ocean deep |
| oceanic trench | a deep valley in the ocean floor; the deepest part of the ocean |
| crest | highest point on a wave |
| trough | lowest point of a wave |
| tides | a periodic rise and fall of the sea level under the gravitational pull of the moon |
| currents | the steady flow of water in a regular pattern in the ocean. Causes of these are temperature changes, differences in salinity, and wind directions. |
| Gulf Stream | The warm water Atlantic Ocean current that flows from south to north along the eastern coast of North America is called this. It is the largest surface current in North America. |
| salinity | the measure of all salts dissolved in water |
| plankton | -tiny floating organisms that are producers in the ocean; They are responsible for most of the Earth’s oxygen. |
| nonrenewable resources | natural resources that cannot be replaced after they are used because they take millions of years to form |
| fossil fuels | Petroleum, coal, and natural gas are types of these. |
| renewable resources | resources that are replaced naturally and can be used again; Wind energy, water behind dams, and sunlight are examples of renewable energy sources. |
