How does the Earth's Magnetic Field protect us?
The Magnetic Field shields the planet from harmful radiation erupted from the Sun in the form of a Solar Flare.
|
What is a Dominant Gene?
A gene that is Dominant over the recessive gene
|
What is Tectonic Activity?
Activity that occurs as a result of tectonic plate movement, for example, earthquakes, volcanoes and mountain building in general.
|
What is a Magnetic Field?
A region in space near a magnet, electric current or moving charged particles in which 2 magnetic Forces Action any other magnets.
|
What is the order of the planets from closet to farthest from the Sun?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
|
What is a Recessive Gene?
A submissive gene that allows the D allele to get expressed.
|
How are Ocean Trenches formed?
Ocean trenches can be formed by subduction between continental crust and oceanic crust. Continental crust is always lighter.
|
What is an Electric Field?
A region around a charged particle or object within which a force would be exerted on other charged particles or objects.
|
What is the definition of a light year?
A light year is the distance light travels in one Earth year.
|
What is the LAW OF SEGREGATION?
Each member of a pair of homologous chromosome separates independently of the member of another pair,so the results are random.
|
What are volcanic eruptions?
When magma comes out of the earth sometimes causing a large expelling of gases and lava.
|
|
Which type of equipment is used to collect light far into space?
An Optical Telescope
|
What is The Law of Independent Assortment?
Each member of a pair of homologous chromosomes separates independently of the members of the other pairs so the results are random.
|
How do the hydrosphere and lithosphere interact with one another?
The Hydrosphere erodes the Lithosphere and places water on it.
|
|
How many kilometers are in a light year?
9.5 trillion kilometers.
|
Who was Mendel and what was he mainly remembered for?
Mendel was known to be 'The father of Genetics' and the founder of modern genetics. He was best known for genetic research and advancement in this field of science.
|
In which of the Earths layers is Earth’s magnetic field generated?
The Inner Core of the Earth generates the Earth's magnetic field.
