Texas Teacher Exam – Science Exam Prep Questions And Answers(202472025)
minerals - ✔✔A solid inorganic substance of natural occurrence.
tectonic plates - ✔✔Sections of the Earth's crust that move due to convection currents.
tectonic plates - ✔✔pieces of the lithosphere that move around on top of the asthenosphere
oceanic crust - ✔✔earths crust located under the ocean. The thinnest type of crust. Mostly basalt
continental crust - ✔✔thicker, less dense crust making the continents
magnesium - ✔✔What does the oceanic crust have in it that makes it more dense than the
continental crust?
Nuclear fission - ✔✔The splitting of an atom's nucleus into two smaller nuclei and neutrons
convection currents - ✔✔Circular currents in the mantle caused by the magma being heated by the
core of the Earth.
convection currents - ✔✔the upward movement of warm air and the downward movement of cool
air
convergent boundary - ✔✔A tectonic plate boundary where two plates collide, come together, or
crash into each other.
mountains - ✔✔What is the result of convergent boundaries?
divergent boundary - ✔✔the boundary between two tectonic plates that are moving away from
each other
,transform boundary - ✔✔also known as transform faults, boundaries at which plates are moving
past each other, sideways.
mid-ocean ridge - ✔✔an undersea mountain chain where new ocean floor is produced; a divergent
plate boundary
subduction - ✔✔the process that occurs when one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic
plate
fault - ✔✔a break in a body of rock along which one block slides relative to another
trench - ✔✔extremely deep areas in the ocean that are created by a subducting plate
ocean trench - ✔✔Deep valley in the ocean floor that forms along a subduction zone
constructive boundary - ✔✔where two tectonic plates move away from each other, and crust is
formed
destructive boundary - ✔✔where an oceanic plate slides underneath a continental plate or another
oceanic plate
earthquakes - ✔✔form at convergent and transform boundaries
friction - ✔✔the force that opposes the motion of one surface as it moves across another surface
water cycle - ✔✔evaporation, condensation, precipitation
mechanical weathering - ✔✔the actual breaking up or physical weakening of rock by forces such
as ice and roots
, chemical weathering - ✔✔The process that breaks down rock through chemical changes
erosion - ✔✔the process of being broken down by wind, water, or other natural agents.
thermosphere - ✔✔The uppermost layer of the atmosphere, in which temperature increases as
altitude increases
mesosphere - ✔✔just under the thermosphere where the air is cold. This layer causes friction that
prevents meteroids from entering the stratosphere.
stratosphere - ✔✔2nd lowest layer of the atmosphere. ( Ozone is located there.) Contains jet
streams.
ozone - ✔✔a colorless gas that is a screen for ultraviolet radiation
troposphere - ✔✔the layer closest to Earth, where almost all weather occurs; the thinnest layer
carbon cycle - ✔✔Circulation and reutilization of carbon includes photosynthesis and respiration.
nitrogen cycle - ✔✔the recycling of nitrogen from decaying organism for use in future generations
global warming - ✔✔An increase in the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere caused by
a breakdown of the ozone layer due to the use of fossil fuels. As the ozone layer breaks down, the
temperature of earth increases, melting the ice and evaporating the water.
basalt - ✔✔A dark, dense, igneous rock with a fine texture, found in oceanic crust
basalt - ✔✔rock of the mid-ocean ridge that contains no crystals because of its quick cooling
igneous rock - ✔✔Most of the earth's crust is make of what kind of rock?
