Term
|
Definition
WHEN SOMETHING SUCKS IN ANOTHER THING AND HOLDS ON TO IT AND WON'T LET IT OUT
(like when a black object sucks in all the sunlight and won't reflect any light back) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
a substance that can carry either heat or light or electricity through it
an example would be metals that carry heat or electricity or fiber optic threads that carry light |

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the process of when an object passes through another object and its pathway is bent or altered as it passes through--FOR EXAMPLE; WHEN LIGHT GOES THROUGH A PIECE OF CLEAR GLASS IT IS BENT -- THAT IS WHY IF YOU PUT YOUR HAND INTO AN AQUARIUM TO PICK UP AND OBJECT YOU MIGHT MISS IT THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE IT LOOKS (due to the "refracted light waves" seen through the glasslike it is in one spot when it really is a little bit over from where you "see" it |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| energy caused by the compressing and releasing of air molecules |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| same thing as heat energy which is energy due to the movement of atoms or molecules -- THE FASTER THEY MOVE -- THE MORE HEAT ENERHY--THE HIGHER THE TEMPERATURE OF A SUBSTANCE --the slower they move the less heat energy --the lower the temperature of that substance |

|
|
Term

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| final stage of some stars where they collapse upon theirselves forming an extremely dense mass with a huge gravitational pull so strong that not even light can escape from it |
|
|
Term
| COMPARATIVE SIZES AND DISTANCES |
|
Definition
| looking at how two different objects like a model of something and the real thing relate to each other if the are to a scale that makes sense |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A MASS OF ROCK THAT ORBITS THE SUN ALONG WITH THE PLANETS AND WHEN ON OF THE COMETS ORBITS BRINGS IT CLOSE TO OUR EARTH WE MAY SEE IT GLOW AS PARTICLES OF IT HITS OUR ATMOSPHERE AND BURNS |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a long period of time where there is little or no rain leave all vegetation dry and less ground and surface water |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| in earth science it is a triangular shaped land formation made when river sediments are deposited constantly in the place where the river flows into a larger body of water, usually an ocean or like the Gulf of Mexico because here the river speed slows down quickly and dirt and gravel sediments it usually carries become too heavy for the slower moving water to carry it farther |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
how often something happens OR
in physics it is how many waves of a certain wavelength pass a certain point over a period of time FOR EXAMPLE; 10 WAVES PER SECOND |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| WHEN FROM EARTH THE SUNLIGHT REFLECTED OFF THE MOON LIGHTS UP THE WHOLE SIDE OF THE MOON THAT WE SEE ON EARTH |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
a mass of snow and ice that turns into a
huge covering over the earth usually starting in a valley and carving out a deeper and deeper valley as it grows and flows to the ocean or another land formation that stops it |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a source of energy like petroleum, gas (not gasoline for cars), or coal that we will run out of because there is only so much of it that has already been made over time and it takes alot longer than many human lifetimes for it to make more of it again |
