?
How hot is the inner core?
5,500 degrees
1 of 21
Who came up with continental drift?
Alfred Wegener
2 of 21
What was the evidence for continental drift?
continents were like a jixaw, there were identical fossels on opposite sides of earth
3 of 21
why didnt scientists accept continental drift
Wegener couldnt explain how it happened, they said there were "land bridges"
4 of 21
When was continental drift theory accepted? why?
in the 1950s because scientists found new evidence which supported the theory
5 of 21
How do the plates move?
convection
6 of 21
what is a convergent boundery?
one plate goes under the other
7 of 21
what is a divergent boundery?
plates move appart
8 of 21
whats a concervitive boundary?
plates rub against each other
9 of 21
Whats the order of the amount of gasses in out atmospher?
nitrogen-okygen-carbon dioxide-other
10 of 21
What are the problems with increasing carbon dioxide
global warming, climit change, greenhouse layer
11 of 21
what is fractional distilation?
seperating gasses based on unique boiling points
12 of 21
what is the equation for combustion?
methane+oxygen=carbon dioxide+water
13 of 21
what is the equation for incomplete combustion?
methane+not enough oxygen=carbon methane+water
14 of 21
how does carbon methane effect us?
stops oxygen entering haemoglobin
15 of 21
what are the products of combustion?
carbon dioxide and water
16 of 21
what causes acid rain?
during combustion oxygen reacts with sulfer or nitrogen
17 of 21
what is the affects of acid rain on the envirment?
burns leafs and plants, poisens fishies
18 of 21
How can we manage change in the envirment?
use less fossel fules, resycle, reduce energy used at home, use public transport
19 of 21
how do you measure rates of reaction?
the amount of product made within a certian time
20 of 21
What happens when liquid is heated?
particles gain energy, move and vibrate more, particles gain enough energy to pull away from the liquid
