Earth Materiels

?
Lithosphere
Includes the crust and part the mantle(upper)
1 of 29
The core
Made from irons and lies at the centre
2 of 29
The crust
The thin rocky layer at the surface
3 of 29
The mantle
Between the crust and the core
4 of 29
Oceanic plates
They are under the sea. They are more dense than continental plates.
5 of 29
Continental plates
Carry the continents
6 of 29
S Waves
Transverse, slow moving, only travels through solids.
7 of 29
P Waves
Longitudinal,fast moving, travels through solids and liquids.
8 of 29
Where are S waves and P waves produced?
Earthquakes
9 of 29
Limestone
Calcium Carbonate

Pros of STEEL compared to aluminium
Stronger and Cheaper
11 of 29
Pros of ALUMINIUM compared to steel
lightweight and doesn't rust or corrode
12 of 29
Steel is made out of...
98% iron
13 of 29
OILRIG
Oxidation is loss of electrons and Reduction is gain of electrons.
14 of 29
Rusting is caused by..
oxygen,water,salt and acid.
15 of 29
Rusting
It only happens to iron.
16 of 29
Alloy
A metel mixed with an element.
17 of 29
why are ALLOYS made?
To change the metals properties and make it more useful.
18 of 29
Cathode
Negatively charged electrode
19 of 29
Anode
Positively charged electrode
20 of 29
Methods of extracting SALT are...
Extraction from the sea, Salt mining and solution mining.
21 of 29
Positive ions called CATIONS are attracted to...
Cathodes
22 of 29
Negative ions called ANIONS are attracted to...
Anodes
23 of 29
A fuel cell
A special type of electrical cells. They do not need replacing or recharging.
24 of 29
Process of fuel cells equation
Hydrogen + Oxygen = Water
25 of 29
Fuel cell advantages
Lightweight, non-pollutant, energy is converted directly from chemical to electrical, long lifespan and efficient.
26 of 29
Fuel cell disadvantages
Raw materiel's are needed(oxygen and hydrogen) and poisonous catalysts have to be disposed at the end.
27 of 29
What is in paint?
A pigment(gives it colour), a binding medium(this sticks the pigment to the surface) and a solvent( thins out the paint)
28 of 29
Why is paint a colloid?
Because the pigment is dispersed in the binding medium.
