Front

Identify this type of plate movement: Transform Boundary

Back

A Transform Boundary is where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, causing earthquakes.

Front

__________ describes the large scale movement of the Earth’s lithosphere.

Back

Plate Tectonics is the theory that explains the movement of the Earth's lithosphere, which is divided into tectonic plates.

Front

In a food web of an ecosystem, approximately _______% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next.

Back

Approximately 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next in a food web.

Front

Fleas, ticks, and lice live on other animals and are all three examples of __________.

Back

Parasites are organisms that live on or in a host and benefit at the host's expense.

Front

Digestion begins here, where food is broken into smaller pieces before entering the esophagus.

Back

Digestion begins in the mouth, where food is mechanically broken down by chewing.

Front

What is a Divergent Boundary?

Back

A Divergent Boundary is where two tectonic plates move away from each other, often creating new crust as magma rises to the surface.

Front

What is a Convergent Boundary?

Back

A Convergent Boundary is where two tectonic plates collide, leading to one plate being forced below the other, often creating mountains or trenches.

Front

What is the role of producers in an ecosystem?

Back

Producers, like plants, convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, forming the base of the food web.

Front

What is a food chain?

Back

A food chain is a linear sequence that shows how energy and nutrients flow from one organism to another in an ecosystem.

Front

What is the function of the small intestine?

Back

The small intestine is responsible for the majority of nutrient absorption during digestion.
