Density Flashcard

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume, typically expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

Front

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

Which layer of the Earth is denser: oceanic crust or continental crust?

Back

The oceanic crust is denser than the continental crust.

Front

What happens to density as you go deeper into the Earth?

Back

Density increases as you go deeper into the Earth.

Front

What is the formula for density?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

Which Earth layer has the lowest density?

Back

The crust has the lowest density.

Front

What happens to temperature as you go deeper into the Earth?

Back

Temperature increases as you go deeper into the Earth.

Front

What happens to pressure as you go deeper into the Earth?

Back

Pressure increases as you go deeper into the Earth.

Front

What is the density of a cube with a mass of 4 grams and a volume of 2 cm³?

Back

Density = 4 g / 2 cm³ = 2 g/cm³.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and volume in determining density?

Back

Density is directly proportional to mass and inversely proportional to volume.
