A Substance
Combines with
Another to Form a
New Substance
(Chemical Reactions)

An Accumulation of
Electric Charge on an
Insulated Object

Electrons Flow from the Source to the Load and then Back to the
Source
The Battery is the Source that
Supplies Energy to the Circuit.
The Light Bulb is the Load Where
Energy Leaves the Circuit.

Constructive
Processes
Are Things that Happen to the Earth that Build it up or make Positive Changes
Depositions
(Deltas, Sand Dunes, etc.)
Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Faults

Destructive Processes
Are When Things Happen to the Earth that Destroy or
Break Down Parts of it
Erosion
(Water-Rivers, Oceans, Wind)
The Impact of Organisms,
Weathering, Earthquakes,
Volcanos

Intervention
Seismological Studies
Seismology is the Study of
Earthquakes and Seismic Waves that Move Through and Around the Earth. A Seismologist is a
Scientist who Studies
Earthquakes and Seismic Waves.

Human Intervention
Flood Control
(Dams, Levees, Storm
Drain Management)
Refers to all Methods used to
Reduce or Prevent the
Detrimental Effects of Flood
Waters

Throughout the Plant.

Plants
Non-vascular Plants are
Unable to Absorb
Moisture Through Their
Roots. Moisture is
Absorbed Through its top Surface Area
