ENERGY DEFINITIONS (pg1)
energy the ability to do work, energy is how things change and move
mechanical is what makes things move, objects in motion have
energy kinetic energy (KE).
nuclear stars (our Sun) uses nuclear energy to make heat and light
energy by using fission (splitting atoms) to release energy stored
in Hydrogen atoms.
heat the motion of atoms causes temperature, the faster the
energy motion the warmer things get. Changes in states of matter are from adding or removing heat energy.
chemical is released in fire and when we digest our food. It
energy is what bonds atoms together.
electro- is found in light bulbs, power lines, electricity, and lighting.
magnetic
energy
kinetic written as KE, is the energy of motion. Objects with more
energy mass and/or more velocity have more KE.
Potential written as PE, is stored energy of position. Gravity gives
Energy PE. The more off the ground something is the greater the
PE. PE can change into KE.
Transducer Items that transform energy between forms are called
Transducers.
Lake Sturgeon (pg5)
Our fish is a Lake Sturgeon. Acipenser Fulvescens
Life Span Males about 75-100 years, females 100-125 years
Length Sturgeon can reach 6-7 feet long
Weight Average weight is about 100 pounds can go up to 200
Diet Bottom feeder, crustaceans, etc Benthivore
Eggs Females can lay between 100,000-800,000 eggs during a single spawning season
Weathering Terms
•erosion the process where the surface of the earth is worn away by the action of water,
glaciers, winds, waves, etc.
•weathering just like erosion except that weathering occurs in one place without movement
•abrasion a scraped spot caused by friction
•chemical weathering any weathering where the rock changes its chemical make-up
•mechanical weathering any weathering that causes the rock to physically disintegrate
•physical weathering same thing as mechanical weathering
•glacier a large mass of ice formed from snow over the years and moving very slowly
•runoff something that drains or flows from the land into streams/rivers
•sediment the material that settles to the bottom of a liquid
•topsoil the fertile, upper part of the soil
•soil the portion of the earth’s surface made up of disintegrated rock and humus
•sand fine debris of rocks, made up of small, loose grains, often of quartz
