Science Review

A cinder cone volcano is characterized by its steep, conical shape and explosive eruptions caused by gas-rich magma.

An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to pass through it. Option B is misspelled (Insolutator), insoluble means not able to dissolve, and insulation is the material/process. Insulator is the correct term.

A gas is a state of matter that has no fixed shape or volume, expanding to fill the container it is in.

An inherited trait is a characteristic passed down from parents to offspring through genes, such as hair line, eye color, or height.

A complete electrical circuit requires a power source, a pathway (conductors), and a load (device) to function.

In a chemical reaction, the substances that start the process are called reactants, while the substances produced are called products.

Geological formations like buttes change very slowly over millions of years due to erosion and weathering.

Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil, and rocks are added to a landform or landmass.

Bird migration is an inherited behavior, meaning it is instinctual and passed down through genetics, not learned from parents.

Gregor Mendel is known as the Father of Genetics for his pioneering experiments with pea plants. His work established the fundamental laws of inheritance.

Talons are specialized structures found on owls that allow them to grasp and hold onto prey. Lungs and hearts are internal organs common to most vertebrates, and eating mice is a behavior, not a structure.

Glaciers are large masses of ice that move slowly over land, carving out U-shaped valleys through the process of glacial erosion.

Frost wedging is a physical process where water freezes in cracks, expands, and breaks the rock apart. This is a primary mechanism of mechanical weathering.
