SCIENCE 10 REVIEWER

Earth Science-is the branch of science that deals with the physical constitution of the earth and its
atmosphere.

Biology- It is the study of living organisms, divided into many specialized fields that cover their
morphology, physiology, anatomy, behavior, origin, and distribution.

Chemistry- a branch of science that deals with the composition, structure, and properties of substances
and with the transformations that they undergo.

Physics- This is the natural science that studies matter, its motion and behavior through space and time,
and the related entities of energy and force.

Brain - An organ located within the skull that functions as an organizer and distributor of information for
the body.

Cell- is the basic unit of life.

Alveoli- the center of the respiratory gas exchange.

Alfred Wegener- He proposed the Continental Drift Theory.

Two types of Energy - Potential and kinetic energy

Types of Potential Energy- radiant, thermal, sound, electrical and mechanical

Force- It is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object.

Decomposition- the process by which dead organic substances are broken down into simpler organic or
inorganic matter such as carbon dioxide, water, simple sugars and mineral salts.

Atom- the basic unit of matter.

The correct sequence of the parts of the earth in outer to inner:

Crust --- Upper Mantle --- Lower mantle----- Outer core---- Inner core

Metallic Bonds- These are the bond that connect the two metal elements.

Covalent Bond- These are the bond that connect the two non- metal elements.

Ionic Bonds- a chemical bond that responsible in connecting a metal and non- metal element.

Mass and Velocity- The components of momentum

Mitosis is understood to involve five phases: prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and
telophase.

Tsunami - is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water,
generally in an ocean or a large lake.

Volcano - is a rupture in the crust of a planetary-mass object, such as Earth, that allows hot lava, volcanic
ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface.

The main parts of a volcano include the magma chamber, conduits, vents, craters and slopes

Earthquakes- refer to the shaking of the Earth as a result of the breaking or shifting of the rocks of the
tectonic plates, which release seismic energy.

Faults- are cracks on the Earth`s crust, of which there are three types--- normal fault, reverse fault, and
strike fault. The surface where the blocks slip past each other is called the fault plane.

Pacific Ring of Fire- is susceptible to and very much frequented by volcanism- related geologic activities
such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, faulting, and tsunamis, among others.
