Across
- 1. - An element that decays into other elements, also the property of some unstable atoms to spontaneously emit nuclear reaction
- 3. - the study of fish, a branch of zoology
- 5. - a form of symbiosis in which one organism benefits and the other remains unaffected (ex. Barnacles living on a humpback whale)
- 7. - Only conic section that has asymptotes. An example for an equation for this shape is y2 - x2 = 4
- 11. - “mass in motion,” the product of mass and velocity of an object (p = mv)
- 13. - A mathematical object that is used to transform vectors; usually written in the form of a grid of numbers
- 14. - A measure of the strength of a field passing through a given area (physics magnetism), also describes any effect that appears to pass/travel through a surface or substance
- 15. - the tendency/measure of a liquid to resist flow (ex. Honey has higher ___ than water)
Down
- 2. - a critically endangered paedomorphic salamander found in Central Mexico.
- 4. - refers to a type of rock formed under high heat, high pressure, or a combination of these factors
- 6. zero - the lowest possible temperature in which there is no motion or heat (approximately 0 Kelvin, -273.15 °C, or -460 °F)
- 8. - the process of liquid moving through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution
- 9. - the mechanically weak and ductile region of the upper mantle of Earth (lies below the lithosphere)
- 10. - the process by which a more dense plate of the earth’s crust moves sideways and downwards into the mantle underneath a less dense plate at a convergent plate boundary.
- 12. - a substance which speeds up a chemical reaction but does NOT change the outcomes of the reaction
