Tendons are tissues that attach muscles to bones.
A torn muscle occurs when muscle is torn apart or away from the bone.
Nuclear fission is the process by which atoms are split and energy is released.
Contact metamorphism occurs when magma inside the Earth intrudes existing rock. The rock that comes in contact with the magma is superheated and new types of rock are formed.
When magma cools, crystals called mineral grains are formed.
Mineral grains in shale become foliated as they flatten due to heat and pressure and form slate.
The four main minerals that make up granite are feldspar, quartz, mica, hornblende
Depicts liquid magma moving through rocks.
Regional metamorphism occurs at the boundaries of plates, where large areas of rock are deeply buried.
Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system.
The nebular theory states that the solar system was formed by the collapse and flattening of a nebulae due to gravity. This led to the creation of the sun, planets, and other components of our solar system.
The sun is the central point around which all planets in our solar system travel.
In the English system of measurement, there are 3 feet in one yard and 12 inches in a foot. Inches are divided into fractional components.
The meter is the basic unit of length in the metric system. There are 10 decimeters in 1 meter, 10 centimeters in 1 decimeter, and 10 millimeters in 1 centimeter.
The Metric system of measurement is based on multiples of ten and is easier to use than the English system.
When iron and oxygen combine in a chemical reaction they form iron oxide, also referred to as rust. The product in this reaction is iron oxide which is a new substance that did not exist before the chemical reaction took place.
In a decomposition reaction a complex substance breaks down to form two or more simpler substances. A decomposition reaction is the reverse of a synthesis reaction.
In a synthesis reaction two or more substances are combined to make a more complex single substance.
Arteries are blood vessels with thick, elastic, muscular walls that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body.
A common cause of high blood pressure is a disease called "atherosclerosis." Atherosclerosis is a condition characterized by narrowing of the arteries. This is due to an accumulation of fatty deposits called "plaque" on the inner walls of arteries.
