Document Summary
Define disaster: substantial event causing, physical damage, injury/loss of life, a drastic change to the environment. List the 1st, 2nd and 3rd most common elements in the earth, ocean and atmosphere: earth core: Some others are: k = kilo = thousand = 1x103, m = mega = million = 1x106, g = gig = billion = 1x109. Density is how much matter is in a space. A: less dense materials float on top of denser materials, this creates layers of stratification. A: there are many layers that compose the earth, they are as follows, starting on the. Outside (less dense) and working inisde (most dense. ) Define fluid, viscosity, and compressibility and how they relate to the phases of matter. Also, measure of resistance to flow, and viscosity depends of temperature and chemical structure e. g. high viscosity: thick & slow flow / low viscosity: runny & quick flow.
