Steel is a metal that is made from iron and carbon. During the steel making process, iron & carbon are melted together, and the allowed to harden into a solid. The iron and the carbon DO NOT chemically react with each other. After the steel was made, 20 samples were taken from one piece and tested. Each sample contained 98% iron and 2% carbon.Which of the following terms BEST describes steel?

Which best explains how geologic time scales can help scientists study the evolution of life on Earth?

10

The theory of global warming is based on an increase of what atmospheric gas?

10

Process of determining the age of certain archeological artifacts of a biological origin (such as bone, cloth, wood and plant fibers) up to about 50,000 years old.

10

Collision between two of Earth's tectonic plates, where one plate sinks underneath the other plate

10

Body part in different species that is similar in function but not in structure.

10

Phase of matter in which atoms can collide and move past (flow) one another freely.
