The relationship between the volume and pressure of a given amount of gas at constant temperature was first published by the English natural philosopher Robert Boyle over 300 years ago. It is summarized in the statement now known as Boyle's law: The volume of a given amount of gas held at constant temperature is inversely proportional to the pressure under which it is measured. Considering the following graphs, which of the given best represents the relationship between pressure (y-axis) and the volume (x-axis) at constant temperature?

A chemical reaction occurs when some substances change chemically to other substances. Chemical reactions are represented by chemical equations. Consider a simple chemical reaction, the burning of methane. In this reaction, methane (CH4) combines with oxygen (O2) in the air and produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O). The reaction is represented by the following chemical equation: CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O
This equation shows that one molecule of methane combines with two molecules of oxygen to produce one molecule of carbon dioxide and two molecules of water vapor. Therefore, we can say that:

One way in which humans have affected the climate is by increasing emissions of greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases absorb infrared (long-wave, heat) radiation. This is the form of the sun's energy reflected off the earth's surface. Greenhouse gases then radiate heat energy back toward the earth. This heats the earth's atmosphere and ultimately contributes to increasingly warmer climates.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a byproduct of the combustion--or burning--of fossil fuels such as coal and oil that contribute to climate change.
In order to help with the problem, Allbirds, an environmentally friendly footwear company, has launched a running shoe called 'Tree Dasher'. It is made from natural and plant-based materials like sugarcane and eucalyptus, including the company's signature fiber, merino wool. Based on 'COâ‚‚e' (carbon dioxide equivalent emissions) - a term that describes the amount of carbon dioxide that would have the equivalent impact on global warming - the Tree Dasher's emission is around 30 percent less than that of a standard sports shoe, estimated at 12.5kg.

Study Notes
Science Test - Study Notes
- Question 1: The collision of the South American and Nazca plates created the Andes Mountains. The illustration depicts the movement of these plates.
Subduction Zone
- A subduction zone is a collision zone where two tectonic plates meet.
- One plate slides beneath the other, descending into the mantle.
- Subduction zones are associated with large earthquakes like the 9.5 magnitude quake in Chile (1960).
- These zones are linked to volcanic arcs, exemplified by the Aleutian Islands.
Earthquakes (Item 2)
- Earthquakes are most likely to occur in areas where plates collide (subduction zones).
- Area 3 (map) is most likely to have the fewest occurrences of earthquakes.
Great Chilean Earthquake
- The Great Chilean Earthquake (20th century) was the strongest earthquake recorded.
- This earthquake triggered tsunamis up to 11.5 meters high, impacting Chile and Japan.
- The earthquake was caused by the Nazca Plate subducting beneath the South American Plate.
Induced Seismicity (Item 3, Item 4, Item 5)
- Human activities can induce earthquakes.
- Mining, fracking, and water reservoir impoundment are major contributors.
- Extraction of conventional oil and gas has the least number of induced earthquake cases.
- Fracking activities are a major contributor to induced seismicity (but not necessarily causing the most intense quakes).
- A graph shows causes and magnitudes of induced earthquakes.
Seismic Stations (Item 6)
- Seismic stations record the arrival of P-waves and S-waves.
- The station nearest the epicenter will record the arrival times of these waves first.
- The diagram shows the arrival times, and the station closest is BOLP.
Þingvellir, Iceland (Item 7)
- Þingvellir is a rift valley located in Iceland.
- It sits on the boundary separating the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.
- The plates are drifting apart, creating the rift valley.
Mountain Formation (Item 8)
- Mountains can form when continental crusts collide (such as continental collisions).
- Mountains can also form when oceanic plates collide and one subducts beneath the other.
Mantle Convection (Item 9)
- Temperature differences in the mantle cause hot materials to expand, becoming less dense. Hot materials rise and cold materials sink, driving plate movement.
Magnetic Reversal Map
- The map shows shifts in Earth's magnetic field strength over time.
- The magnetic polarity is recorded in the ocean floor.
- This pattern is symmetrical to the mid-oceanic ridge.
Eyeglasses (Item 13)
- Convex lenses reduce focal length (used for nearsightedness).
- Concave lenses increase focal length (used for farsightedness).
Spear Throw (Item 14)
- To hit a fish directly with a spear, aim directly at the observed fish.
Induction Cooker (Item 16)
- Induction cookers use magnetic fields to heat pans.
- Iron or steel pans (like copper or iron) are suitable induction cookware.
Metal Detector (Item 17)
- Metal detectors use pulse induction technology.
- They detect magnetic fields created by metal objects and trigger an alarm.
- They can detect metal objects like jewelry, but not all materials.
Waves (Item 18)
- Electromagnetic waves travel in all mediums.
- Mechanical waves need a medium to travel.
- Light (electromagnetic) is faster than sound (mechanical).
X-Rays (Item 19)
- X-rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves.
- High doses of X-rays can cause damage (like cancer) and harm healthy cells.
Electromagnetic Spectrum (Item 20)
- Electromagnetic waves are arranged by frequency and wavelength.
- Radio waves have the longest wavelengths and lowest frequencies, while gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies.
Scientific Ideas (21-22)
- Wavelength and frequency of electromagnetic waves have an inverse relationship.
- Electromagnetic waves are ranked by increasing frequency.
Pregnancy and X-Rays (Item 23)
- High-frequency X-rays should be avoided during pregnancy.
Concave Mirrors (Item 24)
- Concave mirrors can form real images if the object distance is greater than the focal length.
Electric Motor (Item 25)
- An electric motor has coil and magnet parts that move due to induced current.
- Movement of the coil and wire are indications of induced current.
DNA Profiling (Item 26)
- DNA profiling is used in forensic investigations to identify individuals.
- Techniques compare DNA patterns (profiles) to determine relatedness.
Fossil Evidence (Item 28)
- The presence of stone tools with elephant bones and fire residue suggests early human activity.
Species Decline (Item 29)
- Habitat loss and exploitation are major concerns for species decline.
Stratigraphy/Sediments (Item 35)
- Strata older than a certain point will likely contain a higher proportion of extinct organisms.
Homeostasis (Item 37)
- The nervous and endocrine systems maintain homeostasis (a stable internal environment).
- Homeostasis includes regulating factors like body temperature and water levels.
Chemical Reactions (Item 49)
- A balanced chemical equation shows equal numbers of each type of atom on both sides of the arrow.
- The Law of Conservation of Mass is fundamental in all chemical reactions.
Monosaccharides (Item 40)
- The diagram depicts a monosaccharide being created in the forming of a large molecule (similar to polysaccharide).
