ANSWERS


north (The point is drawn toward the magnetic North Pole).


matter (Atoms and molecules are made of matter).molecules are made of ma


70 percent (Seventy percent of Earth is covered by water, and most of that is ocean).


a place where an organism lives (A habitat is a place where an organism lives. Loss of habitat is a reason that many species disappear).


365 days (This 365-day cycle is the basis for our calendar system).


three (The three main subatomic particles in atoms are electrons, protons and neutrons).

elements according to their atomic numbers (Elements with similar properties are in the same column).


ecosystem (Earth is home to many diverse ecosystems).


the nonliving parts of an environment (Soil and rain are examples of the nonliving parts of an environment).
