imagine that all atoms are little balls with springs forcing them apart. when a force is applied to the springs will compress before the ball. in a fluid the balls will slip past each other so the energy is dispersed fast. in a solid there is an elastic effect so as the energy remains mostly in the object but as the the atoms are stressed want to return to their original low energy state. but the atoms over shoot and beguine oscillating.

What is the role of a cactus as it moves energy and matter through its ecosystem?
I need to know this answer too!! For my homework :)
Matter moves through an ecosystem what way?
An example of how energy moves through our ecosystem is by the wind flowing through flowers which have pollination which carries pollen to other flowers which pollinates The other plants and it also helps the bees collect the pollination to make honey
What happens to the 90 percent of energy that does not transfer to the next trophic level in a food chain?
it gets lost through each trophic level while only the other 10% moves on..
How are matter and energy different?
Philosophically one might think of matter as "frozen" energy, and energy as "dynamic matter." Most energy escapes in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Hence the "c" in the equation above, relating matter and energy. Just a small amount of mass, multiplied by the speed of light squared (which is a LARGE constant) translates into an enormous amount of energy. Matter is not frozen solid, it vibrates, like trapped energy yearning to be free. Free neutron half life is around 12 minutes, after which these decay into proton/electron pairs. The mass difference (neutrons are slightly larger than a proton and electron combined) is imparted to the electron in the form of energy. These high speed electrons are known as "beta" particles. Careful observations of protons in the Super Kamiokande Detector in Japan have not revealed any instance of proton decay. So it is possible this form of matter may be constant, never "thawing" back into energy. The smaller the particle, the larger the wave form associated with it. These waves are known as DeBroglie waves. All matter propagates (moves through space) by wave, and energy is associated with the wave. Note: This energy is different from the vibrational energy mentioned above, which is released (or reduced) via emission of infrared radiation, or long wave electromagnetic radiation known as heat. The less heat atoms or molecules contain, the slower they vibrate.
Relationship between matter and energy in ocean ecosystem food chain?
· 1. Section 3 Matter and Energy in Ecosystems · 2. Energy Flow Through Ecosystems Food contains nutrients and energy needed for survival. Matter and Energy 3 When one organism is food for another organism, some of the energy in the first organism (the food) is transferred to the second organism (the eater). · 3. Energy Flow Through Ecosystems Producers are organisms that take in and use energy from the Sun or some other source to produce food. Consumers are organisms that take in energy when they feed on producers or other consumers. Matter and Energy 3 When organisms die, other organisms called decomposers take in energy as they break down the remains of organisms. · 4. Food Chains A food chain is a model, a simple way of showing how energy, in the form of food, passes from one organism to another. When drawing a food chain, arrows between organisms indicate the direction of energy transfer. Matter and Energy 3 · 5. Food Chains Food chains usually have only three or four links. This is because the available energy decreases from one link to the next link. In a food chain, the amount of energy left for the last link is only a small portion of the energy in the first link. Matter and Energy 3 · 6. Food Webs A food web is a series of overlapping food chains that exist in an ecosystem. A food web provides a more complete model of the way energy moves through an ecosystem. Matter and Energy 3 · 7. Food Webs Matter and Energy 3 · 8. Topic: Energy Transfer Food chains are models that represent energy moving through an environment. As food moves through a food chain very little energy is passed from one level to the next. Food webs are models of several overlapping food chains. · 9. Ecological Pyramids Most of the energy in the biosphere comes from the Sun. Producers take in and transform only a small part of the energy that reaches Earth's surface. Matter and Energy 3 · 10. Ecological Pyramids An ecological pyramid models the number of organisms at each level of a food chain. The bottom of an ecological pyramid represents the producers of an ecosystem. Matter and Energy 3 The rest of the levels represent successive consumers. · 11. Energy Pyramid An energy pyramid compares the energy available at each level of the food chain in an ecosystem. A pyramid of energy usually has three or four levels. Matter and Energy 3 Only about ten percent of the energy at each level of the pyramid is available to the next level. · 12. Topic: Energy Pyramids Most of the energy in an environment comes from the sun. An ecological pyramid models the number of organisms at each level of a food chain Only about ten percent of the energy at each level of the pyramid is available to the next level · 13. The Cycles of Matter The law of conservation of mass states that matter on Earth is never lost or gained. It is used over and over again. The carbon atoms in your body might have been on Earth since the planet formed billions of years ago. They have been recycled billions of times. Matter and Energy 3 · 14. Other Cycles in Nature Matter and Energy 3 The movement of carbon through Earth's biosphere is called the carbon cycle. · 15. Other Cycles in Nature The nitrogen cycle begins with the transfer of nitrogen from the atmosphere to producers then to consumers. Matter and Energy 3 The nitrogen then moves back to the atmosphere or directly into producers again. Phosphorus, sulfur, and other elements needed by living organisms also are used and returned to the environment. · 16. Topic: Matter and Cycles Matter cannot be created or destroyed. The three main cycles that affect living things are the water cycle, the carbon cycle, and the nitrogen cycle. Carbon is cycled through photosynthesis and respiration. (pg. 216, 275) Nitrogen is mainly cycled from producers to consumers and back to the atmosphere. (pg. 216) · 17. What Have You Learned? Why will most habitats never reach biotic potential? What is the difference in food chains and food webs? What does an energy pyramid show? What cycles mainly effect living things?
How does matter and energy transfer through a desert?
it moves
What happens to matter when it gains kinetic energy?
When an object gains kinetic energy, it moves faster.
What are the differences between conduction convection and radiation?
Conduction-happens when heat moves from one object to another through direct contact Radiation-happens when energy ,such as heat, moves in waves between one object and another Convection-happens when matter carries heat from one place to another

What is a cycle in nature that moves matter and energy through the nonliving and living parts of the earth?
monotheism
How does matter moves?
Energy
How does a matter moves?
matter moves by kinetic [moving] energy when for example something is pushed
What is energy that moves matter called?
it is due to kinetic energy that a matter moves. matter gains some velocity due to its mass on applying force on it
What form of energy moves particles of matter?
kinetic energy
What happens to sample of matter when its particles lose kinetic energy?
its particles stop moving around because of loosing kinetic energy. As you know kinetic energy is something that moves around .And particles in sample of matter cool off and stop.
What is a form of energy that moves through wires?
Electricity moves through wires.
