Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in Java 3rd Edition - Solutions by Chapter

The great circle that separates daylight from darkness.

One of three basic cloud forms; also one of the three high cloud types. They are thin, delicate ice-crystal clouds often appearing as veil-like patches or thin, wispy fibers.

A sedimentary rock made of broken fragments of preexisting rock.

A system that is self-contained with regards to matter—that is, no matter enters or leaves.

A cloud that has its base in the low-height range but extends upward into the middle or high altitudes.

The study of the universe.

A short channel segment created when a river erodes through the narrow neck of land between meanders.

A tidal pattern exhibiting one high tide and one low tide during a tidal day; a daily tide.

A succession of organisms in an ecological community through which food energy is transferred from producers through herbivores and on to one or more carnivores.

The remains or traces of organisms preserved from the geologic past.

Dust and gases found between stars.

A topography consisting of numerous depressions called sinkholes.

Small solid particles that have orbits in the solar system.

A term often used synonymously with hypothesis but is less precise because it is sometimes used to describe a theory as well.

Mineral groups that lack silicas in their structures and account for less than 10 percent of Earth’s crust.

Layers of sediments are generally deposited in a horizontal or nearly horizontal position.

A layer beneath the mantle about 2,200 kilometers (1,364 miles) thick that has the properties of a liquid.

The process by which most igneous rocks melt. Since individual minerals have different melting points, most igneous rocks melt over a temperature range of a few hundred degrees. If the liquid is squeezed out after some melting has occurred, a melt with a higher silica content results.

Stars poor in atoms heavier than helium. Nearly always relatively old stars found in the halo, globular clusters, or nuclear bulge.

Any one of numerous minerals that have the oxygen and silicon tetrahedron as their basic structure.
