1. How
does each
of these
rocks pass
through
the rock
cycle?
Igneous-Magma or lava melts and
cools
2. What
are
characteris
tics of an
igneous
Intrusive- Magma cools slowly
creating large crystals
Sedimentary-rocks weather and
erode, then are cemented or
compacted together
Metamorphic-heat and pressure
Extrusive- Lava cools quickly creating
little to no crystals
1
rock?
3. What
are
characteris
tics of a
sedimentar
y rock?
Clastic- broken pieces of rock
cemented or compacted together
Organic-remains of living things
compacted together
Chemical- Water evaporates leaving
the minerals to cement together
Shows Stratification.
4. What
are
characteris
tics of a
metamorphi
c rock?
Foliated- arranged bands or planes in
a rock
Non-foliated- non arranged planes or
bands in a rock
2
5. What is Subduction of plates melts rock and
the rock cycle starts again
the
relationship
between
Sea Floor spreading creates new rock
the rock
cycle and
plate
tectonics
theory?
6. Draw and
label the
composition
al interior
of the
earth, using
these
terms;
crust,
mantle, and
3
core.
7. Draw
and label
the
structural
interior of
the earth
using these
terms,
lithosphere
,
asthenosph
ere,
mesosphere
and inner
and outer
cores.
8.
Where Liquid outer core of the earth
4
is the
magnetic
field of the
earth
generated?
9. How do
P and S
waves
compare?
P waves
S waves
5
10. How
are the
speed and
the medium
through
which P
(primary)
and S
(secondary)
waves
travel
through
different?
P-waves
S- waves
Twice as fast
Slower
Go through any
material
Only goes through
solids
11. How do P and S waves travel through the
earth and are reflected and change
P and S
waves tell speeds
us about
the interior
6
of the
earth?
12. What is
the
difference
between
the age,
density,
and
composition
of oceanic
and
continental
crust?
Oceanic
Age-younger than continental
Density- more dense
Composition-basalt
Continental
Age-older, can be up to 3.8 billion
years old
Density-less dense
Composition- Granite

13. How do
plate
tectonics
create seafloor
spreading?
Plates separate and less dense
magma rises to the surface
14. How do
plate
tectonics
create mid
ocean
ridges?
Plates separate and less dense
magma rises to the surface
Rock gets older the farther from the
ridge
Divergent Plate boundary
Long mountain chain
Divergent boundary
15. How do The denser plate (heavier) will sink
below the other plate (convergent)
plate
tectonics
this creates volcanoes, mountains,
create
trenches, island arcs
8
subduction Deep earthquakes
zones?
convergent
16. How do
plate
tectonics
create
earthquake
s?
Near plate boundaries, faults occur.
When faults move past each other,
elastic rebound happens, which
causes an earthquake
17. How do At subduction zones, mid ocean
ridges and hot spots
plate
tectonics
create
volcanoes?
18. How do Warmer mantle rises because it is
convection less dense
currents
Cooler mantle sinks because it is
9
relate to
more dense
the earth’s This movement causes the plates to
mantle?
move
Warmer rocks=less dense
19. What
happens to Cooler rocks=more dense
the density
of rocks at
different
temperatur
es?
20. What
is the
affect of
gravity on
tectonic
plates?
Slab pull-gravity will help pull the
plate
10
21. What Convergent
is the
deep
relationship
between
the depth
of an
earthquake
and the
type of
boundary?
Divergent
Transform
shallow
shallow
Divergent-sea floor spreading
23. What
type of
boundary
will produce
the
youngest
rock?
Why?
11
24. What
is the
difference
between
the focus
and
epicenter?
Focus-underneath earth where
earthquake starts
25. What
is the
difference
between
seismogram
and
seismograp
h?
Seismogram-tracing of an earthquake
made by a seismograph
Epicenter-the spot on the earth
directly above the focus
Seismograph-instrument that
records seismic waves
12
26. How do Alternating layers of lava from quiet
composite eruptions and pyroclastic material
volcanoes
from explosive eruptions
form?
27. How do Layers of pyroclastic material from
cinder cone explosive eruptions
volcanoes
form?
28. How do Layers of lava from quiet eruptions
shield
volcanoes
form?
28. What Trapped water vapor and other
are
gases, high viscosity lava
characteris
tics of an
explosive
13
volcanic
eruption?
29. Where Subduction zones
are places
that
destructive
volcanoes
and
earthquake
s occur?
30. What
hazards are
associated
with
destructive
earthquake
s and
volcanoes?
Tsunamis, Destruction of buildings,
floods
Ash, landslides, plumes, pyroclastic
flow, fire
14
31. What
are some
long term
effects
that can
happen
from
volcanic
eruptions?
Climate change from ash plumes
33. What Parent isotope decays into daughter
is the
isotope, scientists know that rateprocess of half life
radioactive
decay?
15
34. Study
the graph
and answer
the
questions
that are
underneath
it.
1. After 1 half life, how much of the
original material is
left?______1/2_____________
2. When there is 1/16 of the original
material left, how many half lives has it
gone
through?_______4________________
35. Why is All living things have C-14
carbon 14
used in
dating once
living
16
things?
36. How
did the
earth
form?
Dust and gas from a planetary nebula
began to come together because of
gravity
37. How
outgassing of volcanoes
did the
earth’s
atmosphere
form?

did the
earth’s
oceans
form?
Outgassing of volcanoes
17

Cretaceous
is the
-Tertiary
difference
(K-T)
in the
extinctions Dinosaursof the
2nd
