Dual Credit Major Topics for Studying Plate Tectonics Earth’s structure: Layers and properties (i.e. crust, mantle core) Names of plates Continental Drift Types of volcanoes; magma types (felsic and maffic) Features of volcanoes Lava types Seismic waves, earthquakes liquefaction 2004 tsunami Rocks and Minerals Types of rocks and rock cycle; common rock names (i.e. granite, obsidian, quartzite, shale, slate etc) Common minerals and properties Igneous Plumes/Plutons Geologic Time Radioactive isotopes Types of fossilization Relative Time, laws of superposition Geologic Time Early theories including uniformitarianism, neptunism, faunal succession Radioactive Decay (parent, daughter, half-life) Additional Erosion and weathering (i.e. exfoliation, abrasion, alluvial sediment) Terms to research: migmatic, phaneritic, humus, karst Very little on mining or the environment
