Name: _____________________________________________ Period: ________ DUE Date: Earth Systems Quick Study Card Your task is to create a quick study card for the Earth Systems Unit Exam. Geology Concepts: Total Points 1. Make a chart to illustrate and label the three major types of plate boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform fault. 5 2. Make a table and label geologic formations that form from convergent plate boundaries for the following type of subduction zones: oceanic crust- oceanic crust; oceanic crust – continental crust; and continental crust – continental crust. Give at least 1 specific land form that has arisen from each. 5 3. Make an illustration of a geologic hot spot. Give 2 examples of geologic formations that have resulted from geologic hot spots. 5 4. Include a world map. Label examples of hotspots, volcanic arcs, divergent plate boundaries, the Himalayan Mountains. 5 5. Draw the rock cycle and include the three main types of rocks. 5 6. What are tsunamis? Where and how do they form? 5 7. Draw a diagram that illustrates the formation of an earthquake. Include the epicenter and the focus. 5 Soils Concepts: 8. Draw and label the horizons (O, A, E, B, and C) found in a soil profile. Include in your illustration what is found in each horizon. 10 9. Draw an illustration to show the three soil particle sizes. Which is the largest? Which is the smallest? How does particle size relate to soil permeability? 5 10. Include a diagram of a soil texture triangle and give an example problem of how to use it to determine the soil type of a soil sample. 5 11. What are the three primary soil nutrients and what are the three secondary soil nutrients? 5 12. Make a chart that lists and illustrates at least 5 ecosystem services of soils. 5 The Atmosphere, Weather and Climate: DUE with the entire Quick Study Card on Exam Day 13. Make a diagram to illustrate the layers of the atmosphere. Include at least 2 characteristics for each layer. 10 14. Draw and illustrate the rainshadow effect. What type of land form is formed by the effect? What type of landform is usually needed for it? 5 15. Make a table to show the effect of latitude and altitude for temperature and precipitation. 5 16. What is El Nino? What are the characteristics of El Nino? Where does it occur? 5 Accuracy, Neatness, and Appropriate Use of Color. Color needs to be embedded and used appropriately (Please do not color large sections different colors). TOTAL Score 10 100 Self Grade Teacher Grade
