Name:_____________________Teacher:_________________Period:_____________ MJ Earth Space EOC Science (2001010) Study Guide Revised 2/2015 Nature of Science Chapters 1 & 2 Independent Variable - Dependent Variable - Scientific Law - Scientific Theory - Trend - Density - 1) Why is it important for scientists to follow and carefully record their procedures? 2) Contrast replication and repetition. 3) Are scientific theories ever changed? If so, under what conditions? 4) What are the 2 different ways to find the volume of an object? Give an example of when each might be used. 5) What is the difference between observational research and experimental research? Give an example of when each might be used. Earth Chapter 7-14 Conduction - Convection - Radiation - Deposition - Erosion - Law of Superposition – Relative Age - Absolute Age - Radioactive Dating - Fog - Condensation - Evaporation - Greenhouse Effect - Smog - Pangea – Convergent Boundary – Divergent Boundary – Subduction Zone – 6) List and describe the 3 ways heat is transferred and give an example of each. 7) Describe the processes necessary to change one type of rock to another. Make sure to include formation of sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks. a) Sedimentary – b) Igneous – c) Metamorphic – 8) Label the diagram with the following words: igneous rock, metamorphic rock, sedimentary rock, sediment, magma 9) Describe the relative age of rocks using the Law of Superposition. 10) Define the 5 spheres of Earth which include Atmosphere, Biosphere, Geosphere, Cryosphere, Hydrosphere. a) Atmosphere – b) Biosphere – c) Geosphere – d) Cryosphere – e) Hydrosphere – Provide 2 interactions between spheres. Example 1 – Example 2 - 11) How are the climates of coastal regions different than inland climates? Explain. 12) What is fog and give an example of when you have experienced it in daily life? How does its density compare to the humidity in the air? 13) Explain how the energy from the sun causes convection currents on earth. 14) Differentiate between weather and climate. 15) The relative position of the moon to the Earth causes what event in our Earth’s oceans? 16) Make a table to describe the layers of the Earth from the inside to the outside including composition, temperature and pressure. 17) Explain what causes the outer layers of the Earth to move. 18) What evidence have scientists discovered that support theory of plate tectonics and continental drift? 19) Why would some locations on Earth be more likely to have earthquakes than others? Florida Landforms Delta - Dune - 20) What is a dune and how is it formed? What factors might affect the changing of dunes in Florida? 21) Why is it illegal to walk on sand dunes and pick sea oats? Outer Space Chapters 3-5 HR (Hertzsprung-Russell) Diagram - Sunspots – Prominences – Lunar Eclipse – Solar Eclipse – Revolution – Rotation – Heliocentric – Geocentric – 22) Compare and contrast absolute brightness and apparent brightness. 23) What factors affect how bright a star looks from the earth? 24) How does the mass of a star affect its brightness (luminosity)? 25) Use the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram to fill in the blanks: a. Star _____________ has the greatest absolute brightness. b. Star _____________ has the greatest surface temperature. 26) Explain the role of gravity in the following: a. Keeping the planets in orbit b. Formation of stars and planets 27) Use the diagram to answer the following questions: a) In the diagram, what season is it in North America? b) Would a person at each of the points A, B, and C see the sun? If so, where would the sun be in the sky? c) Which is a person standing at point B seeing, sunrise or sunset? Explain. 28) What is the relationship between the Earth, Sun, Moon, Solar System, Milky Way Galaxy and Universe? 29) Draw and label the 3 types of galaxies: 30) Compare and contrast the composition of the inner and outer planets: Inner Planets Outer Planets 31) What is a major limitation of living on the moon? 32) Fill in the table below: Planet Diameter (km) Period of rotation (Earth days) Average distance from sun (AU) A4 Period of revolution (Earth days) Number of Moons Mercury Venus Earth Mars Planet Diameter (km) Period of rotation (Earth hours) Average distance from sun (AU) Period of revolution (Earth years) Number of Moons Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune 33) Using the table you filled in, analyze the following trends between the inner and outer planets: a. Period of revolution: b. Distance from the sun: 34) How many stars do scientists estimate are in the Milky Way galaxy? In the universe?
