Part II: Answer the following questions, or be able to demonstrate the skills described.
1. Correctly identify a mineral from a chart of test results when given a description. Be able
to use data about rocks and minerals to determine suitability for different usages.
2. Explain the steps of the rock cycle, how each type of rock forms, and the processes that
form different types of rocks. Be able to describe how one rock transforms into another.
3. Explain the relationships between the type of plate boundary and the likely depth,
magnitude, and intensity of an earthquake.
4. When given a map of plate boundaries, determine the direction of movement for any
plate, and which plates, if any, are undergoing subduction. Predict future locations of the
continents based upon a plate boundary map, and the likely locations of any volcanoes.
5. List and explain at least 3 different types of damage able to be caused by volcanic
eruptions. Know the 3 major types of volcanoes, their basic characteristics, how they are
powered and be able to give an example of each type.
