These pictures illustrate some properties of minerals. List 6 different traits that you can use to classify minerals:
Label the different layers of the Earth. (not to scale) If you were to make this more to scale, what
should be changed?
What happens in the mantle that is special? ____________________ Draw them in.
What is caused by these? (list 3 things)
Why are the layers of the liquids in the jar sequenced the way they are?
Why are the layers of the Earth sequenced the way they are?
Put the letters in order of what happened earliest to latest:
There are 3 different convergent boundaries. Which one is
illustrated in part of the picture? Explain
Sketch and name the 2 that are missing:
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is an example of a _____________________ boundary because the plates are coming apart.
The only other divergent valley was a rift valley. Sketch one here-
How does this illustration relate to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge?

Use this illustration to explain the differences and similarities between
oceanic and continental crust.
What kind of rock is coal? Explain.
What other materials are made
this way?
Which erosive force makes these? Explain.
What is the name of this process?
What causes it?
How does it affect us?
Label where the river STARTS and ENDS.
Label the delta, meanders, a floodplain, tributaries, and wetlands.
What are each of these instruments called and what do they measure?
What is this diagram illustrating?
Explain.
What is this graph illustrating?
Explain.
Surface currents are generated largely by wind. Their patterns are determined by
wind direction, Coriolis forces from the Earth’s rotation, and the position of landforms
that interact with the currents. Surface wind-driven currents generate upwelling
currents in conjunction with landforms, creating deepwater currents.
Currents may also be generated by density differences in water masses caused by
temperature and salinity variations. These currents move water masses through the
deep ocean—taking nutrients, oxygen, and heat with them.
Occasional events also trigger serious currents. Huge storms move water masses.
Underwater earthquakes may trigger devastating tsunamis. Both move masses of
water inland when they reach shallow water and coastlines. Earthquakes may also
trigger rapid downslope movement of water-saturated sediments, creating turbidity
currents strong enough to snap submarine communication cables.
Bottom currents scour and sort sediments, thus affecting what kind of bottom develops in an area—hard or soft, fine
grained or coarse. Bottom substrate (material) determines what kinds of communities may develop in an area.
Finally, when a current that is moving over a broad area is forced into a confined space, it may become very strong.
On the ocean floor, water masses forced through narrow openings in a ridge system or flowing around a seamount
may create currents that are far greater than in the surrounding water—affecting the distribution and abundance of
organisms as well as the scientists and their equipment seeking to study them.

We are part of the Milky Way Galaxy, which is part of the Local group that includes Leo I, Andromeda, and Trangulum
galaxies. Our Local group is part of the Local Supercluster that also includes Virgo and Eridanus Cluster, which is just one
of many superclusters.
Draw the 4 types of galaxies and describe each:
