What primary characteristic is responsible for these properties? Si02 Internal Structure On a separate piece of paper, draw the entire rock cycle. Include all three rock types, their geologic environments, and sub-arrows 50 Describe the four major disciplines that define the contents discussed in the Earth Sciences Geology Astronomy Meteorology Oceanography 10 Explain why the earth is considered a closed system There is an exchange of energy but not matter 20 Name the planets in their proper order starting with the first planet from the sun N S U J V E M M SUN 30 On a separate piece of paper, draw a cross-section showing the layers of the interior of the earth. Explain why the densities of layers get progressively gets lighter as one moves from the core to the earth’s surface 40 Explain how the scientific method is used to find the “accuracy” of processes within our universe 50 P-waves travel through --? S-waves travel through --? P-wave – solids and liquids S-wave – solids ONLY 10 Draw a diagram showing the following earthquake features epicenter focus seismic waves fault line 20 Interior of the Earth What are these zones called and WHY? 30 Describe the differences between the Mercallie’s scale of intensities and the Richter Scale for measuring earthquake magnitude 40 Using the California diagram below draw the location of the San Andreas Fault and where Bakersfield would be located. San Andreas Fault Bakersfield 50 Which is an accurate statement about rocks? a. Rocks seldom undergo change b. Most rocks contain fossils c. Most rocks have several minerals in common d. Rocks are located in continental areas of the earth 10 Describe an “open-system” Give two examples of open-systems Found on earth 20 A geologist finds an igneous rock and describes the texture as “interlocking” grains that can be easily seen. 30 What textural term is given to this type of rock and where did it form? Phanaritic Intrusive (formed below the surface) The physical properties of a mineral are largely due to its a. melting point b. volume c. organic composition d. internal arrangement of atom 40 The recrystallization of unmelted material under high temperature and pressure results in a. volcanic rock b. metamorphic rock c. igneous rock d. sedimentary rock 50 Click here for Final Jeopardy
