NAME:_____________________________________ Date: __________ CP GEO SCIENCE MID TERM REVIEW Pd:__________ 1. Define geology and differentiate between physical and historical geology. 2. Describe the stages involved in Nebula hypothesis including the abundant elements involved in the early formation of the universe. 3. List and describe each of Earth’s major spheres. 4. Describe the global grid in reference to latitude and longitude lines. 5. Locate, in terms of latitude or longitude, the location of the equator, the prime meridian, and the international dateline. 6. Identify the use of topographic maps. 7. Identify the common symbols used on a topographic map. 8. Define isolines, describe how they are used on a topographic map, and describe the relationship between the distance between contour lines on a map and the elevation of the represented landscape. 9. Compare and contrast a scientific hypothesis and a scientific law. 10. List and describe the 5 characteristics of all minerals. 11. Describe the properties of minerals. (Color, Streak, Luster, Hardness, Cleavage/Fracture, Crystal Form, Specific Gravity, Special Properties) 12. Identify the major classes of minerals. 13. Recognize for what the Mohs scale is used. 14. Compare the inner (terrestrial) and outer (Jovian) planets in terms of size, composition, temperature, etc. 15. List the layers of the Earth in order of density. Describe the composition of each layer. 16. Describe the evidence that supported Wegener’s Continental Drift theory. 17. Describe the theory of plate tectonics. What does this theory help scientists to explain? 18. Identify the components of each type of Earth’s lithosphere. 19. Describe the different types of plate boundaries. 20. Identify what landforms are created at each type of boundary. a. Divergent boundary at two continental plates can result in a rift valley – example, Great Rift Valley in Africa b. Divergent boundary of two oceanic plates results in mid-ocean ridges 21. Types and locations of 3 most common types of volcanoes 22. Differentiate between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks. 23. Factors that determine how violently or quietly a volcano erupts. 24. Define plutons – identify common plutons 25. Define pyroclastic material 26. Atmosphere composition and layers 27. EM Spectrum – wavelengths and frequency relationship 28. How does the atmosphere balance unequal heating of Earth’s surface? 29. Terrestrial and Jovian planet comparisons? 30. Why would Venus be unlikely to support life? 31. Visible spectrum order of wavelength. 32. Star’s spectrum supplies what information? 33. Accuracy versus Precision 34. Map intervals on topographic map 35. Representative fraction on map 36. Density definition and layering of liquids 37. Independent/dependent variable relationships – direct, inverse / positive, negative slope 38. Reading topographic profile 39. Abstract density problems (higher density - ? mass - ? volume)
