Review for Integrated Science Midterm Name: Answer the following questions as completely as possible! Be sure to number your answers if you use more paper than this! Part I 1. The branch of Earth Science that studies Earth is ___________________. 2. The branch of Earth Science that studies ________________. 3. The branch of Earth Science that studies of the Earth is _________________. 4. The branch of Earth Science that studies Earth is ________________. the air that surrounds the objects beyond Earth is the make up and processes what makes up 75% of the 5. The four main Earth systems are: a. b. c. d. 6. The blanket of gases that surrounds the Earth is called 7. The water in Earth’s oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, and oceans is called 8. The rigid outer shell of the Earth is called the 9. Convection currents that move the plates of Earth are found in the 10. The environment in which all organisms live on Earth is called 11. The partially molten layer of the mantle is called the Part II 1. Place the following activities of the scientific method in order from first (1) to last (5) ____ Analyze the data ____ Make a hypothesis ____ Test the hypothesis by doing an experiment ____ Identify the problem and determine what you want to know ____ Come to a conclusion 2. Put the layers of the Earth in order from outermost (1) innermost (4) ____ Outer Core ____ Mantle ____ Inner Core ____ Crust Part III Metric system 1. To measure the volume of a liquid, you use a 2. To measure the mass of an object you use a 3. The unit used to measure volume of a liquid is 4. The unit used to measure the amount of matter in an object is 5. The unit for temperature is 6. The unit for measuring length is 7. The unit of measurement for measuring the surface area of an object is 8. The tool you would use to measure the length of a piece of string is 9. The tool you would use to determine the surface area of an object is Part IV: Identify each of the following with their degrees of latitude or longitude 1. Equator: 2. International Date Line 3. Prime meridian Define the following: 1. Topographic map 2. Contour lines 3. Cartography 4. Remote sensing 5. How many time zones are there on Earth? Part V: Choose from the following that best fits the definitions Asthenosphere, crust, inner core, mantle, outer core 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. The The The The The thinnest layer of the Earth thickest layer of the Earth layer that is most dense layer that has plasticity layer that is made of liquid Iron and Nickel Part VII: Write a statement that shows the relationship between each pair of words. 1. Theory of Plate Tectonics and Lithosphere 2. Lithospheric Plates and oceanic/continental plates 3. Viscosity and rate of flow of a liquid 4. Igneous rock ages and midocean ridges For each of the boundaries, explain the type of Earth structure found. Make a diagram that shows movement 1. Divergent Boundary 2. Collision Convergent Boundary 3. Subduction plate boundary 4. Transform Boundary For each of the following faults, explain what happens 1. Normal 2. Reverse 3. Strike-Slip What is measured with each of the following scales? 1. Richter scale 2. Modified Mercalli Scale 3. Moment Magnitude scale Answer each of the following questions 1. What instrument is used to detect earthquakes? 2. How many times larger is a 4.0 than a 3.0 on the Richter scale? 3. Why (2)? 4. What is a tsunami, and what causes it? 5. Where do volcanoes occur? 6. Where can earthquakes occur in the US? Part VIII This is similar to the essay question that you will see on your midterm exam. Keep in mind that an essay is technically 4-5 paragraphs in length! “You have found a glassy, black mineral in your backyard. You want to know what mineral it is, and if it has any value. Explain what tests you could do to answer all of the questions you have about this find. How would you use the results of those tests to determine what mineral you have found.
