Geology

1. Describe faults and earthquakes. Include information on seismic waves and the scales used to describe earthquake

strength.

• Fault- break in the crust where slabs of crust slip past each other

• Earthquake- shaking that results from the movement of rock beneath Earth’s surface

• ****Earthquake is caused by shift in lithosphere• Moment Magnitude is the current scale used to

describe earthquake size. It is based on seismic information. Above 5.0 is destructive

1. Seismic waves carry the energy of an earthquake- P waves,

S waves, surface waves

2. Describe Igneous rocks p. 342

• Forms when magma or lava cools and hardens

• Intrusive- formed from magma beneath the surface (large crystals)

• Extrusive- forms from lava on surface (ocean floor)

3. Describe Metamorphic rocks.P. 345

• Heat and pressure deep beneath Earth’s surface

• Different from the rock that formed it (chemical reactions)

4. Describe Sedimentary rocks. P. 343

• Forms when particles of rock and other materials are pressed and stuck together

• Sediments

• Erosion- flowing water, waves, wind, ice

• Deposition- sediment is laid down (rest)

• Cementation- compact

5. Draw and label the rock cycle.P. 347

6. Label the volcano diagram p. 376

Crack through which the magma rises

Where Magma leaves pipe

collects Lava

Large underground pocket

7. Describe the Theory of Plate Tectonics. Include information on plate boundaries,

Wegener’s super-continent and plate movements.

• Earth’s plates are in constant, slow motion

• Explains how plates move, form and interact

• Producing volcanoes, mountains, earthquakes, features on the ocean floor

• Wegener called the supercontinent PANGAEA

• Compression- two continental plates collide they form mountain range

• Subduction- one plate melts and becomes magma- volcanic activity

Continental Movements The supercontinent

6. Draw a picture of the arrangement of atoms in each of

the states of matter

STATES OF MATTER

SOLID• definite volume and a definite

LIQUID• has no shape of its own, takes

on the shape of its container• it has definite volume

Gases•particles spread apart,

has neither definite shape nor volume

•gas will fill the container you put it in

7. Describe what happens in each change in state of matter. Include if thermal energy is

increased or decreased. • Freezing- liquid to solid, decrease

• Vaporization- (what is the difference between evaporation and boiling?) liquid to gas, increase

evaporization is on the surface

• Sublimation- solid to gas, increase

• Melting- solid to liquid, increase

condensation

8. Chemical change/reaction

• A change in matter that produces new substance with properties different from the original substance

• Souring of milk• Burning of wood• Lighting a match• Baking a cake• Eating

9. Chemical properties

• Burning or flammability

• Rusting• Tarnishing• milk curdling (spoils-

solid particles)

• Characteristic that is observed when a substance interacts with another substance

10. Physical changes

• A change that alters the form or appearance of a substance but does not make the material into another substance

• Paper becomes confetti

• Cutting a cake• Onion cut into slices• Trees cut down into

furniture• Butter melting• Oranges into juice

11. Physical properties

• characteristic of a substance that can be observed without changing the substance into something else

• Color• Texture• Odor• Density• Hardness• Melting• Boiling• Freezing• Change in size

12. Density- how much mass in a given volume

Calculate density of the cube if one side measures 5cm and the mass is 250 grams.

5 x 5 x 5 = 125

250/125

= 2 g/cm3

13. MATTER

• Anything that has mass and takes up space

• Examples: you, air, water, table

13. mass

• How much matter or “stuff” an object has

• Unit = grams g

• Measure with triple beam balance

• Does not change

13. weight

• Measure of the force gravity on an object

• Relative to Earth = weight would change if you leave Earth

13. volume

• Amount of space an object occupies

• Unit = cm3 = ml

• V= l x w x h

• Measure with graduated cylinder/beaker/flask

• Period 1

Force & Motion

1. What is motion? How do you describe motion?

• An object is in motion when the distance from another object changes

• Leave reference point• Describe distance and time

in a line graph

2. What is a force? Describe the 5 types of forces

•Force is a push or pull

•Types of forces pages 100-101

2. Contact Force (5 forces on page 100-101)

• two objects are touching, they push each other away.

• Obi-One went through the window- his body is in contact with the window

2. Friction• force that one object applies on another.

• Kicking a soccer ball, the grass is the friction force.

• Friction produces heat • Air resistance

2. Gravitational Force

• force between all objects in the universe.

• Weight

2. Electrical force

•Results from moving electrons

• pull between charged particles – atoms

2. Magnetic Force

•attracts to metals.

• North pole and south poles attract

3. Speed formula• Distance divide by time• Constant speed (p. 90)- stays the

same • Average speed (p. 91) total distance

divide by total time• Units for distance = meters, km, cm,

miles• Units for time = hours, minutes,

Riding a bike 800 m, stop for 4 minutes, continue riding 800 m

4. Speed on a graph- line graph that displays distance over time

5. Newton’s Laws of motion

Sir Isaac Newton

lived during the 1600s

5. Newton’s 1st Law • An object in

motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

• Inertia

5. Newton’s 2nd Law

• Force = Mass x Acceleration

• Gravity accelerates all objects at the same rate, so the elephant and the rock would hit the ground at the same time. (only in a vacuum effect)

• The difference in forces would be caused by the different masses.

5. Newton’s 3rd Law

• For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

The skaters' forces on each other are equal in magnitude, and in opposite directions

6. Balanced force- no movement

• Equal forces acting on one object in opposite directions

• Tug- of –war = only when the rope does not move

• You sitting in a chair

6. unbalanced

• Force changes an object’s motion

• Causes movement

6. Net force

• Overall force on an object when all the individual forces acting on an object are added together.

#7 speed

• Distance in a given amount of time

7. Velocity

•Speed in a given direction

• (N, S, E, W)

7. acceleration

• Rate at which velocity changes

• Speeding up

• Slowing down (deceleration)

• Changing direction

Water and weather review

1. Describe the water Cycle. Draw the cycle. Explain what happens at each

step.• Precipitation – rain, snow, sleet, hail (any

water that falls from the sky)

• Evaporation – process by which molecules absorb enough energy to change from liquid to gas

• Condensation – changing from gas to liquid; forms clouds

• Collection – the accumulation of water

2. Define the following terms:

• Watershed – land area that supplies water to a river system

• Surface Water – water found on the surface of the ground; includes rivers, lakes, streams

• Ground Water – water that is absorbed into the ground

3. Use your textbook to draw the weather symbols

• Cold front- brings brief storms and cooler weather

• Stationary front- long periods of precipitation

3. Use your textbook to draw the weather symbols

• Warm front- precipitation and warm air

• Occluded – precipitation

• High pressure- sunny days, little or no rain, calm weather

• Low pressure- storm, cloudy

4. What gases are found in the Atmosphere?

5. Describe each of the instruments below. Explain what they are used for in weather forecasting. What are the

units for each?

• Psychrometer – used to measure relative humidity; compares the temperature of a wet & dry thermometer; given as a percent

• Anemometer – measures wind speed in mph or kmph; wind forms when air moves from high pressure to low pressure

6. Describe the 3 main types of clouds.

• Cumulus clouds – puffy clouds that form during fair weather - cumulonimbus clouds = cumulus clouds that have grown into rain clouds

• Stratus clouds – low layer clouds that often cover much of the sky;- cause drizzle or rain
