Midterm Review Density Shape of the Earth Latitude, Longitude, Time, Polaris, Crust, Atmosphere, Hydrosphere Charts (esrt) Rocks and Minerals Weathering, Erosion, Deposition Earthquakes, Plate Tectonics Geologic History
Density: • What happens to density when you heat an object? • What happens to density when you cut a block into pieces? • What happens to density when you add pressure? • Calculate density for the following : Mass=200g, Volume=50cm3 • Calculate mass if Volume=2cm3, Density=4g/cm3
Erosion-Deposition Where is: • Erosion • Deposition • Fastest velocity • Slowest Velocity • Where will most sediments be deposited, Why
Agent of Erosion.Direction of Movement.Appearance of Sediments
Which element makes up greatest percent by volume in: • Earth’s Crust • Earth’s Atmosphere • Earth’s Hydrosphere Define: 4. Lithosphere, Atmosphere, Hydrosphere
What layer of atmosphere is: • 30 mi in altitude? • Contains most water vapor • 60 km altitude Name the Boundary Layer that: 4. Has a temperature of -90 5. Temperature of 80
What layer of earth has: • Pressure of 3.5 million atm • Temp. above melting point • Temp. of 2,000 • Absorbs S waves • Is MOST dense • Has convection currents
Minerals • Name 3 silicate minerals • What determines a mineral’s hardness, streak and cleavage? • Metallic luster, black streak, ore of iron. • Which minerals is main component in drywall? • Which mineral will scratch olivine? • The tendency of a mineral to break along smooth, flat planes is called: • Rubbing a mineral on a plate tests its:
1. Match each picture with its Rock Type. 2. What evidence is in the rock that helped you identify it?
What grain size is layer 2 composed of?What is the name of rock layer 3 Name the fossil in layer 3What period did layer 3 form?
What type of rock is at location X,?Name the rock at X, Y, Z Z Y X
What rock is formed by: • Heat and Pressure- • Melting and Solidification- • Compaction, Cementation of Sediments- • What rock has Fossils-
Name the rock: • Composed of potassium feldspar & quartz crystals of size 3mm. • What environment did this rock form in, and at what rate did it cool?
Locations • State the latitude of Syracuse, NY • State the lat, long of Tasman Hotspot • State the altitude of Polaris for Elmira, NY
Highest possible elevation at A • Direction Flint Creek is flowing • Where is steepest side of Hill A? • What is elevation of X? • Calculate Gradient from X to Y (distance=2km.
Seismic Waves • What is P wave travel time for distance o 3,000km • Difference in P and S arrival times is 5minues, what is distance to epicenter • What is distance to epicenter if S travel time is 10 minutes • What is origin time of earthquake 4600km away, if P wave arrived at 10:48:00
