Review for Unit Test
Earth Layers:
What are they?
Which is the hottest layer?
Which is the thickest layer?
What are layers made of?
What phase of matter is each layer?
What is plasticity?
What are P and S waves, and what do they do?
Draw a diagram of the layers of the earth and label it with the names of each layer and their most important traits
Weathering:
What is it?
What is chemical weathering?
What is physical/mechanical weathering?
What are examples of each type of weathering?
Create a graphic organizer (web, chart, Venn diagram, etc.) that explains what the types of weathering are and examples of each
Erosion:
What is it?
What causes it?
What are problems that are caused by erosion?
What can we do to help prevent soil erosion?
Deposition:
What is it?
Soil:
How is it made?
What is residual soil?
What is transported soil?
What is humus? Why is it important for plant growth?
What is a soil profile? What are the soil horizons? What are they called? What can be found in each layer?
How are gravel, sand, silt, and clay different from each other? Which is biggest? Smallest?
What is percolation rate? How does this relate to soil size?
What is absorption capacity? How does this relate to soil size?
Draw a soil profile that shows the soil horizons, labels them, and includes the substances found in each horizon
Rock Cycle
Draw a diagram of the rock cycle – you need to be able to do this
Igneous rocks: How do they form? What are intrusive igneous rocks? What are extrusive igneous rocks? What are some examples? What is magma? What is lava?
Metamorphic rocks: How do they form?
Sedimentary rocks: How do they form? What are clastic sedimentary rocks? What are chemical sedimentary rocks? What are organic sedimentary rocks? What is limestone?
Be able to explain the process of the rock cycle in detail, including where the processes happen
Explaining the rock cycle in detail (an example) -
There is an igneous rock on the side of a mountain. Rain pours down onto it, and it starts to break apart into sediments. The broken pieces are carried down the mountain by the force of gravity (erosion). They fall into a stream and water erodes them more. Pieces break off as the river brings the sediments to a lake. The sediments get deposited at the bottom of the lake. Over time, the sediments are compacted and cemented together by pressure of layers of sediment above. Even more layers form on top of the sedimentary rock, and it gets pushed under the Earth's surface. Eventually, there is enough heat and pressure that the sedimentary rock morphs into a metamorphic rock. Eventually that rock gets hot enough to melt into magma inside a volcano. The volcano erupts, and the lava that comes out cools and hardens into igneous rock.
