grams

200

What is the metric unit representing distance? 

meters

Topography/gradient

100

What are the intervals each line represents in the picture? 

20

200

Which point on the map has the higher elevation? 

X

300

If rain fell on point X, which direction would it flow?   (use compass directions)

Southeast

400

What point has the lowest elevation? A, E, C, or D

D

500

Which direction does the cinder river flow? (use compass directions 

Northwest

Latitude/longitude

100

_____________________ lines run Around the earth (east to west) BUT measure how far North or South you are.

Latitude

200

_____________________ lines run Over the earth (North to South) BUT measure how far East or West you are. They also help determine time zones.

Longitude

300

For an observer in New York State, the altitude of

Polaris is 43 degrees above the northern horizon. This observer's latitude is closest to the latitude of (page 3 ESRT)

A. New York City             B. Utica

C. Plattsburgh                 D. Jamestown

B. Utica

400

What is the latitude and longitude of point L?

5 S   30 W

500

Draw an equatorial and polar view of how latitude lines go around the earth.

Rocks/minerals

100

Metamorphic rocks are formed by ________________ and __________________

deep in the earth's crust. 

heat and pressure

200

_________________ is a process necessary for the formation of igneous rocks. (2 possible answers)

melting or solidification

300

I am a rock with lots of shell pieces and other stuff put together. What kind of rock am I? 

sedimentary

400

I am a rock with very distinct banding formed form heat a pressure. What rock am I? 

metamorphic

500

I did a few tests to determine what mineral I was looking at. I hit it with a hammer, scratched it on porcelain to see the color of the dust, and then scratched it on glass. In order, what was I testing for with these three tests? 

cleavage, streak, hardness

Weathering/erosion/plates

100

What is the outermost layer of the Earth called?

Crust

200

This is the layer just beneath the crust that has a gooey, peanut butter feel. It allows for continental plates to move around. 

asthenosphere (plastic mantle)

300

Draw arrows that represent a convergent boundary

--><---

400

Movement of tectonic plates is driven by 

convection currents

500

Deposition of sediments occur when a stream enters an ocean because...

the water decreases in velocity
