What is the pythagorean theorem?
c=sqrt(a^2+b^2)
100
What is topography?
the study of the surface of the land
100
How are topographic maps useful to geologists?
help to understand the tectonic activity, landforms
200
How do you find total surface area?
Add up the areas of each shape
200
Volume is measured in:
A. Lines
B. Squared units
C. Cubic units
C: Cubic units
200
The shortest distance between two points is...

200
If contour lines are closer together, the incline is...
steeper
200
How does surface area help geologists?
the surface area of a rock tells us a lot about how it will weather!
300
What is the surface area of this prism?
256 cm^2
300
B. 60 cubic inches
300
Calculate the length of the hypotenuse:
26
300
What is the difference between topography and geology?
topography studies the physical surface of the land, whereas geology studies what's underneath it/what makes it up
300
How does volume help geologists?
help geologists determine how fast they are eroding, and also help in engineering activities like mining!
400
What's the difference between area and surface area?
Area is 2D (meaning there are only 2 dimensions: length and height)
Surface area is 3D (meaning there are 3 dimensions: length, height, and width)

How would you find the volume of both marbles combined? 
1. Find initial volume of water
2. Find final volume of water
3. Calculate (Final - Initial)

what are isolines/contour lines?
they represent different elevations on a map
400
Why is trigonometry useful for geologists?
helps them find the distance between two points
