Introduction 2 Earth Science
Minerals
Rocks
Structure of Earth
Weathering, Erosion, & Soil
100
Systematic study of creation using methods based on observation and experiments.
What is the definition of Science?
100
Living things or the remains of living things.
What does not make up an inorganic substance?
100
Rocks formed from cooled and hardened magma or lava.
What is an igneous rock?
100
The inner core is the solid center of Earth made of iron- nickel alloy. The outer is the liquid layer of Earth's core that surrounds the inner core.
What are the layers of Earth's core?
100
The breaking down of rocks by physical processes.
What is mechanical weathering?
200
1- Identify/ define the problem 2- Make Hypothesis 3- Experiment, controlling variables 4- Make observations and record results 5- Make inferences and conclusions 6- Apply findings
What is the scientific method?
200
Silicate minerals contain silicon and oxygen, non-silicate have neither.
What is the difference between silicate and non-silicate minerals?
200
Rocks formed from sediments that have been compacted and cemented together.
What is a sedimentary rock?
200
The portion of the Earth's interior that extends from the bottom of the crust to the outer layer.
What is the mantle?
200
The breaking down of rocks by chemical processes.
What is chemical weathering?
300
The number 10
What is the metric system based on?
300
Color, luster, hardness, streak, cleavage, & fracture.
What are properties of minerals?
300
Rocks formed when the structure and constitution of existing rocks change due to heat, pressure, and/or chemical reactions.
What is a metamorphic rock?
300
Continental and Oceanic.
What are the two types of crust?
300
landslides, slump, mudflow, soli creep, & earthflow.
What are some examples of mass wasting?
400
Touch- think before touching chemicals Smell- fan the substance with you're hand to smell it Taste- never taste a chemical or solution unless instructed to
What are the 3 main rules of laboratory safety?
400
Fluorescence, phosphorescence, refraction, double refraction, & radioactivity.
What are some properties of minerals?
400
When one rock type changes into another.
What is the rock cycle?
400
Asthenosphere- layer of the upper mantle composed of low density rock that is semi-plastic. Lithosphere- the outermost, rigid layer of Earth.
lWhat are the layers of the mantle?
400
Wearing down of rock surfaces by other rocks or sand.
What is abrasion?
500
A representation, usually of a flat surface, of a portion of land, water, or sky.
What is a map?
500
Iron goods, tin, alloys, explosives, matches, paint, & rubber.
What are some uses of minerals?
500
The process of change in the structure and constitution of a rock.
What is metamorphism?
500
Boundary between mantle and Crust.
What is the Moho?
500
preserved evidence of an organism that lived in the past.
What is a fossil?
