8-3 Unit Test Study Guide

MONDAY HOMEWORK:

  1. Testing the hypothesis is the same as performing an _____Experiment______.

Use the following graph below to answer the following questions.

/
  1. The independent variable is always found on what axis?x-axis
  2. What is the independent variable?Periodical Exam
  3. The dependent variable is found on what axis?Y-axis
  4. What is the dependent variable?Marks
  5. According to the trends of the month, what month and year will they be tested next? April-02
  6. What scale is the graph going by?10

  1. When repeating an experiment, you should always do what?Repeat or do the same procedures again
  2. What instrument or instruments do you use to find the volume?Graduated cylinder or Beaker
  3. What is the thickest Earth layer?Mantle
  4. What is the thinnest Earth Layer?Crust
  5. Which Earth layer is the only liquid layer?Outer Core
  6. Which Earth layer deals with the magnetic field?Outer Core
  7. Name the 3 Earth layers that are completely solids.Inner Core, Crust, and Lithosphere
  8. Name the 3 Earth layers that are not complete or true solids. Mantle, Asthenosphere, and Outer Core

TUESDAY HOMEWORK

  1. Name the 3 seismic waves in the order they leave the focus.Primary wave, Secondary wave, Surface Wave
  2. Secondary or S-waves always ______STOPS______at the outer core. Why? BECAUSE THEY ONLY TRAVEL THROUGH SOLIDS
  3. Complete the following chart Below.

Seismic Wave / Position / Speed / Movement / State of Matter it can Travel Through
Primary Wave / 1ST / FASTEST / SIDE TO SIDE/BACK AND FORTH / ALL
Secondary Wave / 2ND / SLOWER / UP AND DOWN / ONLY SOLIDS
Surface Wave / 3RD / SLOWEST / BOTH/SWAYS / ALL

Use the illustration to complete the following questions.

/
  1. Whenever you see 3 circles, this process is known as what?TRIANGULATION
  2. This process is used to locate the what?EPICENTER
  3. Do scientist use multiple seismograph stations during this process to locate the epicenter ON or IN the circles?
  4. What is located right above the focus?EPICENTER

  1. Complete the Chart below

Type of Rock / Where is it Found? / Processes / Other Important Facts
Igneous Rock / AROUND VOLCANOES / COOLING, MELTING, AND CRYSTALIZATION / INSTRUSIVE AND EXTRUSIVE
Sedimentary Rock / NEAR BODIES OF WATER / COMPACTION AND CEMENTATION / CONTAINS FOSSILS AND HAVE LAYERS IN MOUNTAINS
Metamorphic Rock / BENEATH EARTH’S SURFACE / HEAT AND PRESSURE / FOLIATED (LAYERED) OR NON-FOLIATED
  1. What is the difference between extrusive and intrusive rocks? (give at least 3 differences)

Extrusive: forms from lava, makes small or no crystals, and cools quickly

Intrusive: forms from magma, makes large crystals, and cools slowly

  1. All rocks can go through what process and when they go through that process, they all are broken down into what? Weathering and Erosion/Sediments
  2. All rocks are made up of what?Minerals
  3. What are fossil fuels made from? Remains of living things/ Dead plants and animals

Name the 3 types of fossil fuels.Coal, Petroleum Oil, and Natural gas

  1. What is the main reason humans use fossil fuels? To burn for energy
  2. Which crust is more dense and which crust is less dense? Which one sinks during subduction zone and why?More Dense: Oceanic Crust Less Dense: Continental

Oceanic sinks during the subduction zone because it is more dense and the continental crust is less dense.

  1. Which crust is the oldest crust? Continental Crust Why crust is the youngest crust and why? Oceanic crust is the youngest because the crust is being recycled as it moves in the mantle by the convention currents.

WEDNESDAY HOMEWORK: MAKE SURE YOU STUDY YOUR ENTIRE STUDY GUIDE/TEST IS TOMORROW!!!!

  1. Create a T-Chart explaining the differences between renewable and nonrenewable resources. Include examples.

RENEWABLE / NONREWABLE
RESOURCES THAT CAN BE RENEWED AND REPLACED / RESOURCES THAT CAN NOT BE RENEWED OR REPLACED
ANIMALS, WATER, WIND, SOIL, SUN (SOLAR), TREES / FOSSIL FUELS (OIL, NATURAL GAS, AND COAL) AND DIAMONDS
  1. Draw a mountain (before). Now draw how a mountain would look if a volcano erupted (after). Label the parts to the volcano as well.
  1. Topographic maps uses what kind of lines. CONTOUR LINES
  2. Topographic maps uses those lines to show what? ELEVATIONS
  3. The bolded or numbered lines are known as what? INDEX CONTOURS
  4. What has happened when you see negative signs or hachures on a topographic map? A DEPRESSION HAS OCCURRED SUCH AS A VOLCANO ERUPTIING
  1. Find the following contour intervals.

Contour Interval:100/5 = 20 / Contour Interval:100/5 = 20 / Contour Interval:100/5 = 20
  1. Draw a topographic map and locate the peak.
  1. What is the difference between a gentle slope and a steep slope? Draw or give an illustration of the difference as well. A STEEP SLOPE CONTOUR LINES ARE CLOSER TOGETHER AND A GENTLE SLOPE CONTOUR LINES ARE FAR APART.
