25 Questions

1. Magnitude (1-10)

2. mostly caused by the moon (partially sun)
-Moon's gravitational pull on earth causes the water on the surface to move
-Cyclic (pattern, predictable)
On Long island there is a semi-diurnal tidal pattern
-(High tides are 12 hours apart and low tides are 12 hours apart)
-2 high and 2 low tides every 24 hours

3. HARDNESS- the softer the mineral the faster the weathering/ the harder the mineral the slower the weathering
ACID- the minerals ability to react with an acid

4. Geology, Astronomy, Meteorology, Oceanography

5.
When the independant variable goes up, the direct variable goes up

6. The way an object breaks

7.

8. Running water, glaciers, wind and waves
Humans have moved more sediment that all 4 agents combines

9. Earths crust is made up of about 12 major and 7 minor plates
-plates move in relation to one another
Earthquakes, volcanos and mountain building all occur on plate boundaries

10. Fully Lit

11. When the concentration of any substance reaches a level that adversely (Negatively) affects plants, animals, humans, or the environment

12.
Made up of more than 1 mineral

13. Liquid
-Iron and Nickel

14.
When the sun casts a shadow of the earth onto the moon
-L-SEM
*Must happen during a full moon

15.
-no longer horizontal
-crustal movement

16.
side view

17.
Flow the opposite way the lines are pointing; Flow towards ocean; Flow from high to low

18. soil that forms in place over a long period of weathering
(Particles in the soil are the same as the underlying rock)

19.

20. elongated hills

21. Boundary where 2 different materials/ systems meet of interact
-Change happens here
-energy is exchanged

22. the rigid outer shell of the earth (Crust)
Types: Oceanic/Continental

Continental
-Less Dense (2.7 g/cm^3)
-Thicker
-Made of mostly granite

Oceanic
-More Dense (3.0 g/cm^3)
-Thinner
-Made of mostly basalt

23. ...

24. Elements-> Minerals-> Rocks
1. Naturally Occurring
2. Inorganic-> Not from once living material
3. Crystalline Solid

(Water when frozen is a mineral)
Exception- Coal-> It is organic

25.
-breaking and shifting of crust relative to eachother
