1. Bell Work
Draw a diagram of the Rock Cycle and label the types of rocks and processes that drive the rock Cycle.

2. I can identify how the earth is affected by long- term and short- term geological cycles and the influence of man.
Objectives

3. Mineral Identification
SPI
Use a table of physical properties to classify minerals.
Classifying Minerals

4. Color
Not the best way to identify a mineral because the same mineral can come in a variety of colors or different minerals can also be the same color
Luster
the way a surface reflects light (metallic, pearly, waxy, etc.)
Streak
the color of the powder that a mineral leaves behind
Cleavage/Fracture
The different ways a mineral can break (smooth/flat or rough/jagged)
Hardness
a mineral’s resistance to being scratched (Mohs Hardness Scale 1 (soft: Talc)-10 (hardest: Diamond)
Density
the ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume of the substance; the measure of how much matter (mass) is in a given amount of space (volume)
Special Properties
Special characteristics of a mineral (fluorescence, odor, magnetism)

5. The chart shows the properties of some minerals
The chart shows the properties of some minerals. A sample of a mineral is red and has a white streak. Based on the chart, which type of mineral is the sample? A Sulfur B Serpentine C Opal D Hematite

6. Da Rock Cycle
SPI
Identify the major processes that drive the rock cycle.
SPI
Label a diagram that depicts the three different rock types.
Types of Rocks and The Rock Cycle

7. Magma Sediment Igneous Formed when lava cools and hardens Sedimentary
Formed when sediment compacts and cements together
Metamorphic
Forms when heat and pressure are applied to the other types of rock.
Magma
Melted Rock
Sediment
Small pieces of all three types of rock that will be compacted together into sedimentary rock.

8. Processes Melting: Cooling and Hardening:
Under extreme heat, rocks can melt into magma
Cooling and Hardening:
Magma will cool and harden into igneous rocks
Weathering, Erosion, & Deposition:
Weathering breaks down the rocks
Erosion carries the sediments away
Deposition drops the sediments (like it’s hot!)
Compaction and Cementation:
Sediments create layers and over time these layers are compacted and cemented together
Heat and Pressure:
Under extreme heat and pressure rocks can change form (metamorphism)
Processes

9. Time 1 shows a rock underground
Time 1 shows a rock underground. Time 2 shows the rock exposed at the surface many years later. What is the term for the process that exposed the rock at the surface? A cementation B erosion C transportation D deposition

10. As a riverbank erodes away, sand and mud are transported downstream and settle at the bottom of a lake. Over time, what type of rock is most likely formed at the bottom of the lake? A igneous B lunar C metamorphic D sedimentary

11. Draw and describe three types of tectonic plate boundaries.
Bell Work
Draw and describe three types of tectonic plate boundaries.

12. Earth’s Layers
SPI
Differentiate among the characteristics of the earth’s three layers.
Earth's Layers

13. Crust Mantle Outer Core Inner Core
outermost layer of Earth; thinnest layer (1% of Earth's mass); two types of crust: continental and oceanic crust
Mantle
thickest layer of Earth between the crust and core (67% of Earth's mass); solid rock that flows (silly putty rock- convection currents)
Outer Core
liquid iron and nickel
Inner Core
Solid iron and nickel

14. Physical Layers Chemical Layers
Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Mesosphere, Core
Chemical Layers
Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core

15. The diagram below shows the layers of Earth
The diagram below shows the layers of Earth. What makes up most of Layer 3? A liquid water B molten rock C hydrogen and helium gas D liquid iron and nickel

16. The diagram shows a divergent plate boundary
The diagram shows a divergent plate boundary. Which of these will most likely happen because the lithospheric plates move away from each other? A New sea floor forms. B Tides become higher. C Winds become stronger. D Water moves to higher latitudes.

17. Which of these formed the Appalachian Mountains
Which of these formed the Appalachian Mountains? A sea-floor spreading B continental plates colliding C river sediment deposition D frequent earthquake activity

18. Plate Tectonics
SPI
Recognize that lithospheric plates on the scale of continents and oceans continually move at rates of centimeters per year.
SPI
Describe the relationship between plate movements and earthquakes, mountain building, volcanoes, and sea floor spreading.
Plate Tectonics

19. Tectonic Plates: 
parts of the lithosphere that move around on top of the asthenosphere (middle mantle) 
Convection Currents
The circular movement of hot rock in the asthenosphere that drives the rock cycle.
Types of boundaries: 
Transform- plates slide past each other causing earthquakes 
Divergent- plates move apart causing sea-floor spreading and volcanoes 
Convergent- plates collide causing mountains and volcanoes 

20. The map shows the motion of a tectonic plate that includes the country of India. Which is the best approximation of the distance this plate moves every year? A less than one millimeter B a few centimeters C several meters D more than one kilometer

21. Geologists placed posts on opposite sides of divergent plates to determine the rate of plate movement. How far apart will the posts most likely have moved after 10 years? A 50 centimeters B 5 meters C 50 meters D 5 kilometers

22. Earth’s Resources
SPI Analyze and evaluate the impact of man’s use of earth’s land, water, and atmospheric resources.
Fossil Fuels and Natural Resources

23. Renewable
Resources that can be renewed or used again in our life time (fresh water, solar power, trees, etc.)
Non-Renewable
Resources that cannot be renewed or used again in our life time; once it is used, it is gone and will take hundreds, upon thousands of years to renew (fossil fuels, like coal, oil, and natural gas)

24. As the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere becomes depleted, skin damage can occur from exposure to high levels of ultraviolet (UV) rays. Which human activity has contributed to the breakdown of the ozone layer? A construction of wind turbines to generate electricity B introduction of invasive plant species into local ecosystems C construction of dams for hydroelectric power D release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the atmosphere

25. When water vapor, methane, and carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere, trapped heat is reradiated back to Earth. Which of these will most likely occur when heat is reradiated back to Earth? A Acid precipitation will form. B Soil contamination will increase. C Surface temperatures will increase globally. D The ozone will become thinner and break down.
