HOMEWORK
Mineral Identification
SPI 0707.7.1
Use a table of physical properties to classify minerals.
•Classifying 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
Da Rock Cycle
SPI 0707.7.3
Identify the major processes that drive the rock cycle.
SPI 0707.7.2
Label a diagram that depicts the three different rock types.
•The Rock Cycle
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
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
Earth’s Layers
SPI 0707.7.4
Differentiate among the characteristics of the earth’s
three layers.
•
Video
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
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.
Which of these formed the Appalachian
Mountains?
A sea-floor spreading
B continental plates colliding
C river sediment deposition
D frequent earthquake activity
Plate Tectonics
SPI 0707.7.5
Recognize that lithospheric plates on the scale of continents and oceans
continually move at rates of centimeters per year.
SPI 0707.7.6
Describe the relationship between plate movements and earthquakes,
mountain building, volcanoes, and sea floor spreading.
• Video
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
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
Earth’s Resources
SPI 0707.7.7 Analyze and evaluate the impact of
man’s use of earth’s land, water, and atmospheric
resources.
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
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.
