It is the type of map projection seen
here.
Gnomonic Projection Map

that layers various maps to monitor
various changes in an area.

Describe the effect logging
(deforestation) may have on 4 of
Earth’s spheres.

How can data from VLBI
(Very Long Baseline Interferometry)
be used in mapmaking today?
• Small changes in telescope
positions on Earth allows us
to monitor plate motion,
predict EQ

Rock Stars:
Compare and contrast the
formation of intrusive and
extrusive igneous rocks.
Intrusive= magma hardens
beneath Earth’s
surface
Extrusive= lava hardens
(above Earth’s surface)
200
Rock Stars:
A rock has a porphyritic texture.
What can you conclude about the
rock?
Very different sized minerals
minerals crystallize at different
temperatures or at different rates
300
Rock Stars:
Apply what you know about cooling
rates to explain differences in crystal
sizes.
Slow cooling rates large, well-formed crystals
Fast cooling rates small crystals that might or
might not be well formed.
Rock Stars:
400
Analyze the environmental conditions to
explain why most chemical sedimentary
rocks form mainly in areas that have high
evaporation rates.
-Evaporation—continuously
removes freshwater from the
body of water
-Helps to maintain high
concentrations of minerals in the
remaining water
Minerals precipitate out to
form chemical sed. rock!
500
Rock Stars:
Decide which of the following
materials are not minerals, and
explain why: petroleum, wood, coal,
steel, concrete, glass.
•

•
Petroleum= neither solid nor inorganic [not]
Wood & Coal= organic [not]
Steel & Concrete=don’t occur naturally [not]
Glass (natural or synthetic)= doesn’t have
crystalline structure [not]

List the 3 types of convergent plate
boundary interactions.
1. Cont/Cont.
2. Cont./Oce.
3. Oce./Oce.

Wegener had plenty of evidence to
support his theory of continental
drift. Why was his theory not widely
accepted at that time?
He couldn’t explain how or why the continents
moved. The technology needed to
discover seafloor spreading
and convection currents didn’t
exist at that time.

Describe how the Hawaiian islands
were formed/are forming.
Hot spot is stationary and
mantle plume  magma
released in stream up to crust.
Volcano/volcanic island forms
and moves with plate. As plate
moves, stream of magma
breaks and new
volcano/volcanic island forms in
an arc of islands as magma
cools/hardens.

Don’t Crack Under Pressure
Why is it incorrect to refer to a
tsunami as a tidal wave?
Tsunami is caused by sudden
displacement in ocean floor and
increases volume of water moving
ashore but not necessarily in
height.

MOON/SUN LIKE TYPICAL
OCEAN WAVES

Name the type of fault shown here
Normal Fault

Don’t Crack Under Pressure
Arrange the 3 types of waves in order from slowest
to fastest
AND
from least destructive to most destructive
Slow  Fast
Surface, S, P
Least  Most Destructive
P, S, Surface

Don’t Crack Under Pressure
Why don’t scientists typically use the
Richter Scale anymore?
Richter used locally and can only
measure EQ between 3.0-7.0; not
accurate enough & requires Richter
device.
500
Don’t Crack Under Pressure
How do earthquakes help scientists
learn more about Earth’s core
composition?
P waves:
can travel through core but
deflectedchange in type of matter
S waves:
can’t travel through core (outer/liquid)
transverse & can’t travel through liquid

Mixed Bag Finale: When at a
baseball game, you may see
people holding up this type of
sign. What does it mean?
K=strikeout while
