Transcript of Earth science review 2012

  • 1. Earth Science ReviewExam Friday June 15th 12 pm Large GymWill you be ready or will I see you inSeptember?? again

2. Things to bring!!! Pen 2 sharpened pencils Calculator Your Brain! 3. Things not to Bring!!!! Cell Phones ipods, hpods, mp3 players etc Bad attitudes Laziness 4. Review Classes Sign-up with Mr. D!!! Only come if you are prepared to work! 5. Study Vacation doesnt start until after exams 20 to 30 minutes a night Past Exams with helpful hints Important Diagrams to Pass Earth ScienceRegents 6. Facts to Remember Glaciers create U-shaped valleys 7. Rivers= V-shaped valleys 8. When the sun is highest in the sky,your shadow is shortest (noon/June 21st) 9. Solar Eclipse occurs when moon blocks out the sun as seen from Earth (Newmoon phase) 10. Water has a high Specific Heat Which means it takes a long time and energyto increase temperature, but it also takes along time to cool down 11. Waters Specific Heat is the reason why Marine Climate (AREAS BY LARGE BODIES OFWATER) Are cooler in the summer and warmer in thewinter Small temperature range 12. Lunar Eclipse May happen during the full moon phase whenthe Earth casts a shadow on the moon 13. Be Prepared, Dont let the EarthScience Exam be a Heart Breaker! Use the reference Tables : again and again andagain and again (for ex. Rock Cycle) 14. High Pressure Systems Spin Clockwise and out from center/ sinkingair Clear, cool weather No rain or precipitation 15. Dirt is a dirty word!! Soil takes a long time to develop, however soilis created quicker in warm humid climatesSoil is made oforganic materials(humus) and piecesof weathered rock 16. Air Pressure decreases as altitudeincreases! 17. Low Pressure Systems Spin Counterclockwise and in towards center Storms/Bad weather rain / Rising AirmT 18. The Closer air temp. is to dewpoint. Temp. the greater the chance for rain High humidity as well 76Convert air pressure lessthan 500 add a 10 infront more than 500 adda 9 in front, and lastnumber is made a 19. Angle of Insolation & SeasonsNYS longest durationof Insolation on June21st (summer Solstice)Shortest Dec 21st(winter solstice)12 hrs. of day & nighton March 21st & Sept21st (equinox) 20. Earthquakes & Volcanoes occur at Plate BoundariesSan Andres FaultRing of Fire 21. Metamorphism (heat and/or pressure) As Heat & pressure are increased the rock will changeShaleSlate PhylliteSchistchanges to changes changeschanges toSlateto Phyllite to SchistGneiss If life gives you schist, make gneiss of it! 22. Outside Curve Faster (erosion)Inside Curve Slower (deposition)Cutbank Sandbar erosional feature depositional feature 23. Cold Dry Air Comes From Canada(Just like Justin Bieber)cP continental PolarResponsiblefor cold fronts 24. Convergent Boundary ocean crust(dense) meets continental (less dense) VolcanoesOcean TrenchMeltingSubduction 25. Convection Currents in the Upper Mantle cause Plate MovementRedlines new crust Yellow lines older crustMidoceanRidge 26. Contour Lines Highest Possible Elevation of x = 69When close together contour linesindicates a steep slope When far apart, contour lines indicate a gentle slope The of profile hills are rounded off, but do not touch the next contour line 27. Water Expands When it FreezesResponsible for a lot of weathering in cold moistclimate like NYS (potholes) 28. Planetary Winds Belts Winds do not move straight because of the Coriolis Effect NYS is affectedDryby the SouthLow Pressure West winds. Thats why our Wet weather usually moves in that direction. 29. Horizontal Sorting larger particles getdeposited first, then smaller ones when a stream meets a lake or ocean 30. Ocean TidesSpringTides (reallyhigh andlow tides)Neap Tides(not sohigh andlow tides) 31. Internal Arrangement of a mineralsatoms are responsible for hardness,cleavage and streak. 32. The altitude of Polaris above thehorizon equals degrees North latitude! 33. GroundwaterZone of Aeration pore spaces betweenparticles are filled w/airZone of Saturation pore spaces are filled Water Tablewith waterCapillarity-when watergoes up (smallparticles)l 34. Mid-Atlantic Ridge Divergent Boundary 35. Time Zones 15 Degrees of LongitudeAdd 1 hr. forSubtract 1 hr.every 15 for every 15degrees East degrees West 36. Latitude and LongitudeB= 25 S 55 W D= 60 N 60 E 37. Latitude Here = 66.5 Degrees North 38. Summer Solstice June 21st- N.Hemisphere Tilted Towards SunDirect Rays @23.5 N Tropicof Cancer 39. Suns Path Across the SkySummerPathFall / Spring PathWinter Path 40.

Precambrain Time is as old school asRob Base 88% of Earths 4.6 Billion yearExistance Precambrian Time Humans on Earth 44. Incoming InsolationInfraredin the form short-radiation wave Ultravioletlong waves andradiation (strong & weakergets through) 45. Seasons are opposite in SouthernHemisphereWinter in S.Hemisphere Summer in S. Hemisphere 46. Weather InstrumentsPsychrometer - humidityBarometer AirPressureThermometer - temperatureAnemometer windspeed 47. Glaciers leave behind unsorted sediments (mixture of sizes) 48. Close isobars on weather indicate fast wind speedWindy 49. Revolution vs. Rotation15 degrees per hour1 degree perday 50. More Water in Stream means fasterVelocity (speed) 51. Rivers flow opposite way contour linesbend Stream flows in a SE direction here 52. Remember these facts and I have agood feeling that you can pass! 53. Convection cells in Asthenosphere Cause the Movement of Plate Tectonics 54. Ocean Crust is Mafic & Continental Crust is Felsic Mafic Basalt Felsic Granite 55. Redshift = Expanding Universe 56. Gases from Volcanoes Made up theEarths 1st Atmosphere Poisonous and smelly (fart) 57. Then simple ocean livingorganisms(bacteria) released oxygen intoatmosphere over billions of years 58. Dark, rough surfaces absorb insolationfast while light, smooth surfacesreflect insolation 59. Adirondack Mountains are made of metamorphic rocks Heat andpressure fromwhenN. AmericaCrashed intoAfrica (long ago) 60. During Heavy Rains Water does notinfiltrate ground, butbecomes runoff 61. Impermeable Surfaces Like roads,do not allow waterto soak inClay soils are alsoimpermeable 62. Index Fossils Lived everywhere/short time 63. SeabreezeLOW High 64. Hey Look, at one time places like NYSwere close to equator Thats why we have limestone & coral fossils inNYS PA has coal 65. Clouds form by rising air cooling & condensing Dewpoint Temp.is reached 66. Listen up!!Dont be worthless and weak!!!You need tobeprepared!Knowing aboutrocks is cool!Especially cobble! 67. Hey, I didnt write the exam. Actually I dont like the exam, but WE HAVETO DEAL WITH IT So these test taking tips will help 68. Exam Format Part A and B1 Multiple Choice Demonstrate understanding of scientific conceptsand principles Part B2 Constructed Response Student provides the answer to the question Part C Extended Constructed Response Similar to Part B2 but requires more student timeand effort 69. Tips for Multiple Choice Questions Read the question and try to answer beforelooking at the choices 70. Tips for Multiple Choice Questions Read the question and try to answer beforelooking at the choices 71. Tips for Multiple Choice Questions Ask yourself if the ESRTs can be used Make sure you know what is in the ESRTs 72. Tips for Multiple Choice QuestionsDry Bulb: 2 CWet Bulb: -1 CDifference: 3Answer: 51% 73. Tips for Multiple Choice Questions Ask your yourself if the ESRTs can be used Make sure you know what is in the ESRTs 74. Tips for Multiple Choice Questions Eliminate obvious distracters 75. Tips for Multiple Choice Questions Just because a choice may have some truth, itdoes not mean that it answers the question 76. Tips for Multiple Choice QuestionsAlso Read all choices before answering aquestion Skip over hard questions for later Information in one part of the test may behelpful in other parts Do not leave any answers blank -- if all elsefails, guess 77. Constructed Response Questions Contains multiple parts and/or steps Requires you to develop your own response Included on the exam to: assess your understanding rather than yourmemorization demonstrate your ability to solve problems andintegrate data display your knowledge of skills such as graphing,calculating, and drawing isolines and profiles 78. Tips for Constructed Response Questions Know what will be expected of you Always include units in your answers Use your answer sheet for clues on how toanswer questions 79. Constructed Response Practice 1 80. Constructed Response Practice 1BAC 81. Constructed Response Practice 1The water velocity decreases; orThe particles slow down and are deposited 82. Constructed Response Practice 2 83. Constructed Response Practice 2 84. Constructed Response Practice 2 1009.6 mT rain 85. Earth Science Reference Tables Provided for all students to use during thewritten exam Be familiar with the ESRTs prior to exam Some questions require the use of theESRTs, while for other questions, theESRTs may be helpful Not all questions will prompt you to use theESRTs 86. Dont Stress Mr. D out and Listen!!! 87. Remember! Exam Friday June 15th 12pm (Be on Time) School does not end until you pass the exam Large Gym 88. Pass or FailIts up to you! ? Pass FailIts not magic, you must beprepared and ready 89. Be Ready! Study a little bit each day right up to exam 90.
