  1. Introduction to Earth Science

  2. Scientific Instruments ruler graduated cylinder scale ruler stop watch

  3. Formulas density: rate of change:

  4. Accuracy What does it mean if you are asked to record your answer: a. to the nearest tenth one decimal place Example: 0.1 b. to the nearest hundredth two decimal places Example: 0.01 • to the nearest thousandth three decimal places Example: 0.001

  5. ALL SOLUTIONS MUST BE IN ESA FORMAT!!! • E: equation • S: substitution • A: answer ** Always use proper UNITS**

  6. Metric Conversion (base 10) K H D b d c m Kilo Hecto Deka base deci centi milli - grams - liters - meters

  7. Graphical Relationships Direct Relationship: increases As one variable increases, the other __________________.

  8. Graphical Relationships Examples

  9. Graphical Relationships Indirect (Inverse) Relationship: decreases As one variable increases, the other __________________

  10. Graphical Relationships Examples

  11. Graphical Relationships Cyclic Relationship: As one variable increases, the other changes in a predictable pattern

  12. Graphical Relationships Examples

  13. Graphical Relationships No Relationship: stays the same As one variable increases, the other __________________

  14. Graphical Relationships Examples

  15. Graphical Relationships in Words State in words the relationship between relief and the average rate of erosion as shown in the graph. As relief increases, the average rate of erosion increases

  16. Graphical Relationships in Words State in words the relationship between air temperature and relative humidity. As the air temperature increases, the relative humidity decreases
