  1. End of the Year Assessment Review

  2. 4 branches of Earth Systems • Astronomy • Meterology • Geology • Oceanography

  3. What is the order of objects in the universe according to their size? • Largest  Smallest • Universe • Galaxy • Solar System • Star • Planet (ex: Earth) • Moon • Comet

  4. What is the galaxy we live in? • Milky Way

  5. How many stars are in our solar system? • 1 (our sun)

  6. What are the 3 main types of rock classification? • Igneous • Sedimentary • Metamorphic

  7. These (rocks) classifications are based on…… • How they were formed • Heat • Pressure • Cooling • Weathering • Erosion • Compaction • Think of the rock cycle we looked at

  8. How do rocks help explain the Earth’s history? • Shows the changes in the Earth’s atmosphere and different events that occurred on the Earth • Fossil  explain what creatures were present on the Earth • Rock types showed that certain continents may have been together

  9. 3 layers of the Earth • Outermost  Inner Layer • Crust • Mantle • Core

  10. The 3 layers based upon….. • Composition • What they are made up of

  11. 5 layers of the Earth • Outermost  Innermost • Lithosphere • Asthenosphere • Mesosphere • Outer Core • Inner Core

  12. The 5 layers are based on their….. • Physical characteristics

  13. The outermost layer is broken into…. • Plates

  14. 3 types of plate boundaries • Transform • Divergent • Convergent

  15. What are the physical features formed at each boundary? • Transform • faults • Divergent • Ridges • Convergent • Trenches • Mountains/Volcanoes

  16. What are convection currents and what causes them? • They are the heating and cooling of material. • Caused by: • A heat source

  17. 3 examples of where convection currents can be found • Asthenosphere • Ocean/ water • Air

  18. What is the percentage of gases in the Earth’s atmosphere? • Nitrogen  78% • Oxygen  21 % • Other  about 1 %

  19. What causes the moon to appear in different phases throughout the month? • Position of the Earth & sun

  20. What causes the seasons? • TILT of the Earth

  21. Hurricanes vs. Tornadoes Hurricanes Tornadoes Size: smaller area Speed: Gusts: 65- over 200 mph Duration: usually minutes Intensity: hail & wind damage • Size: Larger area covered • Speed: Sustained: 74- over 155 mph • Duration: over days • Intensity: causes flooding & wind damage
