Geology Unit Test----- 
    Everything from September - December

Landforms- What are they? What types are there?
  Types of mountains- up-warped, folded, fault-block
  Plains and plateaus- what do they look like?
  Density-  the formula (D=m/v)
  Water displacement- When you drop a rock or mineral into a graduated cylinder and see
         How much volume the mineral has
  Valleys- what do they look like?
  Peaks- What do they look like?
  Faults are cracks in the earth
  The crust is also called the lithosphere
  Location of large mountain ranges like the Himilayas or Rocky Mountains& the Andes
  Clues like climate clues that lead to the theory of continental drift or plate tectonics
  Future locations of plate tectonics- like Africa
  The elevation of a mountain is based upon 0 being sea level
  Erosion agents (which is fastest?)
  How volcanoes actually create lava which really is creating new rock.
  The layers of the Earth, Inner core, outer core, mantle, crust and what is inside each.
  What a gem is
  The rock cycle (how one rock can turn into another) Know the chart!!!!!!
  Types of igneous (intrusive & extrusive) and how to differentiate.
Identification of minerals (mohs scale, crystals, luster, cleavage, fracture)
Fossils and sedimentary rocks
Crystals
What is soil?
Weathering (what is it?)
Oxidation
Index fossils and relative dating
Imprint fossils
Wegener and his theory
Pangaea
How Earthquakes occur
Factors that prove that the Earth is ever changing
