This document contains a review of earth science vocabulary terms and concepts for a student named Rabbi Goldberg. It includes 15 vocabulary terms with blank spaces for definitions. It also includes 9 sections reviewing various topics: the crust, evidence of crustal changes, earthquake waves, measuring earthquake strength, tsunamis, and using graphs to solve earthquake-related problems. It provides 6 examples of graph-based problems and their step-by-step solutions. The goal is to help the student learn key earth science concepts and practice using graphs to analyze earthquake data.
The document discusses evidence of crustal movement on Earth including erosion, mountain building, and changes in sedimentary rock layers and positions of benchmarks over time. It also summarizes how earthquakes are caused by movement of tectonic plates or along faults, and how they are measured on different scales based on observed effects and seismic wave readings. Key parts of earthquakes are identified as the focus, epicenter, and different seismic wave types. The layers of Earth's interior are outlined as having an inner core, outer core, Moho discontinuity, mantle, and crust of varying thicknesses and compositions.
The document summarizes evidence that supports the theory of sea floor spreading and plate tectonics. During World War II, sonar technology was used to extensively map the ocean floor. This mapping revealed an underwater mountain range that circles the globe, known as the mid-ocean ridge. At this ridge, molten material erupts from the ocean floor and pushes older material outward. The discovery provides evidence that the sea floor is actively spreading, supporting Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift. Further evidence includes pillow lava formations only found at ridges and dating of rocks showing the oldest ocean crust is only 200 million years old near the continents.
The crust is the solid outer layer of the Earth that is broken into pieces called tectonic plates. These plates are constantly moving due to convection currents in the mantle below. This movement results in crustal deformation over time, as evidenced by bent and displaced rock strata and fossils. Precise measurements of benchmarks also show horizontal and vertical displacement of the Earth's surface over decades and centuries. Most crustal activity like earthquakes and volcanoes occurs along plate boundaries, especially around the Pacific Ocean. During an earthquake, underground movement along a fault at the focus causes the ground to shake at the epicenter.
This document provides a review of minerals, rocks, and the processes involved in their formation. It defines key terms like monomineralic, polymineralic, igneous, and sedimentary rocks. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Their texture depends on the cooling rate - slow cooling leads to large crystals and coarse texture, while rapid cooling results in small crystals and fine texture. Sedimentary rocks form through the compaction and cementation of sediments transported by wind, water, or glaciers. They can also form through chemical or biological processes.
Ms. Wilson's 6th grade science class is learning about the layers of the Earth, including the crust, mantle, and core. They are also learning about related concepts like density, seismic waves, and convection. The document defines key terms and provides a brief overview of each layer of the Earth and some important Earth science concepts.
This document summarizes various bodies of water and landforms. It describes the four main oceans, how ocean currents affect climate, and details about lakes, rivers and streams. It also explains the hydrologic cycle of water evaporating and condensing, drainage basins, water tables, and various landforms like continental shelves that can be found on land and in the ocean.
Plate tectonics involves the movement of tectonic plates via divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries. The Earth's crust is divided into these tectonic plates which move apart from each other at divergent boundaries, collide at convergent boundaries, or grind past each other at transform boundaries. These plate movements cause volcanic activity and earthquakes, and create geological features such as mid-ocean ridges, trenches, and mountains.

The document discusses dynamics of the Earth including evidence of crustal motions such as uplift and erosion that create mountains and sedimentary layers. It explains how marine fossils found in high elevations provide evidence of crustal movement over time. Earthquakes are described as being caused by the movement of tectonic plates and release of stress that builds in rocks, sending seismic waves that can be used to locate an earthquake's epicenter. The layers of the Earth are also outlined, with the crust varying in thickness and composition in different regions.
The crust is the solid outer layer of the Earth that is broken into pieces called tectonic plates. These plates are constantly moving due to convection currents in the mantle below. This movement results in crustal deformation over time, as evidenced by bent and displaced rock strata and fossils. Precise measurements of benchmarks also show horizontal and vertical displacement of the Earth's surface over decades and centuries. Most crustal activity like earthquakes and volcanoes occurs along plate boundaries, usually near oceans. During an earthquake, rock strata experience sudden movement at the focus, while the epicenter is the point on the surface directly above.
1. Earthquakes produce two main types of waves - P waves and S waves. P waves travel faster but S waves can do more damage because they move the earth perpendicularly, producing larger amplitudes.
2. Seismic waves are travelling waves that have crests and troughs that move through the medium and dampen over distance.
3. A physics building swayed violently and collapsed during an earthquake, indicating it had low intrinsic damping. Future buildings could add shock absorbers to increase damping and better absorb seismic waves.
The document provides information about Earth's early history and the geological processes used to determine the sequence of events. It discusses how the early Earth had volcanic eruptions that released gases into the atmosphere. Over millions of years, oxygen produced by photosynthesis accumulated in the atmosphere. Scientists use various geological dating methods like examining rock layers, fossils, and radioactive decay to construct a timeline of Earth's history and understand the relative and absolute ages of rocks. The geological time scale divides Earth's history into eons, eras, periods, and epochs.
Weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces called sediments through mechanical and chemical processes. Mechanical weathering is caused by physical forces like plants, animals, ice wedging, and changes in surface area. Chemical weathering occurs through natural acids in water and plant acids that change the mineral composition of rocks over thousands of years. The rate of weathering depends on climate and rock type, with more rapid weathering in wet, tropical climates. Soil forms as weathered rock fragments and organic matter accumulate, and its composition is influenced by climate, vegetation, relief, parent material, and time.
Weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces called sediments through mechanical and chemical processes. Mechanical weathering is caused by temperature changes, water, plants and animals, and ice wedging. Chemical weathering occurs more slowly as acid and oxygen react with minerals, breaking them down over thousands of years. The sediments and organic material from weathering form soil layers, with the darker top layer containing more nutrients. Soil type depends on climate, parent material such as rock type, and other factors like time and slope.

The document covers several lessons on earthquakes, including what causes them, how seismic waves are used to detect and locate earthquakes, and how the study of earthquake waves has helped scientists learn about the composition and structure of the Earth's interior. It discusses plate tectonics theory and the three main belts of earthquake activity associated with plate boundaries. The document also addresses magnitude scales, the different layers of the Earth, and how scientists have explored the interior using seismic waves despite only drilling a maximum of 8 km below the surface.
The document provides instructions for an activity to locate the epicenter of a hypothetical earthquake using triangulation. It includes:
1) Hypothetical seismic data from three stations including the difference in arrival times of P and S waves and the distance of each station from the epicenter.
2) A formula to compute the distance from each station using the time differences.
3) Steps to draw circles around each station and find their intersection, which indicates the epicenter location.
The document discusses principles of relative dating techniques and radioactive dating methods used to interpret geologic history. It explains five basic laws of relative dating including the law of superposition and cross-cutting relationships. Radioactive isotopes are used to provide absolute ages by measuring their decay over time. Examples include carbon-14 for dating recent samples under 50,000 years old, and potassium-argon or uranium-lead dating for older samples over 50,000 years. Geologists use these dating methods along with examining fossils and rock formations to construct the geologic time scale.

The document discusses dynamics of the Earth's crust and evidence of its motion over time. It provides examples of marine fossils found in high elevations as evidence of crustal uplift. Sedimentary layers deposited horizontally also indicate regions were once under water. Earthquakes provide direct evidence of crustal movement through effects like fault lines and changes in land elevation recorded after quakes.
Soil is formed through the weathering of rock and organic materials. It has distinct layers called horizons that vary in composition. The top layer, the A horizon, contains decayed organic matter and provides nutrients for plant growth. The lower B horizon contains materials leached from the A horizon. The lowest C horizon consists of unconsolidated rock materials. Soil type depends on climate, parent material, rock type, time, and slope, resulting in different soil compositions suited for various environments.
The document provides information about landscape development and different types of landscapes. It discusses how landscapes are shaped by both uplifting and leveling forces acting on the Earth's surface over long periods of time. Landscapes can be classified as mountains, plateaus, plains, and more. Factors like rock type, climate, and human activity all influence how landscapes develop and change over geological time.
1) The document discusses weathering, which is the breaking down of rocks due to conditions on the Earth's surface. It describes mechanical and chemical weathering.
2) Mechanical weathering is the physical breakdown of rocks without changing their chemical composition. It includes ice wedging, plant roots, and animal activity.
3) Chemical weathering changes the chemical makeup of rocks through oxidation and reactions with carbon dioxide, water, and acids from plants and soil. Over time it can dissolve and break down rocks.
Climate is the pattern of weather that occurs in an area over long periods of time and is determined by factors like latitude, proximity to large bodies of water, ocean currents, mountains, and urbanization. Climate affects the types of plants and animals that can survive in an area and influences human settlements. There are different climate classification systems, and organisms exhibit both physical and behavioral adaptations to survive their local climate. Climate is not constant and can change over both short and long periods due to factors like seasonal changes in sunlight, occasional events like El Niño, and long-term shifts caused by variations in solar radiation, changes in Earth's orbit and axis, and movement of tectonic plates. Human activities like burning fossil fuels, def

Archaeologists and anthropologists study prehistoric times through excavating artifacts and observing human cultures. Archaeologists have divided prehistory into the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age based on tools. Early human discoveries include Australopithecus, Homo Habilis, and Lucy. Neanderthals, Cro-Magnons, and cave paintings at Lascaux provide insights into Paleolithic nomadic hunter-gatherer societies. The Neolithic Era introduced agriculture, animal domestication, and settled villages. Early civilizations emerged in river valleys with cities, governments, jobs specialization, social classes, religions, and writing systems.
Weather is affected by temperature, humidity, air pressure, and wind. These factors are interrelated. A change in one can impact the others. Temperature and air pressure have an inverse relationship - higher temperatures mean lower air pressures as the air expands. Higher temperatures also mean higher humidity as warm air holds more water vapor. Relative humidity decreases with increasing temperature. Wind blows from high to low pressure as air moves to equalize differences. Global wind patterns are caused by uneven heating and pressure differences.

4. Humidity refers to the amount of moisture in the air as water vapor. Evaporation and condensation influence humidity levels, which affect cloud formation and precipitation. Humidity is measured
The document summarizes the history of Earth based on geological evidence. Scientists have determined that early Earth had a different atmosphere composed of gases from volcanic eruptions. Over millions of years, these gases and precipitation formed oceans. Green plants then produced oxygen through photosynthesis, changing the atmosphere. Scientists use various geological features like rock layers, fossils, and radioactive dating to determine the sequence of events in Earth's history and develop a geological timescale.
The document summarizes the key aspects of the human nervous system. It describes how the nervous system and endocrine system both play a role in homeostasis through secreting chemical messages, though the nervous system is much faster. It defines the main cell type, neurons, and describes the three types - sensory, inter, and motor neurons. It also outlines the main components of the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system. Finally, it briefly discusses some common malfunctions of the nervous system like cerebral palsy, meningitis, stroke, and polio.
The respiratory system consists of the passageways that allow air to flow into and out of the lungs. Air enters through the nose, where hairs and mucus trap pollutants, and passes through the pharynx and larynx into the trachea. The trachea branches into bronchi that lead to clusters of alveoli in the lungs. The alveoli are surrounded by capillaries and are the site of gas exchange, where oxygen diffuses into the blood and carbon dioxide diffuses out. The blood then transports these gases to and from tissues throughout the body. Breathing is controlled involuntarily by the medulla oblongata in response to carbon dioxide levels.
The document summarizes the key structures and functions of the respiratory system. It discusses how air passes through the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and bronchioles to reach the alveoli in the lungs. The alveoli are where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the air and blood through diffusion. Oxygen is then transported to cells by blood for cellular respiration to produce energy, while carbon dioxide is carried back to the lungs to be exhaled. Breathing is controlled by the diaphragm and rib muscles to inhale and exhale air, regulated by the medulla oblongata in response to carbon dioxide levels.
The document summarizes the male and female reproductive systems in humans. It discusses the key parts of each system including how sperm and eggs are produced. It also describes fertilization, prenatal development through each stage of pregnancy, and birth. The roles of hormones like estrogen and testosterone are explained. Factors that can impact prenatal development like nutrition, drugs, and infections are also covered at a high level.
Scientists organize living things into categories based on their similar structures. All organisms are made of cells, with simple ones like amoebas having just one cell while complex organisms have many cells grouped into tissues and organs. Tissues are groups of cells that work together for a common purpose, like muscle tissue, and multiple tissues form organs like the heart and liver, with organs systems composed of different organs working together in the human body.
The document provides an overview of the human digestive system in 6 sections:

The document is a study guide about cells that outlines the cell theory, how cells were discovered, microscope structures, cell organelles, and exceptions to the cell theory. It covers key topics like the three main facts of the cell theory, early cell observers like Leeuwenhoek and Hooke, organelles and their functions, and exceptions such as viruses. The study guide contains blanks to be filled in.
The document provides information about the human nervous system and its regulation of homeostasis. It discusses the similarities and differences between the nervous system and endocrine system. The nervous system uses electrical signals transmitted along neurons, while the endocrine system uses chemical messengers. Both play major roles in homeostasis.
The nervous system has three types of neurons - sensory neurons which receive stimuli near sensory organs, interneurons which transmit signals between sensory and motor neurons, and motor neurons which activate effectors like muscles. Nerves are bundles of neurons that can be motor, sensory, or mixed. Individual neurons have dendrites, an axon, and a cell body. Signals move in one direction via depolarization along the axon.

The document is about human locomotion and the body systems that enable it. It discusses the skeletal system, which contains bones that provide structure, anchor muscle action, protect organs, and allow for movement. Cartilage cushions joints and is flexible. The muscular system includes skeletal muscles that appear striated and are used to move bones. Tendons connect muscles to bones, while ligaments connect bones to other bones at joints. Problems that can affect the skeletal system include arthritis, which causes inflammation and pain in joints and usually occurs in older individuals, and tendonitis, which is inflammation of tendons commonly seen in athletes.
1. Gregor Mendel is known as the father of genetics. He conducted early experiments breeding pea plants to study heredity and inheritance of traits.
2. Mendel's experiments showed that traits are passed from parents to offspring through discrete units of inheritance called factors, now known as genes. His work established basic principles of inheritance including dominance, segregation, and independent assortment.
3. Mendel's experiments were crucial in developing our modern understanding of genetics and heredity. His work laid the foundation for genetics as a science.
Human locomotion involves the movement of bones, cartilage, muscles, tendons, and ligaments to allow humans to move from place to place. The skeletal system contains bones of different shapes and sizes that provide support, protection, and leverage for movement. Cartilage gives joints flexibility and cushioning, and is found at the ends of ribs, nose, ears, and other areas. The muscular system contains three types of muscles - visceral, cardiac, and skeletal - which work with tendons and ligaments to control bone movement and provide structural support at joints. Common problems affecting the locomotive system include arthritis and tendonitis.
The document discusses DNA and genetics. It explains that DNA is the genetic material found in cell nuclei that contains the coded instructions passed down from parents to offspring. DNA has a double helix structure with nucleotides as its building blocks. Genes located on chromosomes inside the nucleus control cellular activity and traits by regulating enzyme production. DNA replication and sexual reproduction allow for transmission of genetic information between generations.
Genetic research focuses on cloning and genetic engineering. Cloning involves creating genetically identical offspring from a single organism's cells, which has been done with plants and animals like Dolly the sheep. Genetic engineering transfers genetic material between organisms to create recombinant DNA and introduce new genes, which has been used to develop therapies for disorders like growth hormone deficiency and diabetes. Selective breeding techniques like inbreeding and hybridization are also used to improve plant and animal varieties.
Genetic research is the fastest growing field, with common areas being mutations and cloning. Cloning is useful in agriculture by producing genetically identical offspring, and animals like Dolly the sheep have been cloned. Genetic engineering transfers genetic material between organisms, creating transgenic organisms with new genes and traits. It has been used to create organisms that produce human growth hormone and insulin. Eventually genetic engineering may be used to enhance humans. Selective breeding and artificial selection are ways to influence organisms through mating and selecting for desirable traits over many generations. Inbreeding is mating closely related individuals, which can increase desirable traits but also increases risks of genetic disorders due to increased homozygosity. Hybridization occurs when two different species mate to create hybrid offspring that may
DNA contains the genetic code that is passed from parents to offspring. It is a double-stranded molecule shaped like a twisted ladder, with nitrogenous base pairs forming the rungs. The four bases are adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. DNA provides instructions for building proteins and is found within the nuclei of cells. Genes, located on chromosomes inside DNA, determine inherited traits and can be influenced by the environment or mutated.
This document contains a homework assignment on genetic material for a Living Environment class. It asks the student to define terms related to genetics like asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction, DNA, nucleotides, and double helix. It also asks the student to identify the poles of the DNA ladder model, nucleotide base pairing groups, fill in a diagram of DNA structure, define gene mutations, and answer whether the environment can change an organism's phenotype.

4. X. How do we use a graph ?
Example Question # 1
If the P wave hits a location at 7 min 30 seconds where is this location?
Step #1 Locate 7 Minutes 30 Seconds
Step # 2 Take a straight piece of paper and draw a line until you hit the P wave
Step # 3 Using a ruler or your piece of paper draw a straight line down
Step 4 The line hits the distance at 5.2 multiply that by 1000 = 5,200
Answer = 5, 200
Created by Nissan Goldberg
5. Example Question #2
An earthquake occurred at 5:00:00 a.m. According to the Earth Science
Reference Tables, at what time would the P-wave reach a seismic station
3,000 kilometers from the epicenter?
STEP #1 - LOCATE 3,OOO Kilometers on the graph
Step #2 Move up until you hit the p wave
Step #3 the move to the left and mark down how many minutes it
took the earthquake to hit the location
In our case it is around 5 minutes and 40 seconds
Step # 4 Add 5:40 minutes to 5 am = 5:05 and 40 Seconds
Example question #3
Created by Nissan Goldberg
6. If the difference between the p wave and S wave is 6 minutes 20 seconds, how
far away is the location from the epicenter?
Step # 1 Put a piece of paper and measure 6minutes 45 seconds
Step #2 Drag the marked index card up the P wave line until your marking hits
the s wave and the bottom of your card or paper is on the P wave
Step #3 Draw a straight line down and mark the distance in our example it goes
to 5 x1000 = 5,000 km
Example # 4
Created by Nissan Goldberg
7. If it takes the S wave 17 minutes to reach Position x How long would it take the
p-wave to get to position x ?
Step # 1 Locate 17 minutes
Step #2 Using a piece of paper or an index card draw a straight line from the 17
until you hit the S wave
Step # 3 draw a straight line down from the point of the S wave until the distance
number
Step #4 Mark off the number ( remember each box is 200 km)
Our answer is 6,000

8. Where is the Epicenter? NYS Lab
Step 1 Look at the graph above it shops three different seismograms at three
different locations The first set of zigzags with the P is the P wave the second set
and larger is the S wave. Subtract the p wave time from the S wave time.
San Jose New York San Francisco
P wave = 21
S wave began 30:30
30:30
- 21:00
8:30 Minutes
Step #2 Take each time difference and do the same thing you did in example #3
and determine the distance for each location.
San Jose New York San Francisco

9. Step #3 On the bottom of your map below there are measurements
using your protractor measure out the distance .
Created by Nissan Goldberg
10. Step #4 Without moving your measurement put the point on the correct location
and make a circle
Step # 5 Do this for each location
Step 6 the place where the circles meet mark with an X (or if there is a large over
gap color it in and them mark it.
You are done the X is your epicenter GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!!!!
Created by Nissan Goldberg
11. Example #5
Question: If it takes the S wave 18 minute to get to location Y, How long does it
take the p wave to get to the same location?
Step # 1 Locate 18 minutes
Step #2 Using a piece of paper or an index card draw a straight line from the 18
until you hit the S wave
Step # 3 Then draw using a piece of paper or a card a straight line down from the
point of the S wave until the you HIT THE P WAVE
Step #4 From the point on the P wave draw a straight line to the left until you hit
the time line
Step #4 Mark off the time to the nearest 00:10
Our answer is !0 minutes
