Minerals    

·      Some well-known minerals are quartz, feldspar, and micas.

3 types of rocks?

 surface in response .

o   Volcanic phenomena

1convergent divergent and transform

convergent(subduction, diastrophism, mountains) divergent(MOR, rift valley)2.     transform(breaking off of continents and earth quakes)

3.     the rubbing together of plates

strato volcano

o    

2. form in locations where annual snowfall exceeds annual snowmelt and evaporation.

§  Stream Landscapes

Arête: looks like ride near horn Horn: horn of a mountain Tarn: is a lake Hanging valley: primary glacial trough  Continental glaciers(same as above but larger scale)fjord esker: long sinuous hill that travels across landscape (stream formation)

3.     outwash plain on the other side of a glacial trough..

Aquifers 

·      WATER TABLE IS UPPER ZONE OF AN AQUIFER

Landforms associated 

 beaches(any material between high and low tide) formed from in partly longshore drift(swash and backwash)and tributaries

spits (a long narrow accumulation of land and may have a joint or a hook waves cannot get behind the spir createing a1.    sheltered are where silt is deposited)

2.    barrier islands(open ocean are there is a beach, then dune then barrier flat thatn salt marsh and lagoon)

3.    coral reefs

§  Landforms

dependent on the following factors

vegetation levels

loess deposits (deposits of really fine grains of soil…

o   Scattering

3.     EQUATOR

o   Hadley, Ferrell, Polar Cells

4.     POLAR UP TOP… THEN FERRELL.. THEN HADLEY

2.    air is forced to flow from HIGH TO LOW (wind)

3.    common on coastal or mountainous reasons]

.convectional (a parcel of air that is at a specific air pressure and through the course of the day the atmosphere is heated up due to the earth releasing long wave radiation)

2. orographic(occurs in a mountainous environment… the cloud is pushed to a higher elevation and cooling is received in the air mass where pressure is released in the form of rainfall)

3. cyclonic of frontal(blending of air masses occurring… line of massive change in air pressur…. Cold air and hot air run into each other and the hot air is pushed up to a higher elevation causing condensation… and precipitation)

1.     Which of the following does NOT provide evidence for Alfred Wegener's "Continental Drift" theory? (Theisen and Shuck)

d.     orogeny dates

1.     Which of the following defines a landscape? (Spade)

d.     tangible physical and cultural features in an area

1.     Which one of these is chemical weathering? (Emry, Koel, Somerville)

c.     frost action
