chemically
mean?
Acids in the water reacts with the chemicals in the rocks.

help identify a mineral?
A. luster C. size
B. streak D. hardness
Define characteristics.
What is a mineral?Slide5
1/20 Mind-builder #5Which tools should be used to find the density
of a quartz crystal?
a. Graduated cylinder and beaker
b. Triple-beam balance and stopwatch
c. Spring scale and ruler
d. Graduated cylinder and triple-beam balance.What is density?The amount of mass per unit volume. m/v=d Slide6

What is organic material?Slide7
1/31 Mind-builder #7A scientist finds a vase that she believes is 2,000 years old. She compares its features to those of similar vases in a museum. She is
a. asking a question.
b. forming a hypothesis.
c. testing a hypothesis.
d. drawing conclusions.Slide8
2/1 Mind-builder # 8Why must a scientist always be sure of when testing a hypothesis?that observations meet expectations
that records of observations are accurate
that observations are supported by opinions
That observations prove that a hypothesis is trueSlide9
2/2 Mind-builder #9Which of the Earth’s layers is the least dense?
a. the crust b. the mantle
c. the outer core d. the inner core
The outer core is a liquid. Liquids are less dense because the molecules are not tightly packed together. They move more freely.Slide10
2/3 Mind-builder # 10What is the difference between salinity and desalination
?
Salinity is the amount of dissolved salt in water and desalination is the removal of salt from the water.Slide11
1.
Which of the following statements is true about the Pacific Ocean?
a. It is getting larger c.
it never changes
b. It is getting smaller. d. it is the smallest ocean.
.2. The measure of the amount of dissolved salts in a given amount of liquid is called
a. desalinization c. salinity
b.
the water cycle d.
evaporation
3
. The ocean’s surface temperatures vary with time of year and
a. latitude
c. seasons
b. longitude
d. moon phases

2/8 Mind-builder #12How fast does sound travel in water?
(use textbook page 382)
Answer: 1500 m/s
Sound travels faster through a solid and slower through a gas.Slide13
2/9 Mind-builder # 13What is the difference between point-source and nonpoint-source pollution?
Point-source is from only one source. You can identify the exact source.
Nonpoint source is from many sources. It is hard to tell who is doing the polluting.Slide14
2/15 Mind-builder #141. Which of the following resources is a renewable resource?
A. coal B. trees
C. petroleum D. iron ore
2. Which of the following statements about oil and natural gas reserves is NOT true?
A. Scientists find reserves by using seismic equipment. B. Reserves are generally found under layers of impermeable rock C. Oil and natural gas are renewable resources. D. Extracting reserves usually requires drilling through rock.Slide15
2/28 Mind-builder #16Deep currents from when______.
a. cold air decreases water density
b. warm air increases water density
c. salinity decreases
d. salinity increasesSlide16
3/1 Mind-builder #17Earthquakes are geologic events that happen along faults.
In what type of fault does the hanging wall move up relative to the footwall?
a. Strike-slip fault
b. Transform fault
c. Normal fault
d. Reverse faultSlide17
3/7 Mind-builder #18Define the terms:AtmosphereAir pressureSlide18
3/8 Mind-builder #19Unlike Earth, the planet Mars cannot support life. To give the planet Mars the ability to support life, people would have to find a way to change the planet’s ___________________________.
A. atmosphere
B. size
C. surface
D. temperatureSlide19
3/9 Mind-builder #20
1. Why does air pressure decrease as altitude increases?
as altitude increases it becomes less dense (less gas molecules)
2. What determines the temperature of
atmospheric layers?
it depends on the way different gases absorbs the solar energySlide20
Mind-builder #21
In which direction does gravity pull the moon?
a. Toward the Earth
b. Around the Earth
c. Away from the Earth
d. Toward and away from the EarthSlide21
3/11 Mind-builder #22Atmosphere layer questions (hand-out)Slide22
3/15 Mind-builder # 23A river system is made up of a network of streams and rivers. How does the water cycle help develop river systems?Slide23
3/17 Mind-builder # 24
Explain the difference between texture and composition.
Composition is the percent of elements that make up a rock.
Texture is a quality of a rock that is based on the size, shape, and position of it grains.Slide24
3/21 Mind-builder # 25True or False
Condensation is the process in which a liquid changes to a gas.
False
2. Dew point is the temperature to which air must cool before the air becomes saturated.
True3. The dew observed on grass forms on hot, cloudy, windless nights. FalseSlide25
3/24 Mind-builder #26
What happens to relative humidity as the air temperature drops below the dew point?
As the air temperature drops below the dew point, relative humidity increases to the saturation point and condensation occurs.Slide26

1. What is a natural resource?
(chapter 5 section 1)
A natural material that is used by humans.
2. What is the difference between non-renewable and renewable resources?Renewable can be replaced at the same rate it is used.Non-renewable forms at a much slower rate then the rate it is consumed.3. Sort into two groups:
renewable
and
non-renewable.
oil wood coal sunlight wind water natural gas
Oil, coal, natural gas
wood, sunlight, wind, waterSlide27
4/20 Mind-builder #28

hydrogen-carbon compounds called
hydrocarbon
.Slide28
4/21 Mind-builder #291. What is biomass?
Organic matter that can
be a source
of energy.
Examples: wood, animal dung, plant alcohol(sugars that are stored in plants)
2. If you were going to build a nuclear power plant, why wouldn’t you build it in the middle of the desert? Nuclear power plants require large volumes of water to prevent overheating and to generate steam. There is little water in the desert.Slide29
