Geology Study Guide Chapter 1 Themes of Textbook The Earth is a unique‚ evolving system. Within the Earth System‚ chemical elements pass in cycles between different types of rock and sea‚ rock‚ and air. Plate Tectonics explains many Earth processes. Earth has a core‚ mantle‚ and crust. Measurements: 1 Ka=1 thousand years ago 1 Ma=One million years ago 1 Ga=One billion years ago The Earth is 4.57 billion years old. Big Bang All matter and energy was initially packed into

Peridotite – the rock that forms in the mantle – lots of minerals olivine and pyroxene. Shallower crust. Mafic – so magnesium and iron rich (ferric) minerals that we’ll look at in labs Gabbro and basalt are both formed from the cooling of magma – but they differentiate because of different rates of cooling. Last week we had a quick introduction to plate tectonics and diverging oceanic plate boundaries where magma rises – this image represents the composition of those regions. This sample of

Geology 101—Lesson 2 Assignment 1. What is meant by "hydrogen is the simplest of all elements"? Because hydrogen has an atomic number of only “1” which means it only has one proton in its nucleus and it is the only element with only one proton in its nucleus also has one electron 2. What must happen in order for an atom to lose its electrical neutrality? In order for an atom to lose its electrical neutrality the protons and electrons

Groundwater depletion Groundwater is a valuable resource . Where surface water‚ such as lakes and rivers‚ are scarce or inaccessible‚ groundwater supplies many of the hydrologic needs of people everywhere. In the United States. It is the source of drinking water for about half the total population and nearly all of the rural population‚ and it provides over 50 billion gallons per day for agricultural needs. Groundwater depletion‚ a term often defined as long-term water-level declines caused by sustained

Associate Program Material DNA Worksheet Answer the following in at least 100 words: 1. Describe the structure of DNA. * * There has been a major effort in the history of science to figure out the structure of DNA. Having a double standard helix DNA has a uniform a diameter in its entire length. The helixes fit within a defined three dimensional space because they are both right handed. Polynucleotide chains are held together by the bases in the (center) hydrogen bonding
