Study Notes
Exam Review
- Exam Materials: Bring a calculator, 2 pencils, a white eraser, and 2-3 black or blue pens (no colored pens), and a white-out stick in a clear ziploc bag. Keep phones and smartwatches in your locker.
- Exam Outline: The exam includes multiple choice, true/false, matching columns questions, and 2 long answer questions; all using Scantron sheets.
Geologic History
- Geological Eras: List the order of geological eras: Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras.
Plate Tectonics
- Divergent Plate Boundaries: Plates move apart.
- Convergent Plate Boundaries: Plates collide.
- Rock Cycle: This process involves the transformation of rocks from one type to another (e.g., metamorphic to magma, igneous to sedimentary, etc.). Use the provided diagram.
Igneous Rock
- Formation: Igneous rock forms from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
- Transformation: Igneous rock can weather and erode into sediments.
Sedimentary Rock
- Formation: Sediments are compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rock.
- Transformation: Sedimentary rock can weather and erode into sediments.
Metamorphic Rock
- Formation: Metamorphic rock forms from the transformation of existing rocks due to heat and/or pressure.
- Transformation: Metamorphic rock can weather and erode into sediments.
Landform Regions of Canada
- Oldest Landform: The Canadian Shield.
- Best Soil: The Great Plains.
- Worst Soil: Hudson's Bay-Arctic Lowlands.
Climate
- Continental Climate Factors: Factors that contribute to a continental climate: distance from the equator, ocean currents (warm vs cold), wind, elevation, relief, and distance from water (near water).
- Maritime Climate Factors: Factors that contribute to a maritime climate: distance from the equator, ocean currents (warm vs cold), wind, elevation, relief, and distance from water (near water).
Soil
- Typical Soil: The best soil for plants; rich in moisture and dark brown near the surface; brown subsoil and bedrock in parent material.
- Leached Soil: Occurs when excess rainfall washes away minerals, leaving behind iron and aluminum components.
Types of Resources
- Renewable Resources: Resources that can be replenished if used carefully (e.g., soil, forests).
- Non-Renewable Resources: Resources that are limited and cannot be replaced (e.g., fossil fuels, minerals). Fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal) are non-renewable resources formed from prehistoric plants and animals.
Resources and the 3 Rs
- Reduce: Purchasing and consuming less.
- Reuse: Using objects repeatedly and for new purposes.
- Recycle: Transforming items into useful new products.
Managing Renewable Resources
- Farming: Canada's land quality- Class 7
- Water: Highest percentage of Earth's water is in oceans
- Energy: Conventional energy, Hydroelectricity, and Thermoelectricity
Manufacturing
- Economic Sectors: primary (extractive), secondary (manufacturing), tertiary (service). Examples include logging wood, Suncor Oil, Restaurant services.
Demographics
- Demography: Study of human population.
- Natural Increase Rate: Difference between birth rate and death rate.
- Net Migration Rate: Difference between immigration and emigration.
- Doubling Time: Time needed for a population to double.
Land Uses
- Transportation: Intentional movement of humans or animals from one location to another.
- Urban Sprawl: Uncontrolled expansion of cities into rural lands.
- Urbanization: Increasing percentage of a population living in cities and towns.
- Greenbelts: Rural areas around urban centers that prevent further development.
Liveable Communities
- Sustainability: Maintaining a high quality of life while using resources responsibly.
- Carrying Capacity: Environment's ability to support a population without damage.
- HDI: Measure of a country's standard of living by evaluating health, education, and economy.
