Study Notes
Igneous Rocks
- Formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava
Metamorphic Rocks
- Formed when rocks are transformed into different rocks under great heat and pressure
Mineral Identification
- Typically identified based on its physical properties, such as color, streak, luster, cleavage, hardness, and density
Fossil Fuels
- Hydrocarbons, a substance largely composed of carbon chemically bonded with hydrogen and other elements
Geothermal Energy
- Uses Earth's natural heat as an energy source
Soil Compaction
- Human activity that affects the quality and quantity of soil by compressing it
Atmosphere-Hydrosphere Interaction
- Water evaporates from the Hydrosphere, forms clouds in the Atmosphere, and returns to the Hydrosphere as precipitation
Geosphere-Biosphere Interaction
- Main focus is on the exchange of nutrients and resources between the two spheres
Rock Cycle Process
- Rocks are exposed to high temperatures and melt to produce magma through the process of anatexis
Weathering vs Erosion
- Weathering: breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces, Erosion: transportation of sediment away from its source
Deposition
- Process that involves transportation energy decreasing sufficiently for water, wind, or ice to deposit their sediment
Lithification
- Process where sediments turn into rock through compaction, cementation, and lithification
