Study Notes
Physical Properties
- Density: Defined as a physical property of matter, measuring mass per unit volume.
Geographic Concepts
- Elevation: Refers to height above a specific level, commonly sea level.
- Relief: Indicates the variations in height or uneven areas of a land surface.
Natural Features
- Landform: A term for natural geographical features on the Earth's surface.
- Rock: Composed of aggregates of minerals, forming the Earth's crust.
- Soil: A complex mixture including mineral grains, organic matter, and rock weathering products.
Geological Materials
- Mineral: Naturally occurring solid substances with a defined chemical composition and ordered atomic structure.
- Sand: Defined by natural particles with a specific grain diameter.
Scientific Study Areas
- Palynology: The specialized study focusing on pollen and spores.
- Topography: The scientific study of the Earth's surface shape and features.
Soil Characteristics
- Dark Soil: Color attributed to a high organic matter content, indicating fertility.
- Soil as Evidence: Can be categorized as either class or individual evidence based on its characteristics.
Evidence Analysis
- Class Evidence: Soil may be classified as such when similar characteristics appear in multiple locations (e.g., crime scenes).
- Individual Evidence: Soil becomes individual when containing unique elements like pollen, seeds, or vegetation fragments.
