Earth Science Long Test Universe Sir Isaac Newton Is everything (NASA) static, steady-state infinite Humans used religion, tradition, universe philosophy, and science to describe Albert Einstein its origin and structure. All of space static, dynamically-stable universe Including energy, time, and you Edwin Hubble the universe was not static Genesis one of the books of the Hebrew bible & Christian Old Testament The Big Bang Theory How God made the Earth in 6 days Current accepted model Originated from an infinitely tiny & Rigveda dense point (singularity) Hindu text George Lemaitre (1927) Describes the universe as an Supported by Edwin Hubble’s oscillating “cosmic egg” or demonstration of the expanding “Brahmanda.” universe universe expands & collapses (never-ending process) Gluons messenger particle Leucippus & Democritus atomic universe Quarks elementary particles and a Aristotle & Ptolemy fundamental constituent of matter geocentric universe (earth-focused) Nuclear solid force binds sub-atomic particles Nicolaus Copernicus together (quarks) heliocentric universe (sun-focused) Earth Science Long Test Natural Laws Created natural laws of the four fundamental forces of the universe 1. Strong nuclear force 2. Weak nuclear force 3. Electromagnetic force 4. Gravity Steady State Theory Hadron & Lepton Era Proposed by Fred Hoyle, Thomas The universe cools down; quarks Gold & Hermann Bondi create new particles called The universe expanded but did not hadrons & leptons. change its density It also forms particles such as Matter is continuously created to protons, electrons, and neutrons. form new stars and galaxies at the same rate Nucleosynthesis Era Created the first element; Solar System Hydrogen The sun and everything bound to it by gravity (planets, moons, Opaque Era asteroids, comets &, etc.) - NASA Hydrogen gases clumped together, galaxies start to form Geocentric Model Oscillating Theory Earth in the center Ptolemy Also known as the pulsating theory By Albert Einstein (1930) Heliocentric Model Cyclical event, each beginning with a Big Bang and ending with a Big Nicolaus Copernicus Crunch Published “on the revolutions of Contains an expansion (Big Bang) the celestial spheres.” following a collapse (Big Crunch) The sun is at the center of the universe.  Earth Science Long Test Sun - Discovered in 1930 - Reclassified (2006) as a dwarf planet by Center of the Solar System the IAU (International Astronomical It’s gravity holds the solar system Union) together - Did not meet the 3rd criteria 4.5 billion years old Made up of hydrogen and helium 864,000 miles in diameter & IAU Criteria 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit Vital (ocean currents, season, 1. It is in orbit around the sun climate & photosynthesis) 2. It has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium (round Mercury - Venus - Earth - Mars - Jupiter - shape) Saturn - Uranus - Neptune 3. It has the ability to clear the neighborhood around its orbit Terrestrial Planets Derived from the Latin word Encounter Hypothesis “Terra” - Earth-Like Rogue sun passed the sun, Similar in structure & composition material was stripped from the to the Earth sun, and the rogue star Telluric or rocky planet This material fragments into It has a solid surface smaller lumps, which form the Mercury, Venus, Earth & Mars planets. Jovian Planets Nebular Hypothesis Gas giants developed out of a nebula, which “Jovian” - Jupiter-like collapsed & condensed Giant balls of gas exist in a rocky Forms a protostar core Accretion occurred (gradual The core is filled with liquid-heavy growth) compounds The nebula flattened into a disk Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus & Neptune called the protoplanetary disk Planets form on this disk Pluto: Dwarf Planet - Found in the Kuiper Belt Earth Science Long Test Protoplanet Hypothesis Mantle “leading hypothesis” Earth’s thickest layer Tiny objects stuck to each other Made up of Iron, Magnesium, and and grew bigger & bigger Silicon Nebula started as a loose 3000 - 30 km beneath collection of gas and dust Asthenosphere Slowly shrinks, making the cloud compress and spin faster Layer between mantle and crust The compression formed a Crust hydrogen fusion that became our sun Divided into oceanic and Compressed into planetesimals continental into protoplanets and planets Made up of Silica, Aluminum and Planetesimals -> Protoplanets -> Oxygen Planets Lithosphere Milky Way Crust and Uppermost part of the Mantle - A massive collection of stars, dust, and gas Earth’s Discontinuities - Spiral galaxy - Looks like a spinning pinwheel Transition zone of the layers Lehmann Earth’s Layers Inner and Outer Core Inner Core Gutenburg Hot iron ball the size of pluto Solid due to pressure Outer Core and Lower Mantle About 5,400 celsius Repetti 6,400 - 5180 km beneath Upper and Lower Mantle Outer Core Mohorovicic Responsible for the magnetic field Made up of liquid Iron and Nickel Lower Crust and Upper Mantle 5,180 - 2,880 km beneath Earth Science Long Test Conrad Diaphaneity Upper and Lower Mantle Transparency Minerals Luster Naturally Occurring, Pure, How it reflects light Inorganic, Homogeneous solid and Tenacity with a definite structure How the mineral holds together Minerology Specific Gravity Study of Minerals Density of the mineral Minerologist Person who studies minerals Mineral Chemical Properties Minerals Physical Properties Solubility Ability to dissolve in a solvent Color Melting Point Clear or White is pure and rare Temp when solid turns into a liquid Streak Rock-Forming Minerals Color of a mineral’s powder Light Colored Hardness Feldspars Whether a mineral will scratch or Quartz be scratched Muscovite Carbonates Cleavage Aluminum Silicates Tendency to break along certain planes Dark Colored Olivine Crystalline Pyroxenes Arrangement of crystals Amphiboles How they are joined is called Biotite/Black Mica “Crystal Lattice” Earth Science Long Test Minerals in Our Daily Lives Sedimentary Rocks Halite - Found in table salt and From the word “Sediments” - to preservatives settle at the bottom Talc - Found in powders because it Formed by erosion and deposition absorbs oils, moisture, and odor by other rocks Diamond - Used as a gemstone for jewelry Clastic Quartz - Used in concrete, glass, Accumulation of little pieces of watches, and scientific broken rocks and shells instruments; also used to make Ex.

Landfill - layers of garbage and 1. Climate - develops faster in warm soil than cold 2. Topography - affects water runoff b. Incineration - combustion or that strips parent material burning of garbage. 3. Time - soil age - It is considered one of the most 4. Plants & Animals - organic matter hygienic methods of waste 5. Parent Material - starting point disposal. Environment c. Composting - decomposition of where organisms live or occupy organic matter by microorganisms All elements surrounding the organism d. Source reduction - the practice of Including the air, water, nature, eliminating waste before it is people & organism created e. Recycling - separating, recovering, Waste and reusing components of solid unwanted and unusable materials waste that may still have economic (no use) value Solid Waste Universal Recycling Symbol (Mobius any type of garbage, trash, refuse, Loop) or discarded material - One step in a three-step process It can be categorized to where it that forms a closed loop was generated - Collection, manufacturing & Ex.
