The next TWO weeks!

This is a little more detailed than we have, but it has the same general idea.

For Friday 10/24, you'll need to know the following terms and be able to place them in the right spot:

Sediments, sedimentary rock, deposition, compaction and cementation( which is where lithification is located up there in the diagram and means"turn to stone")  metamorphism, metamorphic rock, melting (bonus for locating magma), cooling (crystallization),solidification igneous rock, and weathering/erosion. You won't need to worry about the blue lines for the quiz.  It will look JUST like the study sheet we did today.

For Wednesday, 10/29, you'll need to know the longer list of terms.  I have grouped the terms together in their idea clusters-- the terms that are related to one another.  There are thirteen terms.

                           rock cycle                                               
                                                                                             mantle                                         
                                                                                             asthenosphere
                           P waves                                                    lithosphere
                           S waves                                                    the Moho (est. 1909!)


                           core                                                          crust
                          inner core                                                 continental crust
                          outer core                                                 oceanic crust

For Thursday and Friday, October 30-31, we will be watching a movie and taking notes to write a brief (200 words) paper about new concepts.  Come prepared to listen, enjoy, and write down solid ideas.  We'll write rough drafts on Monday 11/3, clean up and turn in on Tuesday 11/4.
