5 features of a map
title scale compass legend latitude londitude
How are metimorphic rocks formed
rocks are subjected by heat/ high pressure
how are sedimentry rocks formed
formed from other peaces of rocks
how are igneous rocks formed
megma looses heat and turne crystal
sedimentry rock example
sandstone limestone
igneous rock example
crystal
metamorphic rock example
marble slate
Alfred wegners theiory
all continents were once connected
divergent
2 plates move away
convergent
2 plates move come together
sublimation
convertion between solid and gasses
transform
2 techtonic plates slide past
volcanoes work
megma pushes through vents on the earth
glaciers work
form from snow turns into ice then grows under the pressure of its weight
top soil
very thin and full of orgnic material
sub soil
mostly non organic material
parent marerial
brocken up bedrock
deciouous trees
leaves that fall during the cold
coniferous trees
needle like leaves that reproduce through cones
calcification
calcium carbinates soils
leaching
loss of souuble dirt from top soil layer
4 natural vegitation regions
tundra, grassland, rain forest, ice sheets
convectional
how heat travels
relief
moist air is lifted by mountain range
cyclone
wind rotaing circular at fast speeds
weather
short term changes is climate
climate
weather over long periods of time
6 factors of climate
latitude, near water, human influence, wind and air, ocean currents, elevation
Primary industry
harvest raw material from nature
secondary industry
convert raw material
teritary industry
serveces and bussiness
quaternary
govnerment, healthcare
basic industries
brings money from outside
non basic inistries
serveces within community
renewable reasorces
replenish itself at a fast rate
non renewable reasorces
has limited supply
sustanability
maintain or support somthing over time
ecological footprint
the impact you or somthing has on the environment
stewardship
taking care of something
solor energy generations
converts suns energy into power
hydroshere
diffrent water found on earth
3 types of setlement patterns
concession system, long lots, section system
rural
open country/land
urban
large city
immigration
coming into another country to live permently
emigration
leaves onse country to live in another
BR=
Birth rate(BR/TP)x1000
Dr=
Death rate (DR/TP)x1000
NIR=
natural increase rate (BR-DR) _ /1000 x 100
IR=
Immigration rate (IR/TP) x1000
ER=
Emmigration rate (ER/TP) x1000
NMR=
Net migration rate (IR-ER) _/1000 x100
PGR=
population growth rate (NIR + NMR) _/1000 x100
DT=
Doubling time (70/PGR)
rock cycle in order
Megma - ingeous - sediment - sedimentry - metamorphic
Rock cycle prosses order
melting - cooling - heating - weather and erosion - heat and pressure
