3. For the figure below, list the names of these 8 different parts of the Earth.  For #1-3, give their composition (what kind of chemical, mineral, or rock it’s made of).  For #4-8, give their physical properties (solid, liquid, rigid, or plastic).  Circle the number of the layer that is the PLATE in Plate Tectonics.              Name:                                     Composition/Properties 1.   Composition: 2.   Composition: 3.    Composition: 4.   Property: 5.   Property: 6.    Property: 7.    Property: 8.    Property:  

Dr. K will drop my lowest lab exam and lowest lecture exam score from Units 1-5. The final although non-cumulative cannot be dropped. 

This is the first of 12 Non-multiple choice question.  YOU MUST DO SEVEN of these, and no more than that.  If you do more than 7 of them, I will ONLY accept the first 7.  It is up to you to determine which of these 12 questions you can get the most points on, so read all of them before making your decision.  If you start to answer a question and change your mind, make sure that you delete all answers to that question, or I will consider that one of the 7. 1. Match the following terms to their definitions.  NOTE: not all of these definitions will be used.

9. Below is a series of drawings showing cross sections of:Divergent,Continent-Ocean Convergent,Ocean-Ocean Convergent,and Continent-Continent Convergent boundaries.Identify which of the drawings is each of these boundary types, and then identify (in the correctly chosen images) the features characteristic of those boundaries. Figure 13 Divergent Boundary:   Continent-Ocean Convergent Boundary:   Ocean-Ocean Convergent Boundary:   Continent-Continent Convergent Boundary:   Characteristic Features: Accretionary Prism (Continent-Ocean Convergent):   Accretionary Prism (Ocean-Ocean Convergent):   Continental Mountains:   Continental Mountain Root:   Continental Suture:   Continental Volcanic Arc:   Deep Ocean Trench (Continent-Ocean Convergent):   Deep Ocean Trench (Ocean-Ocean Convergent):   Earthquakes:   Magma rising to the surface to form new sea floor:   Magma rising to the surface to form a Continental Volcanic Arc:   Magma rising to the surface to form a Volcanic Island Arc:   Marine Sediment (Continent-Ocean Convergent):   Marine Sediment (Ocean-Ocean Convergent):   Mid-Ocean Rift:   Mid-Ocean Ridge:   Volcanic Island Arc:

7. Describe in detail the steps taken by the Scientific Method in the formation of a scientific theory and law as outlined in class.  Define your terms.  You should also say what happens when each step occurs; not just that it does, and how one step leads to another.
