Document Summary

Unit 2 study guide: using the periodic table become familiar with the elements (spell out their full names): 4,78,79,80,82,90 and 92: using your rock and mineral kit make a chart or table of the different mineral classes. 4) understand what and how intrusive and extrusive rocks form, the different rock textures and compositional classifications: know why some volcanoes erupt explosively and whereas others do not. Midterm: generate a table or chart that includes compositions, textures, key minerals from the bowen"s reaction series and relative temperature (i. e. mafic, gabbro, olivine and pyroxene, high temperature etc, draw the different igneous structures including: dyke, sill, etc. Unit 5 study guide: draw the different types of streams and label the parts (i. e. point bar, intrachannel etc. ). Make a complimentary table or chart that identifies rock types for each part of the stream: draw a shoreline labeling the different zones.
