20.
Describe the characteristics of Sedimentary Rock
A.
MID-OCEANIC RIDGES: Ridges that are like mountain ranges found in the middle of each ocean and run parallel to coastlines- believe to be the location where the continental plates originally split apart
B.
Precambrian Era Paleozoic Era Mesozoic Era Cenozoic Era
C.
If the temperature range is low (less than <25ºC) and annual precipitation is high (more than > 1000mm) it is said to be a Maritime Climate
D.
Has layering Very few minerals
E.
Upper mantel is 10-15% liquid(asthenosphere)creating a plastic like layer allowing rock layers beneath the crust to flow like a liquid.
F.
Day to day characteristics of Atmospheric conditions. Weather covers smalls areas of earth (cities, regions etc.)
G.
Have morphed from another type of rock due to heat and pressure Very dense No holes
H.
The climate (temperature & precipitation) of cities along a coastline is directly affected by the ocean currents moving along the coast (moderating affect) They may become cooler or warmer and have more precipitation.
I.
The Canadian Shield -The Canadian shield was created by a volcanic eruption producing igneous rock
J.
If the temperature range is high (more than . 25ºC) and the annual precipitation is low (less than < 1000mm) then it is said to be a Continental Climate
K.
Temperature (C) Air pressure (high/low) Wind (speed/direction) Humidity (% of moisture in air) Precipitation (3 forms: Rain, Snow & Hail) Cloud Cover (eg, fog)
L.
Western Cordillera Interior Plains of Canada Appalachian Mountains St. Lawrence-Great Lakes Lowlands Canadian Shield Hudson Bay- Arctic Lowlands Innuitian Mountains
M.
L-Latitude- O-Ocean Currents W-Wind Patterns and Air Masses E-Elevation R- Relief N-Nearness to Water
N.
Mesozoic-Age of reptiles, such as dinosaurs. First flowering plants. First birds and mammals. Cenozoic- Human beings develop. Age of mammals. Modern forms of life evolve
O.
Precambrian-First multi-celled organisms. First single-celled organisms. Paleozoic- Age of amphibians & fish. First insects. Large swamp-coal formed from this vegetation. First plants & animals appear on land
P.
GEOLOGICAL FORMATIONS: Similar land forms are found on adjacent continents
Q.
It is much colder at the top of a mountain than it is at the base. Temperature drops 1.2C for every 200m of elevation. you get more precipitation the higher up you are.
R.
A pattern of Atmospheric conditions (temperature and precipitation) data collected and studied over a long period of time- 100+ years. Farmers were first climatologists. Farmers Almanac
S.
The Appalachians- the Canadian Shield eroded and sediments flowed into the ocean and are compressed, forming sedimentary rock, forces underneath the earth pushed up creating The Appalachian Mountains (Paleozoic Era)
T.
Temp moderated (cooler summers/warmer winters) by ocean especially when winds move inland. Precipitation is higher next to oceans (esp when winds move inland onto mountains. Lower when areas are located far inland (esp when behind mountains)
