Earth Materials and Systems

​REVIEW THE FOLLOWING SLIDES AND THEN TAKE THE QUIZ.

​This includes the cryosphere- all the frozen waters of the Earth (polar ice caps, glaciers, etc.)

STUDY THIS TABLE so that you are familiar with several Earth system interactions!

STUDY THIS DIAGRAM so that you are familiar with THE ROCK CYCLE!

Examples of constructive forces are deposition, volcanic eruptions that add lava to an area or create an island, and tectonic plate uplift.

Examples, of destructive forces are weathering, erosion, exploding volcanoes and earthquakes.

As you can see, some forces can be constructive or destructive depending on the situation.

Take the following Quiz based on what we've learned so far about the Earth's Systems, Cycles, and Interactions!
