Earth Science Regents Unit 1 Prologue Review

This video is a review for the Earth Science Prolog unit quiz, covering top questions to help students prepare. It includes discussions on human senses, inference, classification, volume calculation, density, and temperature effects. The video also explains graph analysis and density consistency in minerals, with practical examples and calculations.

Which action can be performed most accurately using only the human senses?

• Tearing a sheet of paper into squares of one centimeter

• Measuring the air pressure of a room

• Counting 28 shells from a beach

• Adding 10 grams of a substance

Which statement about a major hurricane is an inference?

• Damage from the storm is expected to be extensive

• A rain gauge records three inches of rain in less than one hour

• The wind speed of the hurricane is measured at 200 kilometers per hour

• The central air pressure is recorded at 946 millibars
