Be prepared for the physical geography test this Wednesday! Here is what you should be familiar with:
-layers of the earth (crust, mantle, inner core, outer core)
-have an idea of where each landform region is in Canada (the map we worked on in class)
-characteristics of each region (what they look like)
-human activity or resources found in the region (where do we find oil? lumber? minerals,etc)
-geological eras- what parts of Canada formed first and last (Canadian Shield to the Western Cordillera)-remember the short "film strip time-line we did in class)
-which era was longest, shortest, etc
-rock cycle
-what forces changed the landscapes (erosion, etc)
-glaciation
-understand how a volcano works and how to label it
-know the definitions to the terminology we looked at for volcanoes (lahar, pycroclastic, tephra, magma, lava, etc)
-be prepared to label diagrams that may include types of folding, faulting and earthquake activity
-faulting (diverging, converging, subduction, rift valley, slip/strike)
Good luck!
