REVIEWER IN EARTH SCIENCE  what is happening to the universe according to Hubble? – expanding  states that the universe was formed from violent explosion of hot dense mass – big bang  the solar system began from rotating nebula – solar nebula theory  theory that suggest that moons are asteroids were attracted by the planet they surround – capture theory  the hydrosphere most important role is to - provide water that is essential for life  correct sequence of layers of atmosphere from outside to inside – exosphere, thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere  does not make earth habitable - natural satellite  precipitation and evaporation are components of – water cycle  building blocks of rocks - minerals  refers to minerals containing silicon and oxygen - silicates  comprises the largest amount of water in hydrosphere - ocean  energy source that does not originate from the remains of extinct plants and animals – biomass  farming method allows water to gradually flow downslope – terracing  occurs when fertilizers and detergent are washed out to the rivers making the water favourable for the growth of algae – eutrophication  extracted from the earth’s interior – geothermal energy  refers to resistance of mineral to abrasion or scratching – hardness  element comprise silicate materials – silicon & oxygen  most unreliable diagnostic property of mineral – color  describe the light reflecting and transmission characteristics of minerals– luster  process of water cycle is like water droplet – condensation  3% - fresh water  correct term for the moisture that fells to the ground from cloud – precipitation  all true EXCEPT: most gas in the atmosphere is oxygen  minerals can be identified EXCEPT: shape  rock that likely contain fossils - sedimentary  energy sources that are form from the remains of once living thing – fossil fuels  splitting of the nuclear of an atom - nuclear fusion  running water produces water by the spinning - turbine  NOT true for minerals - minerals can be solid liquid or glass  best define a mineral and a rock – the constituent atoms in minerals are bonded in regular, repetitive, internal structure; a rock is lithified or consolidated aggregate of different mineral grains  earth is just a planet revolving the sun – heliocentric theory  states that the sun and planet formed simultaneously – protoplanet theory  expansion of the space itself – big bang theory  most galaxy have spectral shift that move toward the red end spectrum – expanding the universe  describe earth as a geocentric – geocentric theory  states that sun and planet are forms from rotating nebula that cooled and collapsed – laplacian theory Properties of Minerals (Physical and Chemical)
