Chapter 2 Assessment and Activities Reviewing Key
Terms1. Atmosphere,
lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere
2. Accretion
3. Continental drift
4. Aquifer
5. Fold
6. Condensation
7. Magma
8. Precipitation
9. Fault
10. Plate tectonics
11. Evaporation
12. Erosion
Reviewing Facts1. Terrestrial, gas
giants
2. Mountains, hills, plateaus, plains
3. Inner core, outer core, mantle, crust
4. Movement of plates
5. Water cycle
6. Liquid, vapor, clouds, precipitation, surface runoff
Critical Thinking1. Internal forces
cause rising of landforms and can be dramatic and sudden; external forces usually wear away landforms and are usually slow
2. Plants and animals tend to be found where freshwater is abundant, soils are fertile, temperatures are moderate or warm, and the landscape is not too rugged or high in elevation
3. I will check

Earth-Sun Relationship Weather vs. Climate
Weather- condition of the atmosphere in one place during a limited period of time
Climate- weather patterns that an area typically experiences over a long period of time

Chapter 4 Assessment and Activity
Do all of page 98. In order to do this, you will need to read through chapter 4 which starts on page 74.
Chapter 4 Assessment and ActivitiesReviewing Key Terms
Population: a, c, p
Cultures: b, e, f, h, k

Resources, Trade, and Environment: d, i, o
Reviewing Facts1. Population growth increases
demand on resources and the environment
2. Greater economic opportunity
3. Language, religion, social groups, government, economy
4. Internal: new ideas, lifestyles, inventions; External: trade migration, war
5. Totalitarian dictatorship, absolute monarchy
