An front forms during a mid-latitude cyclone when a fast-moving cold front overtakes a warm front, forcing the warm air mass completely off the ground.

Match each subatomic particle to its electric charge and location within an atom.

Which type of mineral specimens should NOT be tested using an unglazed porcelain streak plate?

Match each detrital sedimentary grain size name to its correct particle size boundary.

Earth’s circumference is approximately 25,000 miles (which equals 1,584,000,000 inches). If a tectonic plate moves continuously in a straight line at a rate of 2.0 inches per year, how many years would it take to complete one full lap around the Earth?

What atomic-level characteristic determines whether a mineral is hard or soft on the Mohs scale?

Categorize each pluton based on its shape (Tabular vs. Massive) and orientation relative to country rock layers (Concordant vs. Discordant).

Match each type of North directional reference with its correct definition.

A stream with a normal velocity of 40 cm/sec can transport gravel particles up to 10 grams in mass. During spring snowmelt, its flow velocity increases to 1.6 meters per second (160 cm/sec). Calculate the maximum particle mass in grams the stream can transport during snowmelt.

Lines of latitude measure angular distances North or South of which primary reference line?
