- metamorphic rock
- hardest rock
- mechanical weathering processes
- freezing and thawing, release of pressure, growth of plants, actions of animals, abrasion
- example of extrusive igneous rock
- obsidian
- five functions of the skeleton
- support and shape, movement, protection, production of blood cells, material storage
- example of smooth muscle
- digestive system
- cartilage
- connective tissue that is more flexible than bone
- agents of chemical weathering
- water, oxygen, CO2, living organisms, acid rain
- red marrow
- makes blood cells
- c-horizon
- partly weathered rock
- topsoil
- humus clay and other materials, cumbly and dark brown, a-horizon
- dustbowl years
- 1930-1938
- fight or flight preparation
- pupils dilate, sweat, heart beats faster, digestion slows
- unsaturated fat
- liquid at room temp; can be found in oils and salmon
- four moveable joints
- gliding, ball and socket, hinge, pivoting
- how skin heats and cools
- evaporation (sweat), goosebumps (tighten skin for warmth)
- functions of skin
- protection, heating, cooling, sense of touch
- tendon
- connects muscle to bone
- stress reactions
- fight or flight
- types of igneous rocks
- extrusive, intrusive
- saturated fat
- solid at room temp; can be found in dairy, meat and egg yolk
- extrusive igneous rock
- shiny, has magma with no crystals
- sedimentary rock
- made through lithification
- ligaments in moveable joints
- hold bones together
- conservation plowing
- minimizes disturbance of soil and plant cover
- use of topo maps
- see steepness
- skin care
- wash, eat well, drink water, limit sun exposure
- dustbowl location
- Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado
- intrusive igneous rock
- lots of crystals due to slow cooling
- example of skeletal muscle
- legs
- types of muscle
- smooth, skeletal, cardiac
- ways to conserve soil
- contour plowing, conservation plowing
- digestion
- breaking down food
- advantage of loam
- holds air and water well
- example of intrusive igneous rock
- bay salt
- spongy bone
- lightweight but strong
- soil conservation
- management of soil to prevent its destruction
- characteristics of sedimentary rock
- has fossils, clastic or chemical sediments like calcium carbonate, make up 3/4 of the earth
- lithification
- cementing and hardening before compacting
- types of metamorphic rock
- slate (from shale), marble (from limestone), gneiss
- topography
- study of land's shape
- example of nerve tissue
- brain
- uplift
- process of rocks piling up on each other over time, often creates a volcano
- types of tissue
- muscle, nerve, connective, epithelial
- example of hinge joint
- knee
- fluid in moveable joints
- lubricates bones for smooth movement
- contour plowing
- plowing fields along a hill slope
- example of cardiac muscle
- heart
- outer membrane
- like a cell membrane for the bone
- humus
- dark substance made of decayed plants and other organisms, very nutritious
- example of pivoting joint
- neck
- purpose of soil conservation
- basis for all living things; is created slower than it is destroyed
- example of connective tissue
- elbows
- yellow marrow
- stores fat
- compact bone
- on the outside of the bone; carries blood vessels
- example of epithelial tissue
- skin
- general functions of the digestive system
- break down food, absorb molecules, transport nutrients, eliminate waste
- elements of loam
- equal parts clay, sand, and silt
- example of ball and socket joint

- cushion between the bones
- plate tectonics
- the study of how plates move
- example of muscle tissue
- legs
- factors of weathering
- type of rock, climate
- soil horizon
- a layer of soil that differs in color and texture from layers above or below it
- smaller categories of nutrients
- carbs: simple/complex, fats: saturated/unsaturated, proteins: complete/incomplete, vitamins: fat soluble/water soluble
