Mr. Morelli's Chapter 6 (lesson 1-3) Science test

New ways to produce energy (sun, wind)

• Bedrock

• Mineral

• Nonrenewable resource

• Alternative energy

The age of one thing compared to another

• Topsoil

• Humus

• Fossil

• Relative Age

Any evidence of an organism that lived in the past

• Igneous rock

• Fossil

• Soil profile

• mineral

A natural, nonliving material that makes up rock

• Permeability

• Topsoil

• Humus

• Mineral

Uses 1-10; the higher the number, the harder the rock

• Igneous rock

• Soil profile

• Rock cycle

• Moh's hardness scale

An energy source formed from the remains of plants/animals that died a long time ago (coal, oil, natural gas)

• Metamorphic rock

• Fossil fuel

• Renewable resource

• Rock cycle

A "fire made rock" formed when melted magma or lava cools

• Bedrock

• Horizon

• Metamorphic rock

• Igneous rock

How fast water passes through soil (sandy soil with large pore spaces is very permeable)

• Permeability

• Soil profile

• Horizon

• Bedrock

The material found at the bottom of most soil profiles

• Humus

• Soil profile

• Topsoil

• Bedrock

Decayed (nonliving) plant and animal material found in soil

• Renewable resource

• Humus

• Soil that is rich in humus and minerals

• A resource (material) that can be replaced
