Sci. 7 FINAL EXAM

Read each statement carefully. Determine whether the statement is true (T) or false (F).

1

In early times, people observed that heat – because it seemed to flow from a hot place to a cold place –must be an invisible fluid that they called caloric.

1

The energy of movement is the kind of energy the particles of matter have. This energy is called phase energy.

1

When thermal energy is added to a solid the volume of the solid will change. Steel beams bending or even breaking in a bridge, because of an extreme change in temperature are a result of thermal expansion.

1

Thermal energy from inside the Earth's crust can be harnessed as a useful thermal energy source.
Volcanoes, hot springs and geysers are example of this type of thermal energy source. This type of thermal energy is an environmental pollutant.

1

A student who was studying for a test remembered the different models the teacher used in class to
identify the different kinds of structures. When the teacher made a tent-like position with the hands, the student remembered it represented a frame.

1

Roof types are designed for cover and also to serve a useful purpose in the environment in which they
can be found. A very steep roof design in a mountainous area is designed to prevent climbimg animals.

The standard unit of measuring force is named after a famous English scientist, who was the first to
describe the ‘law of gravitation’, getting the idea for the law as he sat under an apple tree. This unit of
measuring force is similar to the amount of force needed to hold an apple in your hand and is called a Newton.

1

The core of the Earth is made up of two layers. The inner core, which is made up of nickel and iron
reaching temperatures of 7000oC, because of the pressure of the other layers on this inner core, it is a crystal.

1

The relative hardness of a mineral is measured with a scale. The scale is used to help identify different
minerals, because each mineral will scratch all the minerals with a lower scale ranking than its own.
Named after a German scientist, the scale is called Newton's Force Scale.

1

The science community rejected Wegener’s idea because they believed that mountains formed when the crust wrinkled like the skin of a dried-up apple.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
earthquakes		process of eroded materials being laid down or deposited by wind, water, and ice
model		edge or location where the continental plates are moving apart
erosion		tremblings or vibrations of the ground, caused by the sudden release of energy that has slowly been building up in Earth’s crust
deposition		the process that moves the soil from one place to another
corrugation		forming a material into wave-like ridges or folds; for example, as found in corrugated cardboard
Precambrian Shield		scientists who study the interior and surface of Earth
folds		bends in rock layers; most mountains were created by a combination of folding and faulting
diverging boundary		idea of something that can’t be fully known or seen; a way of demonstrating an object or a concept that is difficult to picture in its real form
paleontologists		scientists who study early life forms from animal and plant fossils
geologists		rock formation formed between 544 and 4500 million years ago; underlies all of Alberta, though it is only exposed in the northeast corner of the province
