Honors Biology Final Exam Guide (Gray) So this is the practice test. I tried to make a relatively even number of questions from each section. I may have skipped something involuntarily so I would study your notes and whatever else as well. There is also a quizlet called Honors Biology final on my account so you can use that as well. I believe it has every term we have covered second semester. GOOD LUCK. Just think‚ no more BE SPECIFIC’s and Why?’s!!! 1. Before the time of Charles Darwin

English Philosopher was aware of this as early as 1620. Topographical and geological evidence built up and allowed Alfred Wegener to publish a theory in 1912‚ suggesting that the continents were once all joined together in a supercontinent he called Pangaea. Wegener proposed that at some time‚ the land masses had drifted apart until they occupied their current positions on the globe. There was lots of evidence to support his theory including Continental Fit. Sometimes continents‚ such as the west of

It is not easy to really get a "feel" for 4‚600 million years! One way to try to get a "feel" for how big it is‚ is to break the number down into smaller pieces that perhaps we can understand. Plants and animals have changed many times‚ from amoebas to dinosaurs to people. The

spectacular and significant ecological events of the past millenium” (Crosby). It had a wide impact on the Americas‚ Asia‚ Europe‚ and Africa. The dominant start to the Columbian Exchange was way before it truly started‚ millions of years ago‚ when pangaea began to drift apart and tear between the Americas‚ Europe‚ Asia‚ and Africa. That caused major evolution. There were some animals‚ plants‚ foods‚ and substances that were only on one side of the world. The people of Europe‚ Asia‚ and Africa weren’t

Continental drift The broad shape of Australia and its distinctive landforms have been influenced over long periods by earth movements that cause the breaking and bending of the Earth’s crust. Geographers call these movements tectonic processes. The Earth’s crust is made up of many individual moving pieces called tectonic plates. There are nine large plates and about a dozen smaller ones. The larger plates contain the continents and oceans. These plates ‘float’ on the dense layer of rock below

Earth heated up to melt Iron&Nickel to create a core. Heated by meteorite impact‚ gravitational compression‚ &radioactive decay the iron/nickel weigh more than silicates so settled to earth’s center. 3. Earth was formed consisting of a dense iron-nickel core; an iron-rich silicate mantle and a silicate crust with continents emission of gases
