The Midterm Exam will assess you on all topics that we have reviewed so far this semester. Please contact me here if you have questions! The topics covered include weathering & erosion, plate tectonics, the rock cycle, astronomy, and the hydrosphere. Some key items to focus on are listed below. However, keep in mind that though the exam will cover all of these, it is not limited to these specific key areas:
