Plate Tectonics
Moved by convection in the mantle
Plate Tectonic Theory: the Earth’s lithosphere is divided into large slabs of rock known as tectonic plates

Weathering
Mechanical• Breaking rock into
smaller rock
Chemical• Actually forming a
new substance (like rust)
![Page 16: STAAR / EOC Review 2012-2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ce9550346895dcaf183/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Tides and Currents Tides
• Bulges in the ocean caused by gravitational pull
Currents• Circulate warm
and cold water that regulate the Earth’s temp.
![Page 17: STAAR / EOC Review 2012-2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ce9550346895dcaf183/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
LAMECOWS Latitude
• Affects amount of sun radiation• Zones of latitude (high, mid, low)
Air Pressure• Caused by unequal heating of earth’s surface• High=cold• Low=warm
Mountain Barriers• Rain shadow Effect: Mountains block wind and rain
Elevation• Increase in elevation = Decrease in temperature
![Page 18: STAAR / EOC Review 2012-2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ce9550346895dcaf183/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
LAMECOWS Continental Location
• Coastline has a stable temperature
• Interior of continent has extreme temperatures (hotter & colder)
Ocean Currents
Wind Belts
Storms• Occur during low
pressure conditions• Front = two air
masses with different temps meet

Capitalism Mixed Economies
![Page 54: STAAR / EOC Review 2012-2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ce9550346895dcaf183/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Traditional Based on how ancestors
have meet their needs Barter system Subsistence agriculture
• Farming enough to feed your family, not for selling
Amish Farmers
![Page 55: STAAR / EOC Review 2012-2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ce9550346895dcaf183/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Free Enterprise Supply and Demand drives the market
• When demand is high, sellers charge more $ Little government regulation
![Page 56: STAAR / EOC Review 2012-2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ce9550346895dcaf183/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Free Enterprise Producers struggle for the
dollars of consumers. This competition regulates
price and brings better quality products
It all happens without a government plan. This phenomenon is called “the invisible hand”
Adam Smith
![Page 57: STAAR / EOC Review 2012-2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815ce9550346895dcaf183/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Communism All means of production are
controlled by the government
Based off of Karl Marx’s idea that capitalism put the wealth in the hands of a few
Eliminates competition which makes innovation stagnate
Karl Marx

Socialism Where the government controls
some major industries, but leaves others for private business

Venezuela• Government run healthcare
