Study the guided notes and pay attention to the types of questions you may see. They will not be word for word, so do not
memorize them.
You must label the sketches of valley landforms and glacial deposits. I will probably give you a word bank (as with the
stream sketch).
You will be asked to order pond succession (on handout). The pictures will be similar.
Use the carbon cycle below. You will fill in the blanks for this.
