    The document contains a review for a monthly test with 17 questions about geology topics such as the three types of rocks, the rock cycle, radioactive decay, isotopes, atoms, half-life, the structure of the Earth, and heat transfer in the Earth's mantle. The questions cover how rocks are formed, comparing rocks, products of the rock cycle, definitions of radioactive decay, isotopes, and atoms, how half-life is obtained, where most of Earth's volume is contained, processes that break rock into sediment and move materials across the surface, heat transfer through convection currents, and properties of the Earth's core and crust.
