If they ask us what this is a picture of, do we put Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain or just Emperor seamount chain?

Ideally, you should raise your hand and ask the event supervisor whether the question is referring to the northwestern part or the entire chain. However, it's likely that this won't work, (e.g. the test is in stations and going very fast, the proctor knows nothing about the test, etc.) in which case you should take your best guess based on the commonality of the two names and your judgement of the event supervisor (for example, if one name is much more recent and your ES has been studying oceanography for many decades, I would put the older name).

I'm currently reading Essentials of Oceanorgraphy 10the edition. If I read the entire book, would that be enough for Nationals?


Thanks in advance.

You cant just read a couple textbooks and expect to do well at nat. Its just not that easy. Taking tons of practice tests and doing test corrections and refining your cheat sheet over and over again discovering new topics to focus on is imo the best way.

Taking many practice tests is a good idea since there's always something to learn a little bit more about. Reading textbooks is fine for the beginning of the year to learn new concepts, but at this stage, it's probably too late if you don't know the concepts well. Though, I'm not saying reading a textbook is bad; it's a great resource and great for review. Work well and good luck!

Thanks in advance.
In my experience nothing is "enough" for nationals. There is always more to study. Although that book is a good start, try to diversify your study material with videos, websites, and the Soinc CD's.

I have the rules for Dynamic Planet back from when the topic was Volcanoes and Earthquakes. Does anyone more experienced/knowledgable than I know/have an idea how much the topics within Earthquakes and Volcanoes will change, if at all?
