The map shows glacial features found in Mendon Ponds Park. Mendon Ponds Park Mendon Ponds Park, in New York State, is listed in the National Registry of National Landmarks due to its outstanding glacial landscape features. Glacial ice that covered most of New York State retreated northward at the end of the last ice age. As this glacial ice melted, great amounts of sediments were deposited at the glacier s southern edge. Four glacial features dominate the park s landscape. Kettles are bowl-shaped depressions formed when buried blocks of glacial ice melt. If the depressions ll with water, they are called kettle lakes. The Mendon Park ponds are all kettle lakes. Eskers are ridges of sorted sediments deposited within streams owing beneath the melting glacier. Kames are small hills of unsorted sediment deposited at the base of waterfalls formed by streams owing over the edge of a melting glacier.

The graph in your answer booklet shows the range of sodium and calcium percentages for each of the six varieties of plagioclase feldspar. Plagioclase Feldspars The plagioclase feldspars are a family of six silicate minerals that are dif cult to tell apart. They have the same crystal structure, cleavage, and hardness, and can be similar in color; however, they do differ slightly in chemical composition and density. The general chemical composition for plagioclase is (Na,Ca)AlSi3O8. The percentages of sodium (Na) and calcium (Ca) vary relative to each other, causing the differences in density. The mineral albite is sodium-rich, with little or no calcium, while anorthite is calcium-rich, with little or no sodium. The plagioclase feldspars with higher sodium content are more likely to be found in felsic igneous rocks, while the plagioclase feldspars with higher calcium content are more likely to be found in ma c igneous rocks.

June 17 [23] [OVER] Base your answers to questions 80 through 83 on the passage and the map of South America below and on your knowledge of Earth science. Two South American Deserts South America is an excellent example of the in uence that plate tectonic features have on climates. The Andes mountain range, formed by plate tectonics, is on the western edge of South America. When prevailing winds come from the southeast, which usually occurs between 0 and 30 S latitudes, rainfall is increased on the eastern side of the mountain range. The Atacama Desert lies in the rain shadow (dry area) to the west of the mountains. Farther south, the reverse pattern is found, due to different prevailing winds blowing between 30 S and 60 S latitudes. The Patagonian Desert lies on the eastern side of the Andes, between the Andes and the South Atlantic Ocean. 80 W 70 W 60 W 50 W 40 W 10 N 10 N 0 0 10 S 10 S 20 S Atacama Desert 20 S South Pacific Ocean 30 S 30 S South Atlantic Ocean 40 S 40 S Patagonian Desert 90 W P.S./E.

Directions to the Teacher Follow the procedures below for scoring student answer papers for the Regents Examination in Physical Setting/Earth Science. Additional information about scoring is provided in the publication Information Booklet for Scoring Regents Examinations in the Sciences. Do not attempt to correct the student s work by making insertions or changes of any kind. If the student s responses for the multiple-choice questions are being hand scored prior to being scanned, the scorer must be careful not to make any marks on the answer sheet except to record the scores in the designated score boxes. Marks elsewhere on the answer sheet will interfere with the accuracy of the scanning. Allow 1 credit for each correct response. At least two science teachers must participate in the scoring of the Part B 2 and Part C open-ended questions on a student s paper. Each of these teachers should be responsible for scoring a selected number of the open-ended questions on each answer paper. No one teacher is to score more than approximately one-half of the open-ended questions on a student s answer paper. Teachers may not score their own students answer papers. Students responses must be scored strictly according to the Scoring Key and Rating Guide. For open-ended questions, credit may be allowed for responses other than those given in the rating guide if the response is a scientifically accurate answer to the question and demonstrates adequate knowledge as indicated by the examples in the rating guide. On the student s separate answer sheet, for each question, record the number of credits earned and the teacher s assigned rater/scorer letter. Fractional credit is not allowed. Only whole-number credit may be given for a response. If the student gives more than one answer to a question, only the first answer should be rated. Units need not be given when the wording of the questions allows such omissions. For hand scoring, raters should enter the scores earned in the appropriate boxes printed on the separate answer sheet. Next, the rater should add these scores and enter the total in the space provided. The student s score for the Earth Science Performance Test should be recorded in the space provided. Then the student s raw scores on the written test and the performance test should be converted to a scale score by using the conversion chart that will be posted on the Department s web site at: http://www.p12.nysed.gov/assessment/ on Thursday, June 15, 2017. The student s scale score should be entered in the box labeled Scale Score on the student s answer sheet. The scale score is the student s final examination score. Schools are not permitted to rescore any of the open-ended questions on this exam after each question has been rated once, regardless of the final exam score. Schools are required to ensure that the raw scores have been added correctly and that the resulting scale score has been determined accurately. Because scale scores corresponding to raw scores in the conversion chart may change from one administration to another, it is crucial that, for each administration, the conversion chart provided for that administration be used to determine the student s final score. P.S./E. Sci. Rating Guide June 17 [2] Part B 2 Allow a maximum of 15 credits for this part. To ensure the accuracy of overlays, select a printer setting such as full, actual size or 100% when printing this document.
