Q

READ

A

-Divergent plate boundaries, which are associated with the formation of rift valleys, occur when plates move away from one another.
-Convergent plate boundaries move toward one another, pushing into one another and are likely to create mountain ranges.
-Transform boundaries involve two plates sliding past one another.
-The plates interact with each other at the edges.
-In some places the edges come together, in other places they pull apart.
-In still others, the plates slide past each other.

Q
  • Original horizontality explains that most sediments are deposited, form a horizontal or nearly horizontal layers.
  • Lateral continuity refers to how layers of sediments extend in all directions horizontally unless a river erodes, or an earthquake moves them.
A

STRATIGRAPHIC LAWS

24
Q
  • Disconformity refers to the layer deposited over eroded horizontal sedimentary layer.
  • Nonconformity refers to the sedimentary layer is deposited over eroded igneous or metamorphic rocks.
A

UNCONFORMITIES

25
Q

Sedimentary layer deposited over eroded horizontal sedimentary layer.

A

DISCONFORMITY

25
Q

Sedimentary layer deposited over eroded igneous or metamorphic rock.

A

NONCONFORMITY

26
Q

Sedimentary layer deposited over eroded angular (tilted or folded) rock.

A

ANGULAR UNCONFORMITY

27
Q

sedimentary rocks form with invisible gap in time between them due to erosion of older unit or nondeposition.

A

PARACONFORMITIES

28
Q

It is used to arrange geological events and the rocks they leave behind in a sequence.

A

RELATIVE DATING

28
Q
  • refers to the use of animal bones to determine the age of sedimentary layers and the materials embedded within those layers
A

FAUNAL DATING

29
Q
  • It is any dating technique that tells us how old a rock specimen is in years.
A

ABSOLUTE DATING

30
Q

a dangerous phenomenon, substance, human activity or condition that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihood and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage.

A

HAZARD

30
Q

Surface rupture is an offset of the ground surface when fault rupture extends to the Earth’s surface

A

GROUND OR SURFACE RUPTURE

31
Q

It is the perceptible shaking of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic waves

A

EARTHQUAKE

32
Q

the primary cause of earthquake damage to man-made structures.

A

GROUND SHAKING OR GROUND MOTION

33
Q

is a phenomenon in which the strength and stiffness of a soil is reduced by earthquake shaking or other rapid loading.

A

liquefaction

34
Q

This may be due to downward vertical displacement on the side of a fault, and can sometimes affect huge area of land.

A

SUBSIDENCE

35
Q
  • is also known as a seismic sea wave, is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water generally in an ocean or a large lake.
A

TSUNAMI

36
Q

is when lava and gas are released from a volcano—sometimes explosively.

A

VOLCANIC ERUPTION

37
Q

Volcanic explosions can propel rock fragments on ballistic trajectories that may differ from the wind direction

A

BALLISTIC PROJECTILES

38
Q

Magma contains dissolved gases, which provide the driving force that causes most volcanic eruptions

A

VOLCANIC GASES

39
Q

is an overflow of water (or rarely other fluids) that submerges land that is usually dry.

A

FLOOD

40
Q

is defined as the movement of a mass of rock, debris, or earth down a slope.

A

LANDSLIDE

41
Q

CAUSES OF DEFORMATION OF ROCKS?

A

STRESS AND PRESSURE

42
Q

The more the silica it has, the lighter the color is.

A

amount silica affect the color of igneous rock

43
Q

This are the rocks that are exposed to extremely high temperature and/or pressure and causes stratification (layering) of __________.

A

METAMORPHIC ROCKS

44
Q

The movement of the plates leads to?

A

formation of different landforms
movement of plates leads to the formation of folds faults trenches rift valleys and mountain ranges.

45
Q

what is the semi-liquid hot molten rocks located beneath earth?

A

MAGMA

46
Q

A type of metamorphic rocks that are formed around igneous intrusions where the temperaturesare high, but the pressuresare relatively lowand equal inall directions?

A

NON-FOLIATED

47
Q

What type of igneous rocks are formed when magma rise and flow into the cracks in the crust but do not reach the surface?

A

intrusive

48
Q

This process involves the transfer of energy through density difference and most effective in liquids and gases?

A

convection

49
Q

The Greek word “morghe” means?

A

form

50
Q

The most common type of this igneous rocks are basalt, obsidian, and andesite?

A

extrusive

51
Q

What part of the geosphere is responsible for the movement of the plates because it acts like a lubricant?

A

asthenosphere
