Geology Removals Flashcards
Among the minerals on the crust, which minerals are the least common on the earth’s crust?
Mg (magnesium) in 2.1%
this describes the color of minerals in powdered form
streak
this texture indicates the highest level of metamorphism
Gneissose?
chemical weathering favors this climate
tropical
when aquifers are cut by a fault end exposed to the surface, this thing occurs:
springs
this type of landform marks the zone of accumulation of glaciers
cirque
this type of dune is ridge-like parallel to the net vector of two wind currents
longitudinal
these are causes of tsunamis except:
a. volcanic eruptions
b. fault movements
c. meteorite impacts
d. landslide
e. storms
e. storms
Active volcanoes can be found here except;
a. hotspots
b. O-O convergence
c. C-O convergence
d. Collision zones
e. Mid Oceanic Ridges
d. Collision zones
strong ground vibrations can be made by these:
- large landslides
- volcanic eruptions
- meteorite impact
- large trucks moving along the road
these structures are produced by compression, without fracturing the rock
Folds
these are the basis of mantle composition except:
a. moon composition
b. stony meteorite
c. iron meteorite
d. ophiolites
e. lava from hawaii
c. iron meteorite
these are rocks associated with violent eruptions except:
a. andesite
b. diorites
c. basalt
d. rhyolite
e. granites
c. basalt
these are fossils used to represent a specific period in time:
index fossils
the violent formation of the universe was said to be this theory:
Big Bang
these type of mass movement, occurs in an incline manner, with mixed rocks, soil, and other surface materials
debris avalanche
this type of landslide occurs during a storm, a few days after an earthquake
complex landslide
this stream recharges water to an aquifer
losing stream
quartz occurs rarely in this rock
peridotite
this type of aquifer has a designated recharge and discharge area
confined aquifer
