Igneous rocks Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Fault correct answers A plane in rock along which movement occurs Liquefaction correct answers - A process by which water-saturated sediment temporarily loses strength and acts as a fluid - When the ground is a poorly consolidated sediment or sedimentary rock with water in the pore spaces, shaking can cause the sediment to become like quicksand. - Dry/wet sand analogy Fractional Melting correct answers A mixture of molten and solid rock when the entire rock does not have the same melt...

geology - Study of the earth meteorology - the study of weather classify rocks -3 - sedimentary metamorphic igneous sedimentary - -compile sand, seashells, and other materials -grow in layers metamorphic - -rocks forms b/c of heat and pressure below the Earth's surface -crystals may form ignous - magma when it moves up surface therefore cooled lava form rocks richter magnitude scale - Measures the Magnitude of the earthquake three zones where earthquakes strikes the most - the pacifi...

Physical geology vs. Historical geology - Physical geology deals with materials and processes that make up the Earth, Historical geology is applying chronology to events in Earth's past Relative age - Determination that something is younger or older than something else Absolute Age - Precise measurement of how much time has passed since something was created or modified Fossils - Remains, traces, or other indications of life Principal of Original Horizontality - Sediment is deposited in l...

How many significant figures are in the measurement 0.0120 m? CORRECT ANSWER Three A block is accelerating along a flat surface under the action of a force applied parallel to the surface. If the magnitude of the applied force is doubled, then the magnitude of the block's acceleration will CORRECT ANSWER Double If a cell has 12 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will each of its daughter cells have after mitosis? CORRECT ANSWER 12 Which of the following best explains how igneous rocks a...

ASVAB – Latest Update (2022/2023) Graded A+ Geology The study of the nature and composition of the rocks and material that make up the Earth, how they were formed, and the physical and chemical processes that have changed earth over time Mineral a naturally occurring, inorganic solid that has a crystal structure and a definite chemical elements Organic compounds Carbon- containing remains of decomposed plant or animal matter Mineraloids Minerals that lack a defined crystalline structure. 3...

Name the three major kinds of rocks - Sedimentary- deposition of material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water Metamorphic- transformation of existing rock through heat or pressure Igneous- cooling and solidification of magma and lava Has the African plate been stationary or mobile and have other plates moved towards or away from it? - Relatively stationary while other plates have moved away from it causing no collisions ad therefore no mountain chains formed. How was the A...

tidal hypothesis : Theory that the solar system started with a near collision of sun and large star. Few astronomers believe this theory. condensation hypothesis : solar system began with rotating clouds of dust and gas. Condensation happened in center to form sun, and smaller parts of clouds formed. More astronomers believe in this idea. Core : Outer core- liquid; inner core- solid. Very dense in center. Believed that core is 80% iron. Helps heat oceans. Mantle : Surrounds core. ...

Theory of Plate Tectonics - Answer A theory stating that Earth's lithosphere is broken into huge plates that move and change in size over time - explains the process of continental drift - theory is a fusion on the theories of continental drift and seafloor spreading - continents are not floating on the ocean, rather they are rooted What are the 10 major plates of the Earth's lithosphere? - Answer African, Antarctic, Australian, Eurasian, North American, South American, Pacific, Cocos, N...
