Final Review


  • ocean floor - age magnetic stripes 
  • types of seismic waves 
  • body waves - passes through the interior of the earth 
  • yosemite- land lock hot spot 
  • hawaii- ocean hot spot 
  • goelogic structure anticline and sincline 
  • anticline - up 
  • sincline - down 
  • anticline- flows away from the axis 
  • sincline- flows towards the axis 
  • japan - subduction zone ( bumpy trenches) 
  • an important characteristic of an index fossil is the organism existed for a relatively short period of geologic time 
  •  andesite is not a type of sedimentary rock 
  • short term climate cycles include volcanoes, anthropogenic, albedo 
  • A water table aquifer is also known as a 
  • when maximum tilt occurs weather is more severe
  • albedo is also known as the reflection coefficient 
  • the goemetry of the water table tend to follow the topography 
  • a normal fault is when the hanging wall block moves down with respect to the footwall block 
  • felsic refers to rocks that have a higher percentage of light colored minerals and silica (sio2) 
  • the rock breccia always contains which of the following: angular gravel-sized fragments '
  • metamorphic textures include - foliated, non-foliated 
  • which of the following minerals is most likely to be abundant in a mafic igneous rock - audite ( pyroxene) 
  • the parent rock or protolith of slate is shale 
  • which of the following describes the configuration of an unconfined water table around a pumping well- cone of depression 
  • a common strategy to clean up groundwater involces determining the water table because contaminents flow with the direction of groundwater flow 
  • climate- long periods of time 
  • weather- short period of time
