43. Divergent Plate Boundary

44. What is being shown in an isochron map?

45. Ages of different seafloor

46. What is a difference between oceanic and continental crust?

47. Oceanic- dark, dense basalt rock/ made of silicates, iron and magnesium Continental- light, low density rock/ made entirely of silicates

48. What is occurring in the mantle?

49. Convection currents Hot less dense magma rises, and Cool more dense magma sinks

50. Explain what is happening along this curve?

51. 1.) Elastic deformations occur when stress does not exceed the elastic limit and strain is reversible 2.) Permanent deformations occur when stress exceeds the limit. 3.) If stress continues the rock will break, known as failure.

52. What type of plate boundary is associated with each type of fault?
1.)
2.)
3.)

53. 1. ) Reverse fault= Convergent 2. ) Normal fault= Divergent 3
1.) Reverse fault= Convergent 2.) Normal fault= Divergent 3.) Strike-slip fault= Transform

54. ?
P-wave vs. S-wave

55. P-wave- fastest, compression & expansion, travel through solids, liquids, or gases S-waves- slower, travel through solids only, move perpendicular to movement

56. ?
Interpret this graph?

57. Time-distance graph Shows average travel time for P- and S-waves, distance to epicenter is further with a longer P-S time interval

58. What is being shown in this picture?

59. Triangulation- locating the epicenter

60. What are the three different types of volcanoes?

62. ?
High viscosity and large amounts of gas will result in what type of volcanic eruption?

63. Explosive Eruption

64. What is being shown at each of the three arrows?

65. Top= dissolved load Middle= Suspended Load Bottom= Bed Load

66. What is being shown pictured below?

67. A. ) Deposition at point bar, minimum velocity B
A.) Deposition at point bar, minimum velocity B.) Erosion at cut bank, maximum velocity

68. What is the difference between delta and alluvial fan?

69. Delta= triangular shape deposit, river/stream entering a larger body of water, little change in slope Alluvial Fan= fan shape deposit, steep mountain slope entering shallow water

74. What is the range of cobble sizes?

75. cm

76. ?
What is the difference between these aquifers with respect to pollution?

77. The unconfined aquifer will be polluted because there is not a barrier protecting the water source
