Radioactive Decay Question
Company Logo
Well Question
1.As a driller, you are considering a location
for a new fresh water well. Explain the two
characteristics the geological materials
must have to produce a flowing artesian
well that provides a clean water supply.
2. With the aid of a fully labelled diagram,
briefly describe the conditions necessary
to produce a flowing artesian well.

Interaction of the Spheres
Describe how the interaction of two of
Earth’s spheres resulted in the formation
of oil.
Describe how the interaction of the
hydrosphere and the geosphere combine
to create the landforms of Earth

Mineral Test Question
Describe how a geologist would go
about testing the specific gravity of a
mineral
Explain what is meant by the Mohs
scale and how it is used to determine
the hardness of a mineral
Company Logo
Sedimentary Rock Question
Explain the difference in the
formation of a clastic and a chemical
sedimentary rock. Use an example of
each.
Company Logo
Igneous Rock question
Remember this chart
Company Logo
Metamorphic Rock Question
Describe the difference between
Regional and Contact Metamorphism
Explain how both regional and contact
metamorphism can occur at a subduction
zone.
Explain how sedimentary rocks may
eventually form metamorphic rocks.
Company Logo
Folds and Faults
Be able to identify them.

Layers of the Earth
Geologists represent the interior of Earth
as having different physical layers.
Explain the importance of radioactive
decay and gravitational forces in the
segregation of Earth’s interior.

Oil Trap Question
Draw a cross-section of a fault-type oil
trap. Label the cap rock, reservoir rock,
and the location of oil, natural gas, and
water. Indicate on the cross-section the
best drill hole location.
Can you do the same for an anticline trap
A large oil reservoir was discovered in a
deformed sedimentary basin located in a
shallow ocean. Use a labelled diagram to
show how the oil is trapped and indicate
on the diagram the best location for
drilling a well.

Fossilization question
Mold and Cast Carbonization
Petrification
Trace Fossils
Explain two ways a beetle could become
fossilized.
Describe what is meant by
carbonization.
Company Logo
Deposition and Erosion
Explain how groundwater can provide
both erosional and depositional
features on Earth

Evidence for Plate Tectonics
Recently, linear chains of volcanoes,
metamorphic rocks, and numerous
outcrops of rhyolite and granite were
found on a planet. Reverse faulting was
also observed. Describe three features of
the plate tectonic environment on this
planet.
A range of mountains is found on
Australia’s east coast. With reference to
plate boundaries, explain how this
mountain range may have been formed.

Evidence of Tectonics (cont.)
With the aid of a labelled diagram, explain
how hot spots can be used to support the
Theory of Plate Tectonics.
How can magnetic reversals and
paleomagnetism be used to give evidence
for tectonics
Alfred Wegener’s Theory of Continental
Drift failed to explain how the continents
actually moved. How does the current
Theory of Plate Tectonics explain the
movement of continents today?

Diamonds and Graphite
What is the same and what causes
them to be different?
