Geology 1403
Final Exam - Spring 2017
Draw a concept sketch that shows:
1. the interior layered structure of the Earth, including both compositional and mechanical
layers and the differences and similarities between continental and oceanic crust
2. How different earthquake waves travel through the Earth
3. Cross sections of the three types of convergent boundaries, including volcanism,
earthquakes, rock type, plate motion, unique geologic features, stress & deformation
4. A cross section of a divergent boundary, including volcanism, earthquakes, rock type,
plate motion, unique geologic features, stress & deformation, crustal age
5. A cross section of a transform boundary, including volcanism, earthquakes, rock type,
plate motion, unique geologic features, stress & deformation
6. The location of plate boundaries, shallow & deep earthquakes, and different types of
volcanoes
7. Types of faults & folds, the types of stress they are associated with, and their
relationship to plate boundaries
8. What minerals are made of and how they are classified
9. How and where the different types of igneous rocks (intrusive/extrusive) form, and the
relationship between formation and texture
10. Different weathering processes and the products that they produce
11. A table of grain sizes of sedimentary rocks (conglomerate, sandstone, mudstone) and
the different textures a sedimentary rock might show. Describe the relationship between
sediment texture and porosity/permeability
12. The process of formation of clastic sedimentary rocks
13. The stratigraphic laws (original horizontality, lateral continuity, superposition,
crosscutting, inclusions)
14. What causes high and low elevation
15. How the Greenhouse Effect works
