Which of the following factors will make a rock behave more ductile rather than
brittle?
Give this one a try later!
higher temperature, higher confining pressure, lower strain rate, a rock type
prone to ductile behavior
If the hanging wall of a fault moves down relative to the footwall, what type of fault is
it?
Give this one a try later!
normal fault
, In the same figure below, which fault would you expect to find in a region that also
has a lot of folding?
Give this one a try later!
top arrow going up, bottom arrow going down
If an area of a continent contains a lot of limestone, what would you expect the
magnetic inclination of those limestones to be?
Give this one a try later!
nearly horizontal
Volcanic ash...
Give this one a try later!
is the result of explosive eruptions,
is the smallest type of pyroclastic material,
makes up most of a volcanic eruption column, and
can travel far and blanket the landscape
In the figure below, curve "f" represents the temperatures where melting begins for
"dry" rocks in the mantle at various depths/pressures (melting will happen to the right
of this curve; no melting to the left). Which curve best represents the average
geotherm
