GOL 105 EXAM 2 EXAM WITH CORRECT
ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECTLY
WELL DEFINED ANSWERS LATEST
ALREADY GRADED A+
Ductile vs. brittle deformation - ANSWERS-Ductile- creates
folds (like a twizzler)
Brittle- it creates faults or cracks in the rock
apply stress and then it breaks (like a kitkat)
Types of stress - ANSWERS-
Effects of stress - ANSWERS-
History of the Appalachians - ANSWERS-4 orogenies (1.
Greenville- collisional 2. Taconic- accretionary 3. Acadian-
accretionary) 4. Alleghanian- collisional)
, Types of seismic waves - ANSWERS-L waves, P waves, S
waves and R waves
L waves - ANSWERS-The L (Love) waves move through rock
solids on the surface. It causes the ground to move in a
snake-like motion.
R waves - ANSWERS-The R (Rayleigh) waves move through
solids at the surface. It causes the ground to wave in an up
and down, rolling motion.
S waves - ANSWERS-The S (shear) waves travel a little
slower than P waves and arrive after the P waves. They can
only go through solids only; they bounce off when they
reach liquids. It is an up and down motion and the particle
motion is perpendicular to the wave travel.
P waves - ANSWERS-The P (pressure) waves travel really fast
and arrive before the S waves. They can travel through
anything; solids, liquids and gas. The particle motion is in
the direction that the wave travels.
focus vs. epicenter - ANSWERS-Focus: underground location
of rock rupture and split
