Geology 101: Exam 1 Study Guide
__________ rocks constantly form near the floor of the strong Earth. - ANS-sedimentary
__________ rocks may be separated into extrusive, and intrusive types. - ANS-igneous
__________ rocks shape as magma cools. - ANS-igneous
__________ rocks form deep within the Earth's crust, and are "transformed" from other
rocks. - ANS-metamorphic
Aphanitic - ANS-high-quality-grained igneous rocks
Aureole - ANS-quarter of alteration
The ocean ground and lots of volcanic islands are composed of mafic (magnesium and
ferrum, for iron) rocks, which have a better density than granitic rocks. ANS: Dark silicates
and calcium-rich feldspar. Basement - ANS-oldest basis rocks forming the continents such
as igneous and metamorphic rocks
Catastrophism is the idea that _______. - ANS-Earth's landscapes had been fashioned with
the aid of sudden worldwide failures; Earth's landscapes have been formed abruptly with the
aid of unknown forces no longer in operation these days
Chemical bonding - ANS-formation of a compound by means of combining or more
elements, transferring or sharing electrons that lets in each atom to obtain a complete
valence shell of electrons
Chemical sedimentary rocks - ANS-form from induced material that changed into once in
solution
ANS-pressure applied equally in all directions; confining pressure ANS-expansive, flat areas
make up continental shields, no longer mountain belts. Covalent Bond - ANS-sharing of
electrons
Cover - ANS-sediments forming a veneer over the basement derived from the
breakdown/weathering of rocks or formation of new rocks thru chemical/organic techniques
Crust - ANS-continental crust, oceanic crust
Between the liquid outer core and decrease mantle is the D layer, an ANS layer. Detrital
sedimentary rocks - ANS-shape from sediments which have been weathered and
transported
Differential pressure refers to uneven ANS forces in various directions. Dike - ANS-a
tabular, discordant pluton
Earth's outermost layer, inclusive of the crust and uppermost mantle, is a fairly cool,
inflexible shell referred to as the __________. - ANS-lithosphere
Facies - ANS-devices of sedimentary rock with unique characteristics
Geodynamo - ANS-magnetic subject because of spiraling columns of growing fluid inside
the outer core
Geothermal gradient - ANS-profile of Earth's temperature at every depth
Granitic or felsic composition - ANS-Light-colored silicates, composed almost absolutely of
quartz and potassium feldspar, termed felsic (feldspar and silica) in composition, high silica
(SiO2) content, primary constituent of continental crust
Igneous rocks classification - ANS-texture and composition
Ionic Bond - ANS-contrary price
Mantle - ANS-over 82% of Earth's quantity
Metallic Bond - ANS-free movement of electrons
