- sourcing from countries with different political and/or
environmental stewardship philosophies
.Which of the following are Set governmental policy on offshore drilling in the U.S.
not goals of the USGS
- Understand fundamental
Earth processes that form
energy and mineral
resources
- Provide inventories and
assessments of energy and
mineral resources
- Understand the effects of
energy and mineral
development on natural
resources and society
- Set governmental policy
on offshore drilling in the
U.S.
- Understand the reliability
and availability of energy
and mineral supplies
, The following mineral is diatomite
used to filter drinking
water:
- Cadmium
- Diatomite
- Kaolin
- Tantalum
- Zinc
what are the three types of mafic-basalt, intermediate-andesite, felsic-granite
Magma/lava
Why does granitic Granitic magma is a wet melt and the melting temp
composition magma rarely increases with decreasing pressure so that is solidifies as
make it to the surface? is rises to the surface, as pressure decrease
what happens to dry it further melts as it rises to the surface
basaltic magma as it rises?
where do shield volcanoes oceanic hot spots
form?
where do strato volcanoes subduction zones
form
cinder cones related to small vents and presence of
pyroclastic volcanoes are
ground water
fissure eruptions form plateau basalts
eruptions under water form pillow basalts
plutons form when magma body crystallizes underground
Large pluton examples batholith, stock, laccolith and lopolith
a very large igneous intrusion extending deep in the
batholith
earth's crust.
igneous intrusion that has surface exposure less than
stock
100 kilometers. smaller than batholiths.
a mass of igneous rock, typically lens-shaped, that has
laccolith been intruded between rock strata causing uplift in the
shape of a dome.
a large, lenticular, centrally sunken mass of igneous rock
lopolith whose surfaces are concordant with the enclosing
rocks
