GEG 111 III HARPER COLLEGE EXAM QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS GUARANTEED PASS, Exams of Advanced Education
What is the order of the Geological Time Scale segments (longest to
shortest)? - ANSWEREONS—era—periods—epochs
What is examined in the earths lithosphere? - ANSWEREarths Surface and
Landforms
What fields of geographic study examine the lithosphere? - ANSWERGeology
(study of earth) & Geomorphology (study of landforms)
What are the layers of the earth in order from the surface to the center? -
ANSWERCRUST, (Moho), MANTLE (upper and lower mantle), Outer Core,
Inner Core
What layers of Earth make up the lithosphere? - ANSWERcrust and
uppermost mantle (including Moho)
What are characteristics of minerals? - ANSWERInorganic, Natural, Solid,
Crystal Structure, Chemical Composition
Determines a rocks physical properties such as
, Hardness, color, luster, cleavage, crystal form and streak
What are the phases of the rock cycle? - ANSWER1. Magma forms an
IGNEOUS ROCK when cooled ex) basalt, granite
2. Weathering and Erosion along with chemical processes cause sediments to
compact and cement together forming a SEDIMENTARY ROCK ex) sandstone
and limestone
3. Heat and Pressure forms a METAMORPHIC ROCK ex) quartzite, marble
The process starts over again and the rock melts back into magma, processes
are interchangeable
What is an Endogenic Process? - ANSWER(Internal Warming) Process that
drives the earths interior driven by heat
Folding and faulting shapes landforms causing volcanoes and earthquakes
What is an Exogenic Process? - ANSWER(External Energy) Process operating
at the Earths Surface by solar energy, water, air movement ex) Suns energy
Leads to weathering erosion and breaking rocks
Who was the scientist that proposed the theory of Pangea and Plate
Tectonics? - ANSWERAlfred Wegnear (1912)
