This document includes over 100 well-organized and fully labeled exam questions and answers from the GEOL /2026 Lab Midterm, focused on mineral and rock identification for Physical Geology. The lab-based Q&A covers essential properties of common minerals such as quartz (milky, smokey), biotite, calcite, halite, olivine, pyrite, galena, magnetite, and gypsum. Each mineral is described using key identifying criteria including color, streak, luster, cleavage, hardness, and specific gravity. The ...

This document contains over 90 detailed and fully correct questions and answers from Exam 4 of the GEOL /2026 Physical Geology course, with a strong focus on surface processes, arid environments, coastal dynamics, and geologic time. It begins with topics on desertification (e.g., the Sahel), dune types (barchan, longitudinal), alluvial features (bajada, inselbergs), and aeolian processes such as saltation and the formation of loess and ventifacts. The exam also explores shoreline and marine p...

This document contains over 40 high-quality, exam-style questions and answers from Exam 3 of the GEOL /2026 Physical Geology course. It focuses on surface water systems and fluvial processes, helping students master core concepts such as stream gradient, discharge, base level, and sediment transport. Specific terms like saltation, suspension, and rolling are clearly explained in context, aiding understanding of particle movement in both rivers and dunes. Key topics include types of drainage p...
