Early engineering works (1900s) assumed that rock was infinitely strong (T/F) - answer-True What is the name of the phenomenon, typical of very deep mining, that describes rock effectively "imploding" in the excavation? - answer-Rockburst Photo-elasticity was used in the early days of rock engineering to look at how stresses were redistributed around an excavation. In terms of mechanical behaviour of rock masses, what was the underlying assumption of that technique. - answer-Rock masses ...

PHSC 211 Exam #1 Short Answer questions and answers 100% correct Volcanic Activity creates two main types of deposits that can form igneous rocks. What are they? Lava flows and pyroclastic material List the four sizes and measurements of pyroclastic material 1) Volcanic Ash <2mm 2) Lapilli >2mm <64mm 3)Blocks >64mm, ejected solids 4)Bombs >64mm, ejected molten material If ocean crust is rich in ferromagnesian minerals, what type of rocks are on the ocean floor?...
