If you were sitting in a kayak (NOT paddling) in the middle of False Creek (depth=5 m)
on a day when the wind had generated 6-metre long waves, what motion would you
and your kayak undergo as the waves pass by? Assume there is no current.
Give this one a try later!
I would make a circular motion, without net displacement.
Which of the following volcanic HAZARDS is the most likely to kill people, plants, and
animals?
Give this one a try later!
pryoclastic flow
,In slope stability analyses, the effective stress is ____
Give this one a try later!
- intergranualr stress
- the grain to contact forces resulting in frictional strength
- the nromal stress minus any pore water pressures
Based on the map of SW British Columbia below, we can conclude that earthquake
intensity in Richmond is likely higher than that in Vancouver because ______.
Give this one a try later!
Richmond is underlain by less consolidated rock
The strength of a slope is INCREASED by which of the following?
Give this one a try later!
cohesion
Folds are ______
Give this one a try later!
, plastic deformation in response to a compressive stress
Which of the following is the LEAST likely location for a volcano?
Give this one a try later!
transform plate boundaries
What type of volcanic landform is MOST commonly associated with Hawaiian mafic
volcanism?
Give this one a try later!
shield volcano

Which of the following mitigation strategies DISSIPATES or SCATTERS wave energy
while still allowing sediment transport?
