33. • Low viscosity means that the lava would flow
easily. This would mean a low silica content.
34. How are the rocks
forming at A
different from
rocks forming at
B?
35. • Rocks at A are intrusive, they cool slowly from
magma and would have larger mineral crystals
• Rocks at B are extrusive, they cool quickly
from lava and have smaller mineral crystals
36. Most earthquake hazards are on the West coast.
Why do you thing there is an elevated
earthquake risk here?
37. • There must be an active fault in the middle of
the continent
38. Fossils that are used to pinpoint ranges of time
within rock layers and help scientists to correlate
layers of rock are known as _______
52. Which environment would be least likely to provide
conditions for fossil formation?
A dried up lava flow
A dried up river bed
A dried up tar pit
A block of glacial ice
56. If you are at a seismic station and there are no Swaves detected from an earthquake, what can
you assume about the earthquake’s location in
relation to where you are?
57. • The earthquake was on the other side of the
Earth. The S-waves were stopped by the liquid
outer core.
58. Based on the graphic, a Plinian eruption reads
what on the VEI scale?
62. Name one way a large volcanic eruption could
affect one of the spheres
63. • Geosphere – creates new land, ash adds nutrients
to soil
• Hydrosphere – ash gets into waterways and
sediment builds up, gases get incorporated into
water cycle causing acid rain
• Atmosphere – gases and ash are transported long
distances by wind, temperatures may cool as
some gases cause the deflection of sunlight
• Biosphere – living things are destroyed by many
of the hazards, food chains are disrupted
64. Which type of boundary is responsible for the
volcanoes in Hawaii?
65. • Hawaii is not on a boundary but is the result
of a hot spot.
66. What was most likely the cause of the events in
this picture?
67. • This tsunami was most likely caused by a large
earthquake under water
68. What type of metamorphic rock has mineral
bands aligned in layers as pictured below?
