  3. Well Question 1.As a driller, you are considering a location for a new fresh water well. Explain the two characteristics the geological materials must have to produce a flowing artesian well that provides a clean water supply. 2. With the aid of a fully labelled diagram, briefly describe the conditions necessary to produce a flowing artesian well. Company Logo

  4. Interaction of the Spheres • Describe how the interaction of two of Earth’s spheres resulted in the formation of oil. • Describe how the interaction of the hydrosphere and the geosphere combine to create the landforms of Earth Company Logo

  5. Mineral Test Question • Describe how a geologist would go about testing the specific gravity of a mineral • Explain what is meant by the Mohs scale and how it is used to determine the hardness of a mineral Company Logo

  6. Sedimentary Rock Question • Explain the difference in the formation of a clastic and a chemical sedimentary rock. Use an example of each. Company Logo

  7. Igneous Rock question • Remember this chart Company Logo

  8. Metamorphic Rock Question • Describe the difference between Regional and Contact Metamorphism • Explain how both regional and contact metamorphism can occur at a subduction zone. • Explain how sedimentary rocks may eventually form metamorphic rocks. Company Logo

  9. Folds and Faults • Be able to identify them. Company Logo

  10. Layers of the Earth • Geologists represent the interior of Earth as having different physical layers. Explain the importance of radioactive decay and gravitational forces in the segregation of Earth’s interior. Company Logo

  11. Earthquake Question Company Logo

  12. Oil Trap Question • Draw a cross-section of a fault-type oil trap. Label the cap rock, reservoir rock, and the location of oil, natural gas, and water. Indicate on the cross-section the best drill hole location. • Can you do the same for an anticline trap • A large oil reservoir was discovered in a deformed sedimentary basin located in a shallow ocean. Use a labelled diagram to show how the oil is trapped and indicate on the diagram the best location for drilling a well. Company Logo

  13. Fossilization question • Mold and Cast Carbonization • Petrification Trace Fossils • Explain two ways a beetle could become fossilized. • Describe what is meant by carbonization. Company Logo

  14. Deposition and Erosion • Explain how groundwater can provide both erosional and depositional features on Earth Company Logo

  15. Evidence for Plate Tectonics • Recently, linear chains of volcanoes, metamorphic rocks, and numerous outcrops of rhyolite and granite were found on a planet. Reverse faulting was also observed. Describe three features of the plate tectonic environment on this planet. • A range of mountains is found on Australia’s east coast. With reference to plate boundaries, explain how this mountain range may have been formed. Company Logo

  16. Evidence of Tectonics (cont.) • With the aid of a labelled diagram, explain how hot spots can be used to support the Theory of Plate Tectonics. • How can magnetic reversals and paleomagnetism be used to give evidence for tectonics • Alfred Wegener’s Theory of Continental Drift failed to explain how the continents actually moved. How does the current Theory of Plate Tectonics explain the movement of continents today? Company Logo

  17. Index Fossils • What are these? • Worldwide distribution • Short time frame Company Logo

  18. Diamonds and Graphite • What is the same and what causes them to be different? Company Logo

  19. Plate Boundaries Company Logo
