- What forces and factors determine whether a rock faults or folds during the mountain-building process?arrow_forwardRates of tectonic uplift can be determined from the age and elevation of stream terraces, flat-surfaced deposits of streambed sediment that represent ancient floodplains. By dating the age of the terraces and measuring the elevation of the terrace, the uplift rate is the difference in elevation of the terraces divided by the difference in ages of the terraces. A terrace at 164 m elevation is 101,000 years old while another terrace at 111 m is 24,800 years old. What is the ratearrow_forwardThe rate at which the temperature increases with depth is called the geothermal gradient. What is the geothermal gradient in a tectonically stable region where the temperature is 119° C at a depth of 5.0 km? (Assume a surface rock temperature of 14° C.)arrow_forward
- What would you look at in a series of topographic maps to determine that erosion has occurred? O A widening of spaces between contour lines. O A crossing of contour lines. O An increase in number of rivers. O Wind speed and direction values.arrow_forwardA glacier is receding at a constant rate of 4.3 cm per day. After 35 years, by what approximate length has the glacier receded? 550 meters 1.5 meters 130 meters 55 kilometers 44 metersarrow_forwardRocks are sometimes used along coasts to prevent erosion. If a rock needs to weigh 2,000 kilograms (about 2 tons) in order not to be shifted by waves, how big (what volume) does it need to be? You are using basalt, which has a typical density of 3200 kg/m3arrow_forward
- If you wanted to live where the chances of a destructive earthquake were small, would you pick a location near a fault zone, near a mid ocean ridge, near a subduction zone, or on a volcanic island such as Hawaii? What are the relative risks of earthquakes at each of these locations?arrow_forwardDistinguish among contact, shear, and hydrothermal metamorphism.arrow_forwardThis exercise uses elementary properties of the Richter Scale. One earthquake measures 5.5 on the Richter scale, and another measures 4.5. How do the two quakes compare? The 4.5 earthquake is x times as powerful as the 5.5 earthquake. Need Help?
