Exam on Physical Geology Assignment
I need help with a geo exam because I’m terrible at it and would appreciate it if someone could assist me. For the units we learned, I will offer all study guides and notes. It has 50 questions and is timed at 75 minutes. Monday, March 3rd. It’s 5 p.m. eastern time.
Lecture 16 – Rock Structure is the foundation for the units.
Earthquakes (Lecture 17)
Seismic Hazards (Lecture 18) How Plate Tectonics Became a Theory
Plate tectonics – The Sea Floor (Lecture 19)
Mineral Resources (Lecture 20)
The geology of the solar system (number 21)
PLEASE READ THE STUDY GUIDE AND SEE IF YOU ARE AWARE OF THESE SUBJECTS, AS I WILL NOT HAVE A SECOND GUESS TO ASSIST ME WITH THIS.
GEOL 101 – Exam 3 – Part 2 Study Guide
Mineral resource classification
Minerals are valuable resources.
Mineral resources are nonrenewable, and the rock cycle is sluggish
three distinct types of Resources, both metallic and nonmetallic, as well as energy resources
REE Conflict minerals are an example.
Definition of mineral reserves
The process of extracting ore, processing it, and refining it.
Smelting, tailing
Optional supply sources
Mining
- Surface mining is used to extract shallow resources.
o Overburden, squanders
o Strip mine, open pit
- Deeper resources require subsurface mining.
o Mineral resource processing: tailings, gangue
Examples
o Coal (methods, influence on the environment, ash, pollution)
o Petroleum and natural gas (origin, source rock, reservoir rock, drilling). Oil shale with tar sand
o Gold, copper, and other metals
Hydrothermal fluids are the source of this formation. mining in strips
Deposits of placer minerals
demand and supply
Countdown to depletion
Improvements in technology, the discovery of new reserves, and recycling are all strategies.
The science of the solar system’s geology and beyond
The Hypothesis of the Nebular
The Solar System’s Differentiation:
- Chemical: heavier components are found in the core, whereas lighter components are found in the periphery.
- Temperature: heated in the center, cooler as you move away from it
The makeup of the first nebula
- H2 (80%) + He (15%) + Other gases, liquids, and solids (5%), which are split into:
- Gases, rocks, and ices, as well as the temperatures at which they melt.
The solar system’s materials
Chondrites, achondrites, and iron meteorites are examples of meteorites. Meteorites are made of stony-iron.
Planets are divided into two groups: terrestrial and jovian.
The Moon of the Earth
- Density – silicate-based, origin
- The body is not shaped by external or internal influences. crater created by an impact
Mercury
- A rocky planet with no atmosphere (it’s too small, and it’s too close to the sun! ),
- Impact craters are the only surface processes.
Venus
- In terms of size, density, mass, and placement in the solar system, it is similar to Earth.
- CO2 clouds abound in the atmosphere; chemical erosion is the dominant surface activity
- Hundreds of thousands of volcanoes strewn throughout the landscape; vast rift valleys
- There is no active
Mars
- Similar in size to the Earth’s core
- Volcanoes (Olympus Mons), Bulges (Tharsis Region), and Rift Valleys are geologic structures (Valle Marineris).
- The best evidence for erosion from moving fluids on Mars is the channels.
- Groundwater and water stored in ice caps. Surface temperature is really cold.
- marsquakes
Active surface processes on Jupiter’s moons
Io is made up of silicates and has a volcanic activity 100 times that of Earth.
- Europa: The rocky surface is covered by a frozen ocean.
Active surface processes on Saturn’s moon
- Titan has a dense atmosphere with 95 percent nitrogen, 3% CH4, 2% H, and 1% Ar. Temperature at the surface is -179°C.
- Enceladus’ ice surface is regenerating at the solar system’s edge
Pluto + Kuiper Belt
Cloud of Oort
General factors for geologic processes in the solar system:
- Craters left by the impact
- Surface-related processes
- Deformation of structures due to internal pressures
- Volcanoes of many sorts (Shield, stratovolcanoes, cinder cones, Corona, and Cryovolcanoes) Exoplanets –

Planet’s detection: trappist1 planets as an example of a transit approach.
What do we know about the geology of exoplanets?

Content (worth a maximum of 50% of the total points) |
Zero points: Student failed to submit the final paper. |
20 points out of 50: The essay illustrates poor understanding of the relevant material by failing to address or incorrectly addressing the relevant content; failing to identify or inaccurately explaining/defining key concepts/ideas; ignoring or incorrectly explaining key points/claims and the reasoning behind them; and/or incorrectly or inappropriately using terminology; and elements of the response are lacking. |
30 points out of 50: The essay illustrates a rudimentary understanding of the relevant material by mentioning but not full explaining the relevant content; identifying some of the key concepts/ideas though failing to fully or accurately explain many of them; using terminology, though sometimes inaccurately or inappropriately; and/or incorporating some key claims/points but failing to explain the reasoning behind them or doing so inaccurately. Elements of the required response may also be lacking. |
40 points out of 50: The essay illustrates solid understanding of the relevant material by correctly addressing most of the relevant content; identifying and explaining most of the key concepts/ideas; using correct terminology; explaining the reasoning behind most of the key points/claims; and/or where necessary or useful, substantiating some points with accurate examples. The answer is complete. |
50 points: The essay illustrates exemplary understanding of the relevant material by thoroughly and correctly addressing the relevant content; identifying and explaining all of the key concepts/ideas; using correct terminology explaining the reasoning behind key points/claims and substantiating, as necessary/useful, points with several accurate and illuminating examples. No aspects of the required answer are missing. |
Use of Sources (worth a maximum of 20% of the total points). |
