Plate Tectonics<\/strong><\/div>\r\n
1. Be able to sketch plate interactions for convergence, divergence, and transform boundaries. You should be able to do six sketches. Know example locations for each (e.g., Andes).<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
2. Who was Alfred Wegener? Who was Harry Hess? How do each relate to the establishment of plate tectonics? Be able to explain the patterns each saw. (See Birth of a Theory<\/a>.)<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
3. Be familiar with the essay about Lake Nyos. What is the impact of dissolved gases upon eruptions?<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
4. What are three indicators that a volcano is soon to erupt? Think of other natural hazards for which there are indications prior to their occurrence (precursor events).<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
5. What are the the three tectonic locations at which most volcanoes occur? What is a pillow basalt?<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
6. Describe the main events of the eruption of Mt. St. Helens.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

<\/div>\r\n
22. How do the east and west coasts of the U.S. differ from each other and from north to south?<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
Mountains, Basins, and Continents<\/strong><\/div>\r\n
23. What are four processes that form mountains?<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
