Instructions:<\/b><\/p>\r\n
The first 12 questions refer to the slides we will view together in class. The 13th slide is a reference to help you with the test. Please use the space provided to answer the questions.<\/p>\r\n
1. 4 pts <\/b>What is the difference between catastrophism and uniformitarianism? Use each approach to explain the earthquake damage shown.<\/p>\r\n
2. 3 pts <\/b>How is the figure shown related to the history of Dubuque? Give three examples.<\/p>\r\n
3. 4 pts <\/b>Why does Minnesota have so many lakes? Explain three results of the process that formed them.<\/p>\r\n
4. 4 pts <\/b>Dubuque is on the edge of the white area at the center of the figure shown. What are two effects of what is represented?<\/p>\r\n
5. 2 pts <\/b>Were the rocks shown likely transported by water or ice? Why?<\/p>\r\n
6. 3 pts <\/b>What are three ways in the figure shown that the farmer has attempted to reduce erosion? Explain.<\/p>\r\n
7. 4 pts <\/b>What are the four ways elements bond to form minerals? Extra credit: <\/b>Name a mineral with each type of bond.<\/p>\r\n
8. 4 pts <\/b>Explain the process you would go through to attempt to determine if the mineral shown is a) quartz, b) calcite c) gypsum, or d) halite. Do not simply say which one you think it is. Say how you would check properties to determine which mineral is shown.<\/p>\r\n
9. 4 pts <\/b>What is the process shown? What are three other characteristics of water that result from hydrogen bonds?<\/p>\r\n
10. 3 pts <\/b>How do felsic and mafic rocks differ in (a) melting point, (b) density, and (c) color?<\/p>\r\n
11. 4 pts <\/b>James Hutton spent hours observing and drawing the rocks shown. What are two features he noticed that helped him develop the theory of uniformitarianism? Explain.<\/p>\r\n
12. 4 pts <\/b>Thought question: How does geology relate to the making of underwear in North Carolina? (Include at least 3 steps.) Why have most textile mills now left that area?<\/p>\r\n
13. 6 pts <\/b>Briefly summarize three stories from this section and explain their relevance to geology. (For credit, you must provide at least two sentences per story.)<\/p>\r\n
14. 3 pts <\/b>What makes a prediction scientific or not? Give an example.<\/p>\r\n
15. 3 pts <\/b>What is the difference between relative and absolute dating? Explain in terms of a brother or sister.<\/p>\r\n
16. 3 pts <\/b>What is radioisotopic decay? What is it used for?<\/p>\r\n
17. 3 pts <\/b>Explain the phrase, \u201cResistant rocks stand high in relief.\u201d Why do waterfalls occur?<\/p>\r\n
18. 4 pts <\/b>Pick one environmental issue Iowa faces, either discussed in this class or in the news. Why is it an issue? What is or can be done about it?<\/p>\r\n
19. 3 pts <\/b>What are evaporites? Name two.<\/p>\r\n
20. 3 pts <\/b>Thought question: How does geologic history connect to agriculture in Iowa? Show the connection through at least three steps.<\/p>\r\n
21. 3 pts <\/b>Phosphorus is a nutrient essential for growth but can be a problem when it pollutes our waterways. Explain why Iowa faces a problem with nutrient pollution. Why does it matter?<\/p>\r\n
22. 2 pts <\/b>Water contains hydrogen and oxygen. Oxygen has two isotopes, one heavier than the other. How does this affect evaporation? How can we take advantage of this to determine past conditions? (Think of the isotope dance.)<\/p>\r\n
23. 4 pts <\/b>What is the difference between a rock and a mineral? What are three properties of a mineral?<\/p>\r\n
24. 9 pts <\/b>Sketch and label the rock cycle, including the processes that form the rocks.<\/p>\r\n
25. 6 pts <\/b>What are three things that contribute most to you doing well in this course? What are three things that do not contribute or get in the way of your success? (Don\u2019t just put an answer and it\u2019s opposite for the two, such as studying, not<\/i> studying<\/i>. That\u2019s worth only one point, not two.)<\/p>\r\n
26. 5 pts <\/b>What was one review question not used on the test that you prepared for? Answer it.<\/p>","rendered":"
