GEOL 1403 Lone Star Differences Between Metamorphic and Sedimentary Rocks Questions

0 comments

Please help me answering all the question below before 11 pm central time

1.Sketch and describe the three types of stress.

2. What features develop in the shallow (≤10

-15 km) crust vs. deeper(≥10-15 km) crust (brittle vs. ductile)?

3.Sketch and describe (using labels) the concepts of dip, strike, hanging wall, and footwall relative to a fault surface.

4.Sketch and describe the three main types of faults using block diagrams, showing the relative displacement and the type of stress(use arrows to show stress direction)

5.Sketch an anticline and a syncline and use arrows to show directions of compression and the position of the oldest and youngest rocks.

6. Using a table, state the metamorphic rocks formed from the metamorphism of a muddy sedimentary and basalticprotolith. Include which are foliated or non-foliated and the associated metamorphic grade for each rock (low/moderate/high). Use the video lectures to help you, not all of the metamorphic rocks are shown on the slides, so listen to what I say.

7.Sketch and explain contact and regional metamorphism. Remember to include burial, subduction, and hydrothermal for regional metamorphism.

8. Summarize and graph the difference between high-T/low-P, high-P/low-T, and normal P-T metamorphism and their tectonic settings.
