HW#5 Interpreting Plate Tectonics from Topography and Rock Samples Applying your knowledge of boundaries to identify plate boundaries of two unknown continents. In this homework we are going to apply what we are discussing in class about the characteristics of plate boundaries (e.g. topography, earthquakes, tectonic activity, etc), the processes at these plate boundaries, and the rocks that will be found there, to interpret the plate boundaries of two unknown continents. You will be asked to complete the following 1. Identifying topographical features on a shaded relief box diagram PDF version of that single image available in D2L from the quiz page: 2. Identify characteristics rocks samples from each location (rock type and rock name) which will clue you in to the types of processes that are dominate at that location 3. Identify the type of plate boundary at each location 4. Predict the likelihood and distribution of earthquake and volcanic activity, based on your previous interpretation. This homework is intended to be a review for the upcoming exam, so recommend make sure that you have your versions of the rock cycle, Bowen's Reaction series, and the various concept maps we have been completing as you work on the homework. Also recommend reviewing previous homework and mastery quizzes as well. Pre Homework Questions ( 1 pt) Below are statements that reflect some of what you should be getting out of this assignment Before you complete the assignment, rate how true each of the following statements is for you using a scale of 1-5, where 1 is "not at all true of me" and 5 is “very true of me". These answers for these pre-questions are graded only for being complete (1 pt all or nothing) and not what your answers are. 1. 2. 3. I can identify igneous rocks based on mineralogy and texture I can identify metamorphic rocks based on mineralogy and texture I can identify sedimentary rocks based on texture and sedimentary features 4. Based on the rock type (e.g. sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic) and its appearance, I can infer the conditions under how that rock formed and associate that with a potential plate boundary 5. I am comfortable associating the topographic features and tectonic activities for each of different plate boundaries Identifying topographic features and rock samples Use the image provided in the pdf linked to the homework or here and the follow rock picture and descriptions to answer the following identification questionsExplanation / Answer
Answer
6. In location 3 mid oceanic ridges is marked.
7.location 4 has large sea lewel below sea level.
8.in location 1 hase thick amount of clastic sediments resulting in a wide continental shelf.
9.In location 2 has deap oceanic trenches.
10. Location 5 has relatively flat with thin layer of sediments.
11. The rock is metamorphic type.
12.Its granite.
13.it's igneous rocks.
14. Name of rock of sample 1 Gneiss metamorphic rocks because its show alternet bands.
Note- For getting rest of answers you have to separate post and mentioned particularly question its as per chegg policy.Because only 4 subpart answer.
