Question

: Ice meets the criteria that define a mineral. : Halite double refraction and reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid. : Quartz and potassium feldspar are important minerals in granite. : Pumice has few if any vesicles. TRUE/FALSE: In soil, the O'layer is the richest in humus. : windblown sand deposit or sand dune would not exhibit good cross stratification. TRUE/FALSE: Marbles are foliated, fine-grained metamorphic rock formed from mudstone and shale. : An angular unconformity is the discordant boundary between older strata and a granite batholith. : The Right scale measures energy released by an earthquake. : Earthquakes result from the sudden release of elastic strain energy previously stored in rocks surrounding a zone of fault movement. : S waves can travel through solid and liquid media. : Some large earthquakes are preceded by smaller magnitude foreshocks. : Wide floodplains and meandering channels are characteristics of downcutting streams and a youthful stage of valley evolution. : Stream piracy is now illegal in Canada. : An esker comprises till; smooth-surfaced, elongated hills shaped by the moving ice of a continental glacier. : Deserts and dry lands are concentrated in areas of ascending air masses and relatively low atmospheric pressures. : The offshore zone is periodically underwater. : An anticline is a structural geologic feature that forms an outcrop pattern that "points*' in the direction of plunge. : Domes are more or less circular zones of upraised rocks in which the beds follow the geometry' of a dome and dip away in all directions from a high point or apex. : A visible, parallel alignment of coarse mica flakes or other elongated minerals in a metamorphic rock is known as foliation.

Explanation / Answer

1) True

Ice meets the criteria that defines a mineral, It is recognized as a mineral by the International Mineralogy Association.

2) False

Halite is famous for its distinctive taste, but it doesn't exhibit double refraction or react with dilute hydrochloric acid

3) True

Visible quartz and potassium feldspar grains are the main constituents in a granite

4) False

5) True

The top, organic layer of soil, made up mostly of leaf litter and humus
