LATEST VERIFIED UPDATE: ESS 101 A+ QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS.
_____ flows from Mt. Vestuvius obliterated the Roman city of Pompeli in 79AD
Pyroclastic
why does potassium feldspar deelop cleavege planes yet is a framwork silicate
mineral with all its oyxygen atoms shared between tetrahedra
this mineral has an alumium atom in some of its tetrhaedra which requires addiotnal
iconic bonds w/ potassium atoms
why do large jovian plaates have molecular hydrogen in their atmospehrs buthe
smaler terrestrial planets do not
the Jovian plates are further from the sun and the hydrogen gas can condense and be
held by gravity
Van Der Wal Bonds
form when there are weak positive and negative charges on the opposite sides of
molecules - form when electonrs are preferreitally aligned to one side fo an atom
resulting in a weak negative charge
Diorite may contain
0-5% quartz
Aphanitc (volcanic) rock composed of predominately calcium rich plagiosclase
and pyroxene would be classifeid as?
Basalt
A phaneertic plutonic rock composed of 95% olivine and less 5% pyroxene and
calcium rich plagioclase would be classified as
Preidottie- CHECK CHART
What re the two most common elemets in outer core
IRON (Fe) Nickel (N)
What type fo volcanic rock would incorporate welded lithic framents udring the
eruptuin
volcanic tuff
Plate margin in East Africa???
