I. Identification. Identify the word or group of words being describe in the following sentences.

___________________________ 1. The incorporation and transportation of material by a mobile agent

such as water, wind, or ice.

___________________________2-4. What are the exogenic processes? ___________________________

___________________________5-10. What are the agents of erosion? ___________________________

___________________________11. Dictates the ability of stream to erode and transport; controlled by

gradient, channel size and shape, channel roughness, and the amount of water flowing in the

channel

___________________________12. The volume of water passing through a cross-section of a stream

during a given time.

___________________________13-15. Styles of Erosion ___________________________

___________________________16-18. Where does Streamflow erosion occurs?

___________________________

___________________________19-21. What are the ways streams transport their sediment load?

___________________________

C ___________________________22. Size of the largest particle that can be transported by the stream.

C ___________________________ 23. Maximum load a stream can transport under given conditions.

___________________________24-28. The parameters by which a wave is described.

___________________________

___________________________29-32. Classification of wave by generation force.

___________________________

___________________________ 33-35. Types of Glaciers

___________________________ 36.The distinctive type of landscape which develops as a consequence

of subsurface solution. It consists an assemblage of landforms that is most common in carbonate

rocks but also associated with soluble evaporate deposits.

___________________________37-46. What are the two categories of the source of Earth’s internal heat?

Give examples. ___________________________ ___________________________

__________________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________ 47. Estimated internal temperature of the Earth’s layers

___________________________48. Core-mantle boundary

___________________________49. Inner-core – outer-core boundary

___________________________50. Earth’s center

___________________________ 51-53. Heat transfer mechanism

___________________________ 54-56. The places where magma can form. ___________________________

___________________________

___________________________ 57. The measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow.

___________________________ 58. He explained why certain minerals tend to occur together while

others are almost never associated with one another.

___________________________ 59. Will crystallize into pyroxene (with or without olivine) and calcium-rich

plagioclase ̶that is, basalt or gabbro ̶if the early formed crystals are not removed from

the remaining magma.

60. If minerals are separated from magma, the remaining magma is more _________________________

than the original magma.

___________________________ 61. A chemical process by which the composition of a liquid, such as

magma, changes due to crystallization.

___________________________ 62. Described in Bowen’s reaction series, quartz and muscovite are

basically formed under low temperature conditions, making them the first ones to melt from the

parent rock once exposed in higher temperature and/or pressure.

___________________________63. This may occur when two different magma rises up, with the more

buoyant mass overtakes the more slowly rising body.

___________________________ 64. A reaction that occurs when the crust is mixed up with the rising

magma.

___________________________ 65-67. Identify the three major factors controlling the viscosity of

magma/lava.

___________________________ 68. True or False: Magmatic differentiation is the process of creating one

or more secondary magmas from single parent magma.

___________________________69. True or False: The different mechanisms through which crystal

fractionation occurs are crystal settling, filter pressing, inward crystallization and flow segregation.
___________________________ 70-71. What are the two branches of the Bowen’s reaction series?

___________________________

___________________________ 72. True or false: Chlorite is commonly found in high grade metamorphic

rocks.

___________________________ 73. The pervasive planar structure that results from the nearly parallel

alignment of sheet silicate minerals and/or compositional and mineralogical layering in the rock.

___________________________ 74. True or false: There is a direct correlation between the grain size of

metamorphic rocks and the metamorphic grade.

___________________________ 75. Is it possible to find fossils in metamorphic rocks?
