Document Summary

Shortening: tension causes stretching, compression causes shortening, difference between joint and fault, joints and faults are types of fractures. A joint is a fracture along which no movement has taken place, usually caused by tensional forces. A fault is a fracture or break in the rock along which movement has taken place. One might expect more earthquakes to occur near faults: types of faults (dip-slip, strike-slip: normal, reverse, thrust, strike-slip, horizontal movement of faults, if rock on far side moves to the left, it is left lateral. In a rock sample, the ratio of an unstable isotope to its stable isotope is 1/3. The half-life of the reaction is 50 million years. Give example: loss of vegetation/ wildlife, drought, explain the mechanism by which cave and karst topography is formed, explain wave refraction along coastline. 2-4 km depth: types of oil traps?
