What is Karst?
Karst is a type of topography at regions where surface landforms develop when limestone bedrock dissolves both at the surface and in underlying cave networks
Limestone
What type of rock uses karst?
Granite
What are the two types of karst?
Intra stratal karst and joint controlled karst
Kegel Karst and kangaroo karst
When does joint controlled karst from?
When water exploits joints of limestones.
In an Industrial area
How does intrastraital karst form?
It forms at depth below a nonsoluable resistant rock.
It forms in a factory
Is karst topography everywhere that limestone is exposed?
No.
Yes
Why doesn't Karst topography happen where limestone is exposed?
Karst topography can't happen where limestone is exposed because the climate is not moist enough. However if the climate is moist enough, then the ground water moves.
groundwater moves
Who created the theory of continental drift?
Sir Isaac Newton
Sir Francis Bacon
Inge Lehman
Alfred Wegner
Who is known as the great synthesizer?
Abraham Lincoln
Alexander Hamilton
Alexander Graham Bell
George Lucas
How many pieces of evidence did Alfred Wegner find in the theory of continental drift?
4
6
5
10
What is the the first piece evidence that Wegner found from the theory of continental drift?
The fit of continents
The fit of glaciers
What is the second of piece of evidence that Wegener found regarding the theory of continental drift?
Identical fossils
Many glaciers
What is the third piece if evidence that Alfred Wegner found in the theory of continental drift?
Glacial evidence
Glacial striations
What is the fourth piece of evidence that Alfred Wegener found in the theory of continental drift?
identical rock types
Paleoclimate zones
What is the fifth piece of evidence that Alfred Wegener found from the theory of continental drift?
What is the sixth evidence that Alfred Wegener found from the theory of continental drift
Polar Wandering
Poles were still and continents moved
Which two men found the theory of sea floor spreading?
Henry Ford and Thomas Edison
George M Custer and WIlliam Tecumseh Sherman
Robert Dietz and Henry Hess
Lincoln and Gutzon Borglum
What does the theory of sea floor spreading state?
The crust is being driven apart by convection currents at mid ocean ridges.
The present is the key to the past
What are the three major types of plate tectonic boundaries?
Divergent, transform, and convergent
Destruction, creation, and conservative
What sort of interaction happens at a divergent boundary?
the plates move together(destruction)
destruction, creation, and conservative
transform
What happens at a divergent boundary?
The creation of crust occurs
The creation of the mantle
What kind of interaction happens at a transform boundary?
Plates are moving horizontally past each other (creation)
Creation
What happens at a transform boundary?
Movement of plates
Are part of divergent boundary
What type of interaction happens at a convergent boundary?
the plates move together (destruction)
destruciton
What two things happen at a convergent boundary?
conservative and destruction
ba and ba
what are the three types of convergence?
ocean ocean convergence, ocean continent convergence, and continent continent convergence
oc co con, oc, convergence, and con con convergent
What type of convergence is this?
ocean ocean convergence
ocean continental convergence
continental continental convergence
Ocean continental convergence
Ocean ocean convergence
Continental continental convergence
What happens at a continental continental convergence?
Both plates are dense; one subducts under other plate
Oceanic plate is more more dense and subducts under continental plate
Both plates are buoyant and build mountains
What happens at an ocean continental convergence?
oceanic plate is more dense and subducts under continental plate
Both plates are dense; one subducts under other other plate
What happens at an oceanic oceanic convergence?
Oceanic plate is more dense and subducts under the continental plate
Both plates are dense and one plate subducts under other plate
What two forces causes the motion of plates?
convergent and divergent
earthquakes and volcanoes
ridge push and slab pull
Which tectonic force is this
Slab pull
Ridge Push
Which plate tectonic force is this?
Ridge push
slab pull
What is ridge push?
When a plate subducts
The force that subducting plates apply to oceanic lithosphere on the continental margin
df
Where does Ridge push occur?
at a divergent boundary
at the mor
What is slab pull?
When a boundary hits the mid ocean ridge
The force that takes place when magma rises at the mid ocean ridge and move to two different directions
