1What are endogenic processes?
- AOriginate from within the Earth and act to increase surface relief by building mountains and other highlands as well as valleys & basins.
- BOriginate from the outside of the Earth and decrease relief by erosion.
- CNone of these.
2What are exogenic processes?
- AThe formation of volcanoes and other highlands.
- BOriginate at the Earth's surface and act to decrease relief by eroding high areas and filling in low areas.
- CThe pushing of rocks together.
3Compressional forces [blank_start]push[blank_end] rocks together. Tensional forces [blank_start]pull[blank_end] rocks apart. Shearing forces cause one rock region to move [blank_start]horizontally[blank_end] past another rock region that is moving in the [blank_start]opposite direction[blank_end], such as one block moving to the north and the other to the south.
- Apush
- Bpull
- Chorizontally
- Dopposite direction
4What is a reverse fault?
- ACaused by compressional tectonic forces and results in one block to be wedged up over the other.
- BCaused by tensional tectonic forces.
- CNone.
- ACaused by compressional tectonic forces and results in one block to be wedged up over the other.
5How is a fault different than a joint?
- AA joint is lighter than a fault therefore it will fall.
- BA joint is simply a fracture or crack in rock, while a fault is a fracture along which the rock masses on either side past each other.
- CA fracture is a small crack in the rock while a joint causes two masses to collide
6earthquakes are caused along a fault.

7Earthquake magnitude is a measure that represents [blank_start]energy[blank_end] released in an earthquake; earthquake intensity instead measures [blank_start]damage[blank_end] done by a quake.
- Aenergy
- Bdamage
8What is a sill?
- AOccur when magma intrudes between rock layers without bulging them upward, solidifying into a horizontal sheet of intrusive igneous rock.
- BA tubular, more vertical intrusion that cuts across the rocks it is intruded into.
9What is a dike?
- AA layer of magma above the earth's surface.
- BA tabular, more vertical intrusion that cuts across the rocks its intruded into.
10Plutonism and volcanism are alike because they both originate from molten rock material within Earth and both are composed of igneous rock.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
11What is plutonism?
- APlutonic bodies are solidified from magma and are made of intrusive igneous rock.
- BComes from the inner most core and cools the mantel.
12Volcanism consists of rock matter erupted onto the surface as lava or pyroclastics that solidifies quickly into extrusive igneous rock.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
13What are the for basic types of volcanoes and what are the distinguishing features of each?
- AShield volcano: Mauna Loa
- BCinder cone: Mount Capulin; Wizard Island; Shastina
- CComposite Cone: Mount Vesuvius; Mount Hood
- DPlug Dome: Lassen Peak
- EOcean Crust: Atlantic
14[blank_start]Plug domes[blank_end] are the most dangerous because when they erupt they will do so explosively.
- APlug domes
- BComposite Cone
- CCinder Cone
- DShield Volcano
15Most of the world's earthquakes and volcanoes occur with elevation.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
