Which of the following will increase the likelihood of ductile deformation in a rock? View Available Hint(s) a decrease in confining pressure a decrease in rock temperature an increase in rock temperature altering the moisture content
Continued movement of the continental crust on the west side of the San Andreas fault could result in which of the following features? View Available Hint(s) a continental volcanic arc new oceanic crust an island an oceanic island arc a coastal mountain range
Which of the following statements regarding insolation is correct? (There is more than one possible answer.) Insolation is strongest near the equator and weakest near the poles. At the Tropic of Capricorn, the sun's zenith is at 90 degrees around December 21. Daily insolation depends on the angle of the sun in the sky and for how many hours. D In Orlando, the sun's zenith is never at 90-degrees. Areas north of the Arctic Circle receive 24 hours of daylight during the summer solstice, but at a very low angle.
The foliated texture of the rock (as exhibited by the banding of different colored minerals) provides evidence for the orientation of the maximum differential stress involved in its metamorphism. For this model!what is the direction of the maximum differential stress placed on the rock? View Available Hint(s) Along a direction roughly parallel to the orientation of the mineral layers Along a direction from the top to the bottom Along a direction at 45^circ to the orientation of the mineral layers Equally in all directions

How are slow spreading centers (such as the Mid-Allantic Ridge) and fast spreading centers (such as the East Pacific.Rise) different from each other? Select all that apply Slow spreading centers are often characterized by a central swell; fast spreading centers have no such swell. Slow spreading centers tend to have developed rift valleys; fast spreading centers often lack rift valleys. Fast spreading centers have prominent ridges and rugged topography; slow spreading centers have rather smooth lopographies Slow spreading centers have prominent ridges and rugged topography; fast spreading centers have rather smooth topographies Fast spreading centers tend to have developed rift valleys; slow spreading centers often lack rift valleys
