How do detrital sedimentary rocks differ from chemical
sedimentary rocks? Explain how the soil pedon contains all aspects
of mechanical and chemical weathering leading to sedimentary rock
formation (include all of the different layers and the different
types of rocks they would represent if exposed to the surface).
Discuss briefly how both sedimentary and
igneous rocks form and discuss the likely sources of the magma that
resulted in igneous rocks in Connecticut’s Central Valley.
2.
Classify the Sedimentary Rocks according to their depths and
evaluate them in terms of their usability as foundation, tunnel and
material (such as aggregate, anchoring, building block).
sedimentary rocks are a major source of crude oil and gas.
discuss the process on how crude oil is formed .argue this cases
for mining crude oil and petrolium products versers using renewable
energy such as solar and wind energy citing pros and cons
A policy calls for the elimination of the use of all fossil
fuels ; which of the following would impact this policy?
it would reduce the price of goods like electricity
it would reduce fossil fuel consumption beyond the socially
optimal level
it would maximize social welfare
it would result in the optimal level of greenhouse gas
emissions
57) The advantages of solar or wind energy are (as opposed to
fossil fuels):
A)they are non polluting B)the source of the
energy is free
C)they are found in nearly every country to some
degree D)localized production is possible
E)all of the above
58) The Endangered Species Act of 1973 authorized the United
States Federal Government to protect organisms listed as endangered
(in danger of extinction) as well as protecting the habitats of
those listed organisms.
A)True B)False
59)The idea that one's lifestyle...
"The world will run out of oil in 2030, and other fossil fuels in
2050." In the 1950s, a geologist named M. King Hubbert looked at
oil production data from all of the major oil-producing countries
in the world (at that time). Focus on the difference between the
supply and quantity supplied and demand and the quantity
demanded.
