What is meant by the term path of rainfall from the atmosphere to the saturated portion of an unconfined aquifer? Can you recognize and describe the quantities you would require to measure or estima
Overall, the physical properties of minerals give a reliable means to recognize common minerals. Though, certain properties can exhibit a range of features or values making them less helpful for ide
Explain why are most rock-forming minerals silicates? As well, considering the composition of Earth's crust, do all of the non-silicate mineral groups make sense chemically?
The size of crystals in igneous rocks is usually a function of the rate of cooling. Though, within the same rock crystal size doesn't necessarily reflect the order of crystallization for individual
List out the physical properties of minerals which you can use to recognize a mineral sample by using household items AND explain in detail how you would recognize a rock-forming mineral by using a

What would you tell someone who wants to know why the study of geology is significant? In what manner has geology affected the way you think regarding your environment?
As we now know all too well, parts of the New Orleans were built below sea level -- the result of dredging and dike construction.
Describe volcanic hazards. Though commonly thought to be related with most volcanic eruptions (by the general public), lava is rarely responsible for the loss of life. Which hazards would tend to be
Volcanoes are usually not preserved in the geologic rock record as they are eroded away. Though, the different materials erupted from volcanoes are frequently found preserved in the rock record.
Review the five classes of technological disasters. Give real life illustrations, of how on a smaller scale each of these categories of disasters might take place and affect the project.
