Document Summary
Exam 1 will cover material taught up through friday. Past lecture slides and readings are posted on canvas. Rock sample will have some parent nuclei and some product nuclei (decayed nuclei) T=0 : all parent nuclei ; t=infinity : no parent nuclei. After one half-life (t 1/2 ), parent nuclei and product nuclei. After two half life (2t 1/2 ), parent nuclei. After three half-life (3t 1/2 ), parent nuclei. After four half-lives (4t 1/2 ), 1/16 parent nuclei. Volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis all arise due to the recycling and movement of. Plate tectonics : deformation and movement within earth"s outer layer. Earth"s rigid lithosphere is broken up into plates. Volcanoes and earthquakes occur at the boundaries between plates and at hot spots away from boundaries. Transform fault : plates slide past each other. Expect different behavior from each type of interaction. Q: find a spot showing zones of divergence, convergence, and transform faults.
