UNIT QUIZ: Unit 12 Review Quiz

Take this quiz only after you've gone over the materials for this unit (Folds, Stress & Deformation, Mountain Building).

This quiz contain 35 questions about the topics/ideas/concepts discussed in this unit and will be used to measure your understanding of these topics/ideas/concepts. Questions will be taken from both the readings and video resources presented in this unit.

You can take this quiz multiple times, but you'll need to get 80% or higher before you can proceed to the next unit. If you do not reach 80% on your first attempt, use it to identify your knowledge gaps (concepts from the video that you are still struggling to understand). Once you identify these gaps, go back to the reading and video materials and review these concepts BEFORE starting your second attempt at the quiz. Only the highest grade among all your attempts will be uploaded to the gradebook.

The essential learning outcomes for this unit are:

• Define three types of stress;
• Describe the differences between elastic, brittle, and ductile deformation;
• Explain how factors such as confining pressure, temperature, strain rate, and rock composition affect deformation;
• Define craton and orogen;
• Explain why orogens are typical settings for highly deformed rocks;
• Define strike and dip;
• Identify which kinds of stress are associated with various types of faults;
• Define and describe synclines, anticlines, and other types of folds;
• Describe how strike, dip, and simple folds are represented on a geologic map;
• Distinguish between a topographic map and a geologic map;
• Describe how a geologist makes a geologic map;
• Explain what kind of information can be shown on a geologic cross section.
