Midterm Exam
Note: Please note that assessments in this course place
emphasis upon demonstrating maximum understanding as
opposed to meeting minimum standards.
1) (5 pts each) Define the following in your own words with
examples and diagrams.
· Isostasy;

7. · Lithification and Metamorphism
· Stratigraphy;
· Qualitative vs. Quantitative;
· Epochs and Eras;
· Paleaomagnetism;
· Subduction Zones;
2) (10 pts) What is Continental Margin? Describe the different
littoral and oceanic zones along with their biologic terms that
are classed here.
3) (10 pts) Describe the ‘Rock Cycle’ that is seen on Earth, with
detailed description of each of the processes and members that
form it. Give plenty of examples of each of them.
4) (10 pts) The Continental Drift Theory postulated by Alfred
Wegner was heavily refuted by his colleagues when it was
proposed. What were the reasons for Wegner’s theory being
opposed so heavily and thereafter which theory or theories
explained what was missing from Continental Drift Theory.
Describe the process in-depth.
Long Answer (35 pts):
What is metamorphism and what are the physical processes that
can occur during metamorphism? Explain in detail the formation
of Metamorphic Rocks on Earth. What are some of the common
features that are associated with metamorphic rocks and the
process of metamorphism? Describe the features giving
examples of the rocks that show those features.
Metamorphic rocks are formed either from Igneous or
sedimentary rocks. Provide at least three rock types that are
formed from each of the other rock types and describe them in
details.
