SWS4223 Exam 2
the 'moho' is - ANS-the boundary between the crust and lower lithosphere

the lithosphere is comprised of - ANS-the crust and upper mantle

felsic is high in - ANS-sodium, potassium, and silicon dioxide

what are the characteristics of felsic material? - ANS-continental, lighter, granite, lower melting
point

mafic is high in - ANS-iron, magnesium, and calcium

what are the characteristics of mafic material? - ANS-oceanic, denser, basalt, higher
temperatures to melt

partial melting is when - ANS-oceanic plate subducts under continental and only lighter minerals
melt out and rise to form more continental crust

what are the two types of rock weathering? - ANS-physical & chemical

examples of physical weathering include - ANS-expansion/contraction, frost action, exfoliation,
biota interaction

examples of chemical weathering include - ANS-congruent dissolution, incongruent dissolution,
acid dissolution, and redox changes

congruent dissolution is when - ANS-the compounds separate completely

incongruent dissolution is when - ANS-partial leaching occurs

isomorphic substitution is when - ANS-an element with lesser charge replaces the other in soil
particles to develop a net negative charge

why is rock weathering important? - ANS--breaks down & transports elements
-fertility of soils, composition of the oceans

what 3 factors contribute to weathering processes? - ANS-climate, mineralogy, CO2

What are the 5 soil forming factors? - ANS--parent material
-climate
-biota

, -landscape position
-time

Young soils (little accumulation & weathering) - ANS-entisols, inceptisols

Organic matter soils (surface A accumulations) - ANS-mollisols, histosols

Organic matter soils (wet, slow decomposition, cold) - ANS-histosols, gelisols

Organic matter (metal transport) - ANS-spodosols

Mineral weathering (accumulation of Fe, tropical) - ANS-ultisols, oxisols

Soil properties affect - ANS-nutrient availability, biological activity

What are the layers of the atmosphere? (ground up) - ANS--troposphere
-stratosphere
-mesosphere
-thermosphere

the structure of the layers of the atmosphere - ANS-sphere have temp gradients, pauses
between the spheres where temperature shifts

the highest sphere that the ozone is found in - ANS-stratosphere

reflected insolation/irradiance is called - ANS-albedo

what are causes for reflection of solar radiation? - ANS-white/shiny things and aerosols

what percent of insolation is reflected and what percent is absorbed? - ANS-30%, 70%

What absorbs solar radiation in the stratosphere? - ANS-ozone

What absorbs solar radiation in the troposphere? - ANS-water vapor, ozone, earth surface

How much irradiance is absorbed by the atmosphere? by the earth? - ANS-25%, 45%

the earth emits - ANS-short waves

the earth reflects back - ANS-long waves

the reflected waves never turn back to short waves (T/F) - ANS-true

convection is when - ANS-the earth heats, heat rises, and water evaporates
