QUESTION 25 Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding the Volcano’s found on the Tralfamadore map? 

  1. A)  The Basaltic type volcano(s) are high in iron and low in potassium, AND have Temperatures (in degrees Celsius) that range from 1000-1200

  2. B)  The Andesitic type volcano(s) have 55-65% SiO2 AND have an intermediate viscosity

  3. C)  The Granitic type volcano(s) are low in iron and high in potassium, AND have a high Gas

    content

  4. D)  The Basaltic type volcano(s) have 45-55% SiO2, AND have low Gas content

  5. E)  The Andesitic type volcano(s) have Intermediate magnesium and sodium chemical

    composition AND have Temperatures (in degrees Celsius) that range from 800 -1000

  6. F)  The Granitic type volcano(s) have 65-85% SiO2 AND have Temperatures (in degrees Celsius)

    that range from 600 - 1200

QUESTION 26 The inhabitants of Tralfamadore are concerned about their health and safety because of the volcanic gases that may be emitted by the various volcanoes in the area depicted on the map provided. Which volcano should they be most concerned about in terms of their direct health and safety? 

  1. A)  Volcano located at a convergent margin, since it emits the largest proportion of Water vapour which can displace the oxygen we need for respiration.

  2. B)  Volcano located at a divergent margin, since it emits the largest proportion of sulphur dioxide which can seep into the soil in high enough amounts to kill trees and small animals

  3. C)  Volcano located at a hotspot, since it emits the largest proportion of hydrogen fluoride which can displace the oxygen we need for respiration.

  4. D)  Volcano located at a convergent margin, since it emits the largest proportion of Hydrogen chloride which can produce a haze that can last for months and kill livestock.

  5. E)  Volcano located at a Divergent margin, since it emits the largest proportion of Hydrogen which can cause an increase in global temperatures as a greenhouse gas.

  6. F)  Volcano located at a hotspot, since it emits the largest proportion of Carbon monoxide which is one of the volcanic gasses that can cause the greatest number of fatalities.

QUESTION 27 The inhabitants of Tralfamadore are concerned about their future well-being and would like to monitor certain areas more closely. Which area do you suggest they focus their limited resources to monitor for potential future disasters? 

A) Location 2 as a Magnitude 12.4 earthquake has occurred here and could very likely occur again.

  1. B)  Location “v” as the direction of plate movement suggests that the plate could continue moving well into the future.

  2. C)  Location U as this is a location of a potentially deadly Stratovolcano

  3. D)  Location ‘’Z’’ as this is potentially the location of a ‘’supervolcano’’ similar to the area

    near Yellowstone National Park.

  4. E)  None of the localities on the Tralfamadore map should be monitored as they present no

    future danger

MAP INSTRUCTIONS
PART I Sketch the location of the following plate boundaries that can be identified on the basis of the distribution of earthquakes:
a) Show any trenches that you think might be present as continuous RED lines. (5 points)
b) Show any oceanic ridges that you think might be present as continuous BLACK lines. (5 points)
c) Show the location of any transform faults that you think might be present as continuous GREEN lines. (5 points)
Note: Be very precise in the placement of your lines for these tectonic boundaries.
Plate Tectonic movement direction reference
letter (For assignment Questions)
PART II Based on the pattern of depth of earthquakes:
a)
Identify where subduction is taking place on the map at the steepest angle from the horizontal (label this location with an arrow and with the letter
"A"). (2 points)
Identify where subduction is taking place on the map at the lowest angle from the horizontal (label this location with an arrow and with the letter
"B"). (2 points)
Can you recognize any location where there may be a "seismic gap"? If you think that there is one label this location with an arrow and with the
letter "C". (2 points)
Note: Be very precise in the placement of your 'letters' - The letter size should be APPROXIMATELY THE SIZE shown above (ie. ~18 pt font)
