Question
Chapter 12.2, Problem 13A
Summary Introduction
The length of daylight for each of the following latitudes on December 21-22.
Introduction:
The extension of some longitudinal lines takes place from one pole of the Earth to another pole. These lines are known as meridians, and the direction of north and south is determined by these lines. The horizontal or parallel lines on the map determine the direction of east and west; these are known as lines of latitude.

1. Complete the block diagram in Figure 6.20 by drawing a left-lateral fault on Part B.
2. Draw arrows on both sides of the fault in Figure 6.20B to illustrate the relative motion of each block.
On each of the block diagrams in Figure 6.16, determine the relative ages of the surface rocks on both sides of the fault trace (after erosion) and write the word older or younger on the appropriate side of each fault trace.

My sister and I were out for a walk when we decided to cut through the cemetery. I could not help but wonder why the tombstones below are so different. While both tombstones are roughly the same age, the top one is made out of limestone while the bottom one is made out of granite. However, the one above looks much older due to a difference in the rate of weathering. Limestone is made out of the mineral calcite, CaCO3, calcium carbonate.

Granite contains minerals such as quartz and feldspar. Both tombstones experience the same climate conditions and have been exposed to exogenic processes for the same amount of time yet they look so different! Some research into Chapter 10…arrow_forward
