Fault correct answers A plane in rock along which movement occurs Liquefaction correct answers - A process by which water-saturated sediment temporarily loses strength and acts as a fluid - When the ground is a poorly consolidated sediment or sedimentary rock with water in the pore spaces, shaking can cause the sediment to become like quicksand. - Dry/wet sand analogy Fractional Melting correct answers A mixture of molten and solid rock when the entire rock does not have the same melt...

ESS 101 INTRO TO GEOLOGY - University of Washington _ Laboratory 4: Volcanoes, Plutons, and IgneousRocks. Fall 2022. Score for this attempt: 11.9 out of 15. Igneous rocks form when magma cools, either slowly underground or rapidly at earth’s surface (i.e. near volcanoes). Magma cooling processes affect the size of crystals in igneous rocks. Bigger crystals form in slow-cooling, underground magma chambers, and smaller crystals form in fast-cooling lava flows/eruptions. To recognize eight common...
