Mock Essay Questions

DISCLAIMER: I don't know what the essay questions will be.

but I have created questions I hypothesize might be on the test. I am posting these for those who might want extra practice on their written answer techniques, as well as a personalized way of studying details on possible test material.

What is desertification? How does it affect the surrounding land? What causes the desertification of an area?

Name the five different types of deserts. Where do they form? Explain their characteristics. Be sure to give examples of each.

Explain the difference between Advancing and Receding glaciers. What are their glacial budgets?

What are the general causes of global climate change, how do they contribute to the changing of the climate? What are the major causes of global climate change today? Which ones are natural, which one are anthropogenic?

What are the evidences and consequences of global climate change? Where do we see the most impact at?

What are the different ways petroleum can be trapped? Explain the differences between Structural Traps and Stratigraphic traps? Which of the two produces more?

Describe how coal forms and its characteristics. What are some of the negative effects of using coal as an energy resource? What are the pros and cons of coal alternatives?

Name the different types of Waste Disposal methods. What are the pros and cons of each?

Describe the different types of Nuclear Waste. Which of them has the highest radioactivity? Which has the lowest? Be sure to describe where each type forms.

Long-Term Climate Change

I tried to do a quiz on this new content creation site im currently playing with, these seem more formal than quizzez but I find it less fun but I already made the quiz so oh well. However for the select all that apply, worry not. You only need to select one correct answer and it will reveal all the correct answers for that question.

UPDATE: THE ACCUMLATIVE GLACIER AND LONG TERM CLIMATE CHANGE QUIZ HAS BEEN MADE

I should have the Mineral Chapter up no later than 6pm

Unfortunately [to avoid burn out] that might be all I post for today. Stay tuned tho!

Desert Classification

>What is a polar desert:

      >{perpetual snowline cover}

      >{intense cold}

      >{descending air}

           >:[Greenland, Antarctica]:

A polar desert is a desert that experiences intense cold with little rainfall due to the descending air flow of the region, this gives it a predominant snowline. These can be seen in areas of Antarctica and Greenland.

>What is a subtropical desert?

      >{largest dry expansions}

      >{subsiding air from global air circulation}

      >:[[T R A D E W I N D ]]:

           >:[Sahara, Australia]:

A subtropical desert deserts are a result of subsiding air from global air circulations. The daily temperatures in these areas vary, all the while experiencing little to no precipitation. These are known as the largest dry expansions. Latitudes between 20˚ and 40˚ are most likely to experience these conditions, such as that of the Sahara and Australia. Also due to their location they are also known as Trade wind deserts.

>What is a Mid-Latitude Desert?

      >{mountain genesis}

      > {related to a global rain shadow effect}

>     :{{Deep within continental interior, remote from the influence of an ocean}}:

            >:[Gobi, Asian Deserts]:

A Mid-Latitude Desert is a desert that consists of semiarid grasslands that are a result of a global orographic effect in which the land is not impacted by ocean air influence and rests deep in the interior of a continent. Such deserts can be seen in Asia such as the Gobi desert.

>What is a Rain-Shadow Desert?

      >inland desert

           >relatively close to ocean

      >result of rain shadow: when moist air deposits rain on the upward side of a mountain and dry air accumulates on the leeward side.

           >:[ Great Basin Deserts, Mojave]:

A Rain-Shadow Desert is a desert that is a result of rain shadow where the moist water deposits rain on the upward side of a mountain and dry air accumulates on the leeward side. Such deserts can be found throughout the Great Basins and in the Mojave.

>What are coastal deserts?

      >adjacent to cold eastern boundary currents

      >affected by upwelling    

      > costal margins may experience wet fog

           >inland air experiences intense evaporation

                 >:[Atacama,Chile}:

A Coastal Desert is a desert that exists near eastern boundary currents in which upwelling takes place. Although their coastal margins experience wet fogs, the more inland the air moves, the more evaporation the air experiences; this leaves behind extremely dry air, the driest of all the deserts. This is the case with Atacama, Chile.
