Whether you have specific career goals or not, you can effectively plan your search for a full-time job.  

Which plate’s crust has more felsic rock?

*Bonus* What kind of fault is the feature labeled I in Figure 12? Hint: the right side of the fault is pushed up relative to the left.

Using the seismic wave arrival plot above, determine the distance each station sits from the epicenter.   Figure 6. Seismic wave arrival time plot.  

On the y axis in Figure 24, zero is set as the 1901-1960 (historical) average. In the past two decades (2000-2020) how many years had observed annual average temperatures above the historical average?

Match the rock type to the rock shown in Figure 13.

Figure 9. Illustrations of different types of crustal deformation.   Find the picture above that best represents the type of faulting along the Wasatch Front here in Utah.

In general, what type of faults would you expect to find most of at the plate boundary shown in the image? Think about the stresses caused by the plate motion shown above and how that influences faulting.

Figure 10. USGS Shake Map (intensity) for the 2020 Magna earthquake. Figure 11. USGS Shake Map (intensity) for the 2020 Sand Point, Alaska earthquake.   On April 18th 2020, a magnitude 5.7 (moment magnitude scale) earthquake rattled people along the Wasatch Front and caused damage in Magna, Utah (Figure 10). A few months later, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake was recorded off of the Alaska Peninsula (Figure 11). Roughly how much more energy was released in the Alaska earthquake vs. the Magna earthquake?  

Is the speed you calculated in the previous question fast or slow compared to the average rate of plate motion (2 cm/yr)?
