If Earth had twice its present radius and twice its present mass, what would happen to your weight? Explain
What will be an ideal response?
If only the radius of Earth were twice, you'd have one-quarter your weight. If only the mass of Earth were twice, you'd have twice your weight. Taken together, your weight would be half.

Why are silicate minerals the most common minerals in the crust?
A) because oxygen and silicon are the most common elements in the crust B) because carbonate and oxide minerals are more easily weathered C) because their building block is in the shape of a tetrahedron D) because they include elements such as magnesium, sodium, and potassium
In the Mississippi River delta in south Louisiana shallow subsurface imaging of the sediments reveal buried channels beneath delta sediments that are less than 10,000 years, and these channels extend offshore to the edge of the continental shelf
What is a simple explanation for these buried channels? A) They represent giant flood events before the delta was formed and before the river formed. B) Turbidity currents cut a submarine canyon on the shelf before the delta buried them. C) They represent channels of the Mississippi river delta when sea level was lower, during the ice age. D) The river must have been bigger in the past, cutting a channel clear to the edge of the shelf below sea level.

Mountain building uplifts rocks against the force of gravity raising their potential energy, which requires work by the earth system Based on the relative motion of fault blocks, what type of fault would you expect to require more energy than the others?
A) thrust B) normal C) strike-slip D) There is no way of knowing.
