- j. {{subst:../Requirement/1j}}
2. Describe the following:
- a. A shield-type volcano as compared to a composite volcano
- b. How a glacier moves and what evidences it leaves behind
- c. How sediments are laid down by water
- d. The different types of mountains
- e. Why a river or stream bank often keeps caving in on the outside of a bend

- a. Granite
- b. Sandstone
- c. Conglomerate
- d. Slate
- e. Shale
- f. Marble
- g. Lava
- h. Limestone
- i. Basalt
- j. Gneiss
4. Take a picture or make a sketch of each of the following geological features:
- a. A bed of sediment that is coarser at the bottom and finer toward the top (This is called normal graded bedding.)
- b. Ripple marks in sand or mud (Show with an arrow the current direction if possible.)
- c. Gully erosion
- d. Mud cracks (These can usually be found after a heavy rain or flood when mud starts to dry.)
