Hello sir I want to prepare for Geology Exam so here can you please give me questions and answer for practice ?

Hey as per your demand here I am providing you Geology Exam Questions Answers for your practice

Here I am giving you Geology Exam Questions Answers

Mass wasting refers to material moved primarily by:
wind
running water
ice
gravity

Which is not a sign of soil creep?
trees bent near the base
tilted posts and poles
water seeping from the ground
deformed rock layers near the surface

In which type of mass wasting might a house move with the least damage?
slump
debris flow
rockfall
avalanche

Which of the following are the most fluid of mass movement?
earthflows
solifluction
debris flows
slumps
mudflows

The most widespread and costly type of mass wasting in terms of total material moved and monetary damage is:
creep
debris flow
solifluction
slumping
mudflow

Which of the following features indicate former landslides or areas susceptible to slope failure?
displaced objects
open fissures
scarps
hummocky surfaces
all of these

Talus is an accumulation of:
calcium carbonate in horizon B of pedocals
angular rock fragments at the base of a slope
valuable minerals formed by selective removal of soluble substances
debris produced mostly by the activities of organisms
soil produced by intense weathering in the tropics

Downslope movement of a largely intact block along an essentially planar surface is a:
slump
landslide
rockfall
rock glide
earthflow

Which of the following is not a factor influencing mass wasting?
gravity
water content
weathering
slope gradient
all influence mass wasting

Which of the following factors can actually enhance slope stability?
water content
vegetation
overloading
rocks dipping in the same direction as the slope
none of these

Mass wasting can occur:
on gentle slopes
in flat-lying areas
on steep slopes
none of these
all of these

A type of mass wasting common in mountainous regions in which talus accumulates is:
creep
slides
solifluction
mudflows
rockfalls

The source of the energy that propels a landslide
steep slopes
strain in the rock
water lubricating the slide
gravity

Which of the following conditions would favor a landslide?
regrading a cliff to a more gentle slope
unusually heavy and prolonged rainfall
areas of horizontal rock layers
a stable natural drainage system

Avalanches:
stop when they hit level ground
cannot move uphill
travel only in straight lines
none of the above are true
