Most planets (like Earth) are chemically differentiated. This means that nickel and what are concentrated at the core and lighter elements make up the crust? - correct answer iron True or False. Most of the energy sources human society uses are the result of past life-forms that have died, decayed and become part of the Earth's crust. - correct answer True The processes of the rock cycle are typi...

Early engineering works (1900s) assumed that rock was infinitely strong (T/F) - answer-True What is the name of the phenomenon, typical of very deep mining, that describes rock effectively "imploding" in the excavation? - answer-Rockburst Photo-elasticity was used in the early days of rock engineering to look at how stresses were redistributed around an excavation. In terms of mechanical behaviour of rock masses, what was the underlying assumption of that technique. - answer-Rock masses ...
