ES 10 -Lectures 25 and 26

Partial Review of Course

David Sandwell


The course covers a wide range of material and one cannot be expected to know everything that was discussed in lectures. During these two review lectures, I tried to highlight things that will be on the exam and also point out things that will not be on the exam.

The table below shows where answers to the questions on the exam can be found in the book. This should serve as a study guide. There are many questions on plate tectonics so if you have time read This Dynamic Earth.

The asterisk (*) in the table below indicates topics covered during the in-class review sessions.
