    ENGG-0203 – Geology for Civil Engineers Score:

    1. What is the importance of learning Geology in the CE profession?


    The importance of learning Geology is to the core component of engineering
    analysis and computations. Will enable to understand and appreciate civil
    engineering by profession.
    2. Differentiate the theory of continental drift and plate tectonics.
    Continental drift was developed in the early part of the 20 th century, mostly
    Alfred Wegener. All of earth’s continents were once part of an enormous, single
    landmass called Pangaea, existed about 240 million years ago and began
    breaking up about 200 million years ago. Pannotia and Rodinia are the other
    supercontinents of continental drift. While plate tectonics is a scientific theory of
    the large-scale motion of 7 large plates and movements of larger number of
    smaller plates. It began between 3.3 to 3.5 billion years ago. The two types of
    tectonic plates are the oceanic plates and continental plates. The 7 major
    tectonics plates are the following; South American Plate, Indo-Australian Plate,
    Antarctic Plate, African Plate, Eurasian Plate, North American Plate, and Pacific
    Plate.
    3. How do you think land formations are created?
    Landforms are created by both endogenic and exogenic force. Endogenic forces
    are sudden forces such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and landslides. Exogenic
    forces include water, wind, sea waves, and glaciers, which generated erosive
    and depositional landforms.
    4. Why is weathering an important factor to consider in the CE profession?
    Weathering is important to engineers because it can help them to understand
    how buildings and other structures will be affected by the environment.
    5. Where is water stored?
    The water is stored in aquifers.
    6. What is the importance of learning basic concepts of earthquake in CE
    profession?
    Understanding the basic concepts of earthquakes is important for civil engineers
    because it allows them to design and build safe, solid buildings.

    7. In your own opinion, how are minerals formed?


    Minerals are formed in one of two ways: by cooling magma under the crust or by
    separating elements dissolved in water.
    8. Why is it important for CE students to understand the qualities of
    minerals?
    Civil engineers must understand the basic physical, chemical, mechanical, and
    electrical properties of the materials utilized in the building industry. Civil
    engineers must understand the basic characteristics of materials used in building
    to determine their quality, shrinkage, and swelling properties. This ensures the
    structure's endurance.

    9. What are the most common minerals found in CE construction materials?


    Crystalline silica is a common mineral found in materials for construction such as
    sand, stone, concrete, brick, and mortar.
    10. Discuss fossil fuels.
    Fossil fuels are derived from decaying plants and animals. These fuels are
    present in the Earth's crust and include carbon and hydrogen, which may be
    burnt to generate energy. Fossil fuels include coal, oil, and natural gas.
