问题 综合

某学校的同学在地理教师的带领下,对下图所示地区进行了野外考察。请你根据所学知识完成下列问题。(12分)

(1)在三大类岩石中,________________在该地区分布最广。

(2)从河谷向东翻过山岭和谷地,在地质构造上依次是___   ______

和___________________________。

(3)该河谷是否适合修建水库?为什么?

(4)如果该地区的植被受到破坏,对河流的影响是________________________________________________________________。

答案

(1)沉积岩(2分)

(2)向斜(2分)     背斜(2分)

(3)不宜(2分)河谷地带有断层,修建水库可能诱发断层活动,产生地震、滑坡等不良后果(2分) 

(4)流量增大、含沙量增加、河道淤积、河床变浅等(4分)

本题考查地质构造和地形的综合判读。(1)图示岩石的分布具有层理结构,判断为沉积岩。(2)中间岩层向下凹判断为向斜;中间岩层向上拱起,判断为背斜;(3)图示河谷断层发育,故地壳运动较活跃,且基底为破碎带,故可能漏水,故不宜建水库。(4)图示山谷坡度较陡,若植被破坏,可能到时水土流失加重,则河流含沙量加大,且泥沙淤积,则河床抬升;且由于植被具有涵养水源的能力,故河流流量的季节变化将加大。

填空题

Long before man lived on the Earth, there were fishes, reptiles, birds, insects, and some mammals. Although some of these animals were ancestors of kinds living today, others are now extinct, that is, they have no descendants alive now. Nevertheless, we know a great deal about many of them because their bones and shells have been preserved in the rocks as fossils.

41.______That kind of rock in which the remains are found tells us much about the nature of the original land, often of the plants that grew on it, and even of its climate.

When an animal dies, the body, its bones, or shell, may often be carried away by streams into lakes or the sea and there get covered up by mud. If the animal lived in the sea its body would probably sink and be covered with mud. More and more mud would fall upon it until the bones or shell become embedded and preserved. 42.______Thus it follows that there must be many kinds of mammals, birds, and insects of which we know nothing,

43.______Later forms are more complex, and among these are the sea-lilies, relations of the star-fishes, which had long arms and were attached by a long stalk to the sea bed, or to rocks. There were also crab-like creatures, whose bodies were covered with a horny substance, The body segments each had two pairs of legs, one pair for walking on the sandy bottom, the other for swimming. The head was a kind of shield with a pair of compound eyes, often with thousands of lenses. They were usually an inch or two long but some were 2 feet.

The shellfish have a long history in the rock and many different kinds are known. Of these, the ammonites are very interesting and important. They have a shell composed of many chambers, each representing a temporary home of the animal. As the young grew larger it grew a new chamber and sealed off the previous one. Thousands of these can be seen in the rocks on the Dorset Coast.

The first animals with true backbones were fishes, first known in the rocks of 375 million years ago. About 300 million years ago the amphibians, the animals able to live both on land and in water, appeared. They were giant, sometimes 8 feet long, and many of them lived in the swampy pools in which our coal seam, or layer, formed. 44.______About 75 million years ago the Age of Reptiles was over and most of the groups died out. The mammals quickly developed, and we can trace the evolution of many familiar animals such as the elephant and horse. 45.______

[A] The best index fossils tend to be marine creatures. These animals evolved rapidly and spread over large areas of the world.

[B] The amphibians gave rise to the reptiles and for nearly 150 million years these were the principal forms of life on land, in the sea, and in the air.

[C] Many of the later mammals, though now extinct, were known to primitive man and were featured by him in cave paintings and on bone carvings.

[D] Nearly all of the fossils that we know were preserved in rocks formed by water action, and most of these are of animals that lived in or near water.

[E] The earliest animals whose remains have been found were all very simple kinds and lived in the sea.

[F] Many factors can influence how fossils are preserved in rocks. Remains of an organism may be replaced by minerals, dissolved by an acidic solution to leave only their impression, or simply reduced to a more stable form.

[G] From them we can tell their size and shape, how they walked, the kind of food they ate. Very occasionally the rocks show impression of skin, so that, apart from color, we can build up a reasonably accurate picture of an animal that died millions of years ago.
