Rocks are sometimes used along coasts to prevent erosion. If a rock needs to weigh 2,000 kilograms (about 2 tons) in order not to be shifted by waves, how big (what volume in inches) does it need to be? You are using basalt, which has a typical density of 3200 kg/m3.

When it comes to protecting coastlines from erosion, rocks are sometimes used as a barrier. In order for a rock to not be shifted by waves, it must weigh 1,000 kilograms (approximately 1 ton). How big (what volume) does the rock need to be? You are using basalt, which has a typical density of 3200 kg/m3.
A golden-colored cube is handed to you. The person wants you to buy it for $100, saying that is a gold nugget. You pull out your old geology text and look up gold in the mineral table, and read that its density is 19.3 g/cm3. You measure the cube and find that it is 2 cm on each side, and weighs 40 g. What is its density? Is it gold? Should you buy it? Draw also a figure or free body diagram that support the problem, and the discovery after solving it.

You pull out your old geology text and look up gold in the mineral table and read that its density is 19.3 g/cm3. You measure the cube and find that it is 3cm on each side, and weighs 40 g. What is its density? Is it gold? Should you buy it?

A seismic survey is conducted in a region with two layers. The top layer is shale, with density 2500 kg/m3, and seismic velocity of 2900m/s, and the bottom layer is sandstone, with a density of 2100 kg/m3, and a seismic velocity of 3000m/s.

Oceans cover 71% of the surface of the Earth, and have an average depth of 3700 m. The planet has an average radius of 6370 km, so that the oceans form a very thin layer overall! The deepest known part of the ocean is the Mariana Trench, north of Papua New Guinea and east of the Phillipines, with a depth of almost 11000 m. If Mount Everest was placed at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, it would still be submerged by more than 2000 m! Estimate the volume of water contained in all of the oceans on Earth, and give the result in SI units. Be sure to state your assumptions with your calculation. Oceans
During heavy rain, a section of a mountainside measuring 2.5 km horizontally, 0.80 km up along the slope, and 2.0 m deep slips into a valley in a mud slide.Assume that the mud ends up uniformly distributed over a surface area of the valley measuring 0.40 km * 0.40 km and that mud has a density of 1900 kg/m3.What is the mass of the mud sitting above a 4.0 m2 area of the valley floor?
