Mathematical Basin Analysis Models

Assessment Mathematical Basin Analysis Models

1. _________ reconstructs heat flow histories used for basins formed by extension.

A .A backstripping model
B .A geodynamic model
C .A thermal model

2. The simplest backstripping model (local or Airy isostasy) assumes that the lithosphere has no strength.

A .True
B .False

3. One can determine the temperature at a given depth based on heat flow and:

A .electrical conductivity
B .porosity
C .thermal conductivity
D .bulk density

4. A time/temperature index (TTI) as a function of depth can be used to calibrate heat flow histories determined from:

A .the geomagnetic models.
B .the geostratigraphic models.
C .the geodynamic models.

5. The TTI model relies on the assumption that reaction rates double for every rise of _ in temperature.

A .1 degrees C
B .10 degrees C
C .50 degrees C
D .100 degrees C

7. Successively lighter oils condense out of the gas phase at successively shallower depths and pressures.

A .True
B .False
