-Guarantee passing score -13 Questions and Answers -format set of multiple-choice -Expert- Explanation Question 1: A rock layer in a sequence of strata. Marine sedimentary strata are assumed to be laid down nearly horizontally. Tectonic processes can tilt, fold, or fault strata.
Answer:
stratum Question 2: Standard accepted secular model for the origin of all stars and planetary throughout the universe. Suggests that a star system forms slowly from a cloud of gas and dust
Answer:
nebular hypothesis Question 3: A secular model of the earth's geologic history that classifies and arranges rocks in the time periods of their supposed formation from 4.5 billion years ago to the present
Answer:
geologic column Question 4: One of some 15 semi-rigid pieces of the earth's lithosphere that make up the outer shell of the earth. Most show some movement relative to adjacent plates.
Answer:
tectonic plate
Question 5: The observation that the oceanic tectonic plates are spreading away from the mid-ocean ridges and seem to be carrying the continents with them
Answer:
sea-floor spreading Question 6: Creationary theory of the continent's origin that suggests that the earth's crust was a single super-continent which broke into tectonic plates during the Genesis Flood and rapid subduction of oceanic plates push them to their current positions
Answer:
catastrophic plate tectonics Question 7: A process that is believed to occur as the relatively thin and denser oceanic lithosphere slides under a more massive but less dense continental crust and is bent downward hundreds of kilometers into the mantle
Answer:
subduction Question 8: Basic assumption that, in any undisturbed sequence of rock strata, the oldest or first-laid stratum is at the bottom of the sequence & the younger layers were placed in order above it
Answer:
principle of superposition Question 9: A naturalist theory that accounts for the shape and arrangement of the present-day continents by the slow movement of plates of crust floating on a semi-liquid layer of rock through many millions of years
Answer:
continental drift theory Question 10: The theory that the crust of the earth consists of a relatively few semi-rigid plates floating on a plastic or semi-fluid mantle. It is the fundamental naturalistic theory that accounts for most geologic processes that have supposedly taken place.
Answer:
plate tectonics theory
Question 11: A creationary model of the earth's geologic history that classifies and arranges rocks in the sequence of their formation relative to the biblical Flood. Divides the earth's history into the Creation Event, the time before the Flood, the Flood Event...
Answer:
diluvial geologic column Question 12: The forces, energy, and processes that formed and reshaped the earth's continents, mountains, and ocean basins.
Answer:
tectonics Question 13: Molten rock deep within the earth. When magma escapes at the earth's surface, it becomes lava.
Answer:
magma
