Short Response
Name the Deformation
100
The Law of Superposition states
The rock layer that is older is at the bottom, younger on the top
100
What is this? What name was it given?
A supercontinent called Pangea
100
What is the material that flows between layers
magma
100
the hypothesis that the continents slowly move across earth's surface.
Continental Drift Theory
100
In this picture, what is indicated at letter Q?
Fault
200
List the order of events from oldest to youngest
A B D C E F G
200
Who is this man and what did he propose?
Alfred Wegener. Created the idea of the Continental Drift Theory
200
magma that never reaches the surface is a deformation called ____.
intrusive
200
Describe the difference between absolute and relative dating
Relative age is the age of a rock layer (or the fossils it contains) compared to other layers
Absolute age is the numeric age of a layer of rocks or fossils
200
What is letter D and why?
Extrusion, it breaks goes through all of the rock strata and hits the surface
300
list the order of the events from youngest to oldest
K Q E W B
or
K E Q W B
300
Which is the index fossil according to our index fossil qualifying characteristics?
Ammonite
300
magma (lava) which reaches the surface of the crust
extrusive
300
Alfred Wegener supported his continental drift theory using evidence from...(list 3)
Landforms, fossils, and climate
300
What is S?
Erosion
400
What is older, Q or K? Why?
Q is older because the fault effected all of the layers besides K. This means K came after the even Q happened.
400
What do glacier striations have to do with the picture presented?
the glacier striations show proof of the continental drift because of the direction they go in and because it is evidence that these locations were glaciers in the past.
400
The process that transports missing material
erosion
400
What are the qualifying characteristics for index fossils? (list 3)
-Lived for a short period of time (found in one rock layer)
-Abundant
-Wide Spread
-Unique
400
What is G?
Extrusions
500
list the order of the events from youngest to oldest
M J D B S P L G C A
500
What is presented in the picture? Be specific. 
Proof of the continental drift with evidence of the mountains
500
What is the MOST exact way of finding the age rocks and fossils?
Absolute Dating
500
What is the difference between a Deformation and Unconformity?
Unconformity is a break in time in rock record that has a missing layer due to geoscience processes.
Deformation is caused by stress (folding, faulting, tilting) within Earth that changes the way the original rock looks.

What is D?
Intrusion
