What is comparative anatomy?
When you look at the similarities/differences of limb/structures of animals.

What is H,G,F,E,D,X,A,C,B
2000
Ammonites, Trilobites and Brachiopods are examples of these types of fossils
What are Index Fossils?
2000
Same Structure, Different Function and Shared Ancestor.
What is a Homologous Structure
2000
When igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks go under weathering and eroding they become_________________
What is sediments?

Wide, Short
3000
Igneous rocks are categorized as _________ or _________, depending on where the molten rock cools.
What are extrusive and intrusive.
3000
Layers of rock is called.
What is strata?
3000
Different Structure, Same Function, No apparent common ancestor. Also Known as Convergent Evolution.
What are Analogous Structures
3000
The processes that turn metamorphic rocks into sediments

3000
A column or section of exposed rock is known as an____________
Outcrop?
4000
Name the 2 Types of Dating rock layers and Fossils and how are they different
Relative dating describes the relationship of time within the layers and Absolute Dating is an exact age that is determined by Carbon or Radioactive dating.
4000
This law states sediments fall in layers that are Flat.
What is the Law or Horizontality
4000
A structure "leftover" in a species anatomy but no longer in use.
What is an Vestigial Structure
4000
_________ and ____________ turn sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks.
Heat and pressure
4000
Any intrusion or fault that crosses over a layer is __________ then the layer it crosses over
Younger?

Define each of the processes in the sequence that evolve the rock to its final type.
IR = Igneous Rock, SR= Sedimentary Rock
MR = Metamorphic Rock
MR-IR-MR-SR-IR-MR-IR
MR-Heat and Pressure, IR-Melting and Solidification- MR-Heat and Pressure, SR-Weathering and Erosion, Compaction and Cementation, IR-Melting and Solidification, MR-Heat and Pressure, IR-Melting and Solidification
5000
The difference between Homologous Structures and Analogous Structure
Homologous - Similar Structure, Different Function
Analogous- Different Structure, Similar Function
5000

When metamorphic and igneous rocks go under melting they turn into__________
What is magma?
5000
This concept that states- The processes that changes the earth's land forms today are the same processes that change them millions of years ago.
