volcano
when a volcano is quiet for many years
dormant
According to Scripture, the three major events that affected the earth's surface were
a) time, erosion, and wind
b) the cross, the ressurection, and second coming
c) Creation, Curse, and Flood
C) Creation (earth was formed), Curse (earth was cursed and changed), Flood (earth was destroyed and completely altered)
Describe weathering
Weathering is the wearing away of rock minerals by the use of water, wind, or heat
All erosion takes a long time to occur
false
the process of one rock changing into a different rock
rock cycle
a large crack in the rock on the surface of the earth
fault
Scientists agree on the process of cave formation. They disagree on:
a) type of minerals involved
b) rate of formation
b) rate of formation
Describe chemical weathering
Chemical weathering is when chemicals react with a rock and change it's structure; allowing it to break down.
Rocks are mixtures of soil and fossils
False. ROCKS are mixtures of MINERALS
the property that describes how a mineral reflects light
Luster
igneous (This type of rock would be most common to find at a volcano because of the lava melting and cooling)
The Geological Column is actually a record of
a)time not burial
b) burial not time
b) burial not time. The rock layers that make up the geological column are proof of buried rock and sediment not of time because one cannot prove how long it took for those sediments to get there.
THE ISSUE WITH THE GEOLOGICAL COLUMN AND TIME SCALE IS THAT THEY SAY THE ROCK IS THIS OLD BECAUSE IT IS THIS DEEP AND THE ROCK IS THIS DEEP BECAUSE IT IS THIS OLD. THIS IS CALLED Circular Reasoning
Describe how earthquakes and volcanoes are alike and different
ALIKE: both natural disasters; start underground
DIFFERENT: earthquakes are shifting earth plates and volcanoes are pressurized magma escaping from the top of the cone
Weathering can cause a landslide
True
the color of powder a mineral leaves behind a scratch plate
streak
rocks that form under heat and pressure
metamorhpic (To morph means to change, and the heat and pressure change the original rock into something different)
At Mt. St. Helens, it was demonstrated _________
a) what could happen in a very short time with the right conditions
b) how the Grand Canyon could have formed with the Flood
c) both of the above
c) both of the above
If 75% of the earth (3/4 of the earth) is made up of sedimentary rock-- a rock that forms underwater from layers of sand and sediment-- what does that prove about the history of our earth? Why?
It proves most of the earth was underwater (The Great Flood) because that type of rock is formed under water.
Fossils are mostly found in igneous rock
False. Fossils are mostly found in sedimentary rock because they were pressured and buried underwater
eroded material that settles on the bottom of lakes, rivers, and oceans
sediment (Sedimentary rock is layers of sediment harden under water)
the point directly above the underground movement, where the earthquake will be felt the strongest
epicenter-- just think the center point of the earthquake is where you will feel it the most
Something is missing between layers of sedimentary rock that shows little time passed between the laying of them. The element that reveals a faster layering period is____________.
a) no igneous rock (rock formed from melting and cooling like lava)
b) little deformity, erosion, or root penetration (no signs of things moving and changing the layer of rock)
b) little deformity, erosion, or root penetration (no signs of things moving and changing the layer of rock)
This is a problem for evolutionists. They have no proof of effects of time such as erosion, roots penetrating the rock, or weathering (deformity) in between rock layers.
What kind of rock would be near a volcano? Why?
igneous because it is rock that forms from melting (hot lava) and then cooling
James Hutton, the Father of Geology, said, "The present is the key to the past."
True.
