Vocabulary
A huge mass of ice that moves slowly over the land
what is a Glacier?
This type of dating can't be used on rocks, but can be used to date things that were once living. It is not useful for dating things more than a few thousand years old.
What is Carbon dating?
When Noah's flood ended, a great volume of water was trapped by the Kaibab Upwarp. When it burst through it's mountain "dam", the huge volume of water carved this canyon.
What is the Grand Canyon
These are three kinds of igneous rock.
what are (any three) Granite, Rhyolite, Basalt, Obsidian, Pumice?
When rocks bend instead of fracture it is called this.
What is folding?
Natural materials broken down by process of erosion or weathering, can be transported and deposited by wind or water.
What are sediments?
These are five ways to date the entire earth:
what are "Chemicals in the Ocean, Erosion of the continents, Sediments in the ocean, dating the atmosphere, and dating the magnetic field"?
This kind of erosion is caused by the presence of oxygen in the air causing some rock minerals to change.
What is chemical erosion?
This kind of rock contains most of the world's fossils
What is Sedimentary?
When hot magma builds up pressure under the mantle and is forced out to the surface it is called this.
What is Volcanism?
A process of heat and pressure that causes one rock to alter into another
What is Metamorphism?
This Geologic event agrees with the second law of thermodynamics (or Second law of science).
What is the Fall?
Cavitation, plucking and what are found in rapid erosive processes?
What is kolking?
Slate, Schist, Gneiss, Quartzite and Marble make up this group of rocks
What is Metamorphic?
A broad area of relatively flat land is called this
What is a plateau?
An underwater, rapid deposition of mud that hardens into a layer of rock
What is a turbidite?
The flood caused mountains to buckle up. Which two mountains are mentioned as different in the book and what were the reasons given?
What are the Appalachian mountains and Rocky Mountains? (the first was formed earlier in the flood and was subjected to more erosion. The rocky Mountains would have formed later with less erosion)
Marble is this kind of rock
What is metamorphic?
Clastic Sedimentary rock is made up of coal and dolomite. True or False?
False.
Shale, Sandstone and Conglomerate is true
This is a process in the forming of sedimentary rock where the sand grains are pushed closer together, squeezing the water out.
A steep slope or long cliff that occurs from erosion or faulting and separates two relatively level areas of differing elevations
What is an Escarpment?
These atmospheric conditions after the flood caused the ice age. What were they?
Warm oceans caused lots of evaporation and condensation over cold continents. This would have prevented the snow from melting and it built up over hundreds of years.
What is oil?
This kind of rock can be both organic and inorganic chemical sedimentary rock.
What is Limestone?
This type of fossilization occurs when hot silica rich water surrounds every cell or replaces them with silica. Often occurs with wood.
What is petrification?
