Answer 7

The pacific ocean

Question 8

Associated with the volcanic eruption/ mixed with water, it will break apart and stop flowing/ a mass movement of rock fragments, soil, and debris down slope eons and eras and end in zoic- because these time periods were recognized by the animal life present at that time.

Answer 8

Landslide

Scientists are able to arrange the fossils they gathered ___

Answer 9

According to age

Question 10

Geologists separate time into period by __

Answer 10

Looking at the relative time of a fossil.

Question 11

Why are fossils essential to the scientist and to the history of the earth?

Answer 11

It describes the history of past life and environment.

Question 12

Principles to recognize the relative ages of rocks/ used stratigraphy method (oldest found at the bottom and the youngest at the top)/ used to arrange geological events and the rocks they leave behind in sequence.

Answer 12

Relative dating

Question 13

The formation of new crust from magma that rises to the earth’s surface between the two plate boundaries.

Answer 13

Divergent boundary

Question 14

Strike slip fault where in san andreas fault which is bounded by north american plate and the pacific plate.

Answer 14

⬆️⬇️

Question 15

Discovery of seafloor spreading

Answer 15

The crust of the oceans is very young relative to the age of the crust of the continents.

Question 16

Why are intrusive igneous rock typically larger than those of extrusive igneous rock?

Answer 16

Because the magma cools much slower.

Question 17

They cool down quickly/ they have small crystals/basalt and scoria are example of these rocks.

Answer 17

Extrusive rocks

Question 18

Diorite/ gabbro/granite

Answer 18

Intrusive igneous rocks

Question 19

What happenes to molten rocks when they reach the earth’s surface?

Answer 19

They cool down and solidify

Question 20

Slate and gneiss are examples of foliated rock/contact metamorphism creates non-foliated rocks/magma will bake the surrounding rocks due to different in temperature.

Answer 20

Metamorphism

Question 21

What are the effects of heat and pressure in rocks as there is an increase in depth?

Answer 21

Grain size becomes coarse

Question 22

How does temperature and pressure affect metamorphism?

Answer 22

The deeper the rock depth, the higher the pressure and temperature.

Question 23

During partial melting of magma decompression melt takes place.

Answer 23

Convergent boundary

Question 24

Water or carbon dioxide is added to hot rocks, the melting points of minerals within the rocks decrease.

Answer 24

Flux melting

Question 25

Factors of partial melting

Answer 25

Addition of volatiles / decrease in pressure/ increase in temperature

Question 26

Heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring atoms or molecules.

Answer 26

Conduction

Question 27

1. Heat from the earth’s core and radiation from the sun conduction in the surface of the earth affect the temperature of our atmosphere.
2. Air molecules come in contact with the warmer surface of the land and ocean resulting in the increase of its thermal energy.

Answer 27

Two factors that affect conduction on the earth’s surface.

Question 28

Why does radioactive decay play a very important role in earth’s internal heat?

Answer 28

1. When the radioactive element decays it produces heat.
2. Radioactive element can be found anywhere in the planet.
3. Spontaneous nuclear disintegration of radioactive elements produced thermal energy.

Question 29

Answer 29

Dissolution

Question 30

Rocks and minerals dissolve rapidly when water is either acidic or basic/ limestone composed of calcite is weathered and developed caves through time/ the crystal of halite dissolves rapidly and completely in water to form a solution.

Answer 30

Dissolution
