Genesis Flood - Historical turning point - Biblical Integrity Flashcards
Magma
molten rock found below the earth’s surface
Deposition
the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment
Fold (in geology)
a fold occurs when one or a stack of originally flat and planar surfaces, such as sedimentary strata, are bent or curved as a result of permanent deformation
How was earth affected by the Genesis Flood
*All land animals and birds
and people died except what were on the ark
*the surface of the earth was totally rearranged.
Recede (Receding)
retreat, retract, back mean to move backward. recede implies a gradual withdrawing from a forward or high fixed point in time or space
Viscous (Viscosity)
refers to a fluid’s resistance to flowing. … As the lava cools on the surface, its viscosity increases and the flow slows down
Lava
Lava is molten rock generated by geothermal energy and expelled through fractures in planetary crust or in an eruption, usually at temperatures from 700 to 1,200 °C (1,292 to 2,192 °F). … When it has stopped moving, lava solidifies to form igneous rock
Molten rock that issues from a volcano or fissure.
Metamorphic (Metamorphosis)
denoting or relating to rock that has undergone transformation by heat, pressure, or other natural agencies, e.g. in the folding of strata or the nearby intrusion of igneous rocks
Global
relating to the whole world; worldwide
Orogeny
An orogen or orogenic belt develops when a continental plate crumples and is pushed upwards to form one or more mountain ranges; this involves a series of geological processes collectively called orogenesis. Orogeny is the primary mechanism by which mountains are built on continents
Fault
a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock across which there has been significant displacement as a result of rock-mass movement
Phenocryst
an early forming, relatively large and usually conspicuous crystal distinctly larger than the grains of the rock groundmass of an igneous rock. (Such rocks that have a distinct difference in the size of the crystals are called porphyries, and the adjective porphyritic is used to describe them)
Crystals in an igneous rock that you can see
What statements do you observe in Genesis 7-8 that teach that the flood was more than a simple local flood?
- blot out from the face of the earth every living thing that I have made
- The water prevailed so that all the high mountains everywhere under the heavens were covered.
- All the flesh that moved on the earth perished.
- The water prevailed upon the earth 150 days.
Guyot
a guyot (pronounced /ɡiːˈjoʊ/), also known as a tablemount, is an isolated underwater volcanic mountain (seamount) with a flat top more than 200 m (660 ft) below the surface of the sea. The diameters of these flat summits can exceed 10 km (6.2 mi)
What statements tells us that the Flood was Geological
*Fountains of the great deep burst open
*floodgates of the sky were opened
*rain fell upon the earth for 40 days and 40 nights
Water receded steadily form the earth
