unit 5 final

Question 1

The geologic processes that took place in the past are generally similar to those that take place now

Answer 1

unifomitasim

Question 2

sediments are deposited in horizontal layers that are parallel to the surface they were deposited on

Answer 2

principle of original horizontally

Question 3

In undirstrubed layers, the oldest layer is on the bottom and each overlying layer is younger

Answer 3

Principle of super position

Question 4

In undirstrubed layers, the oldest layer is on the bottom and each overlying layer is younger

Answer 4

Principle of super position

Question 5

Igneous intrusions and Extrusions

Answer 5

As hot magma squeezes into cracks and zones of weakness the cooling magma passes its heat energy to the nearby rock

Question 6

(True or false) Intrusion is younger?

Answer 6

True (the spikes come out of the top of the circle)

Question 7

(True or false?) extrusion is older?

Answer 7

True (no spikes coming out of the circle)

Question 8

Carrying away of weathered rock materials

Answer 8

Erosion

Question 9

A gap in the rock record caused by the burial of an eroded surface by younger sediments shown in rock outcrop by a wavy line

Answer 9

Unconfirmity

Question 10

Layers of sedimentary rock that have been bent or warped by crustal forces

Answer 10

Folding

Question 11

Formally horizontal rock layers that have been tilted at an angle by crustal activity

Answer 11

Tilting

Question 12

Crack of weakness in earths crust along which movement occurs during and earthquake

Answer 12

Faulting

Question 13

How can geologists determine which disruption happened first?

Answer 13

Law of cross cutting (a distribution that cuts through rock or another geologic feature must be younger than the rock or other geologic feature)

Question 14

Matching rocks and geologic events in one location with rocks and geologic events in other locations

Answer 14

Correlation
