What is radiometric decay?

A process where the atom breaks apart, gives off energy, and changes its element

Time it takes for half of the parent isotopes to decay into daughter isotopes

A process where the atom breaks apart, gives off energy, and changes its element

How do we use these ideas to find the passage of time? (Relative Dating, Absolute Dating, Radiometric Decay, Half-Life)

To predict the relative ages of rocks using principles of Geology

How does radiometric decay test the Geologic Time Scale?

Energy given off during decay can then be detected and measured

What features does a body fossil have?

All or part of an organism's body (Shells, bones, skeletons, leaves)

Sign of biological activity preserved in a rock (Footprints, burrows, feces)

What feature(s) does a trace fossil have?

Sign of biological activity preserved in a rock (Footprints, burrows, feces)

All or part of an organism's body (Shells, bones, skeletons, leaves)

Where do we look to find fossils?

Modern environment where erosion occurs faster than deposition

What are lagerstatten?

Places that preserve delicate features

Sign of a biological activity preserved in a rock

Describe examples of an Arthropod:

Jointed legs with a suit of armor

How did the Solar System form according to the Nebular Hypothesis?

Solar system formed via a vast cloud of gas and dust condensing w/ atoms fusing together

What are stromatolites?

Layers of single-celled photosynthetic cyanobacteria

How did oxygen accumulate in the atmosphere and why did it take this long?

Earliest life forms produced oxygen slowly

Produced by ancestors of modern cyanobacteria

Oxygen had to saturate the ocean

Iron absorbed oxygen from the ocean into BIFs

What caused "Snowball Earth" (both the setup and the "runaway" effect)? How did Earth get out of the Snowball stage?

Glaciers caused ice to reflect sunlight and heat back into space

Intense volcanic activity from breakup of Rodinia, produced carbon dioxide

Rocks buried in ice could not absorb carbon dioxide

Rodinia moved away from equator

How do trace fossils change from the Proterozoic to the Phanerozoic (Ediacaran to Cambrian)?

Sediment marks were penetrated deeper

Sediment marks were penetrated shorter

Please match each part of the Earth within its origin. Choose the best option for each one. VOLCANIC GAS, ACCRETION, MARS-SIZED IMPACTOR, COMETS, PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND CHEMOSYNTHESIS Atmosphere: Continents: Moon: Ocean: Oxygen:

Volcanic Gas, Accretion, Mars-sized impactor, Comets, Photosynthesis and chemosynthesis

Please put these events in order with the OLDEST at the bottom and the YOUNGEST at the top. (Left to right)

Oxygen accumulates in atmosphere

Please select all the statements that are TRUE about life in the Precambrian

The Ediacaran Fauna was made of soft-bodied animals

The Small Shelly Fauna came millions of years after the Ediacaran Fauna

The first fossils are found in the Hadean Eon

The first trace fossils were made by animals that could burrow deep into the sediment

Multicellular life appeared early in the Archaean Eon

Please match each definition to the correct term. NEBULAR HYPOTHESIS, ACCRETION, ENDOSYMBIOTIC THEORY, CHEMOSYNTHESIS, PHOTOSYNTHESIS Cloud of dust and gas condenses to form the Solar System: Island arcs and microcontinents weld together as tectonic plates move: A large prokaryote swallows but fails to digest a small prokaryote: Producing sugars and oxygen from CHEMICAL energy: Producing sugars and oxygen from LIGHT energy:

Nebular Hypothesis, Accretion, Endosymbiotic Theory, Chemosynthesis, Photosynthesis

Fill in the Blanks. Please complete this summary of Snowball Earth using the terms below. Each term is used NO MORE THAN ONCE. ABSORB, COOLER, DROPSTONES, EQUATOR, GREENHOUSE, ICEBERGS, ICEHOUSE, WARMER, POLES, PRODUCE, REFLECT The supercontinent Rodinia was positioned at the ____, where the warm and wet climate made it easier for rocks to _____ carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through weathering. This change in carbon dioxide caused global temperatures to get _____ , which in turn allowed glaciers to grow. Larger glaciers could _____ sunlight and heat, leading to further temperature change, more glaciers, and a Runaway _____ Effect. Eventually, the glaciers grew to cover the Earth. Despite the glaciers, volcanic eruptions that were breaking up Rodinia continued to _____ carbon dioxide. With enough time, the carbon dioxide built up in the atmosphere, causing global temperatures to get _____ and glaciers to melt. Glaciers over the ocean or near the coast broke into _____ that carried coarse boulders and gravel out to sea, depositing them on the seafloor as ______ .

equator, absorb, cooler, reflect, Icehouse, produce, warmer, icebergs, dropstones
