What is Geology?
A person who studies dinosaurs
Study of rocks on and within the Earth
Break in rocks of Earth's crust; formed from movement
Evidence of how life and conditions have changed on Earth
What are Ice Cores?
The study of computers
A record that shows how old Earth's oceans are
Evidence of newly adapted ice life
Drilled ice out of glaciers; indicate climate change throughout history
What is a fossil?
Preserved remains of a past living organism
Igneous Rock
Broken pieces of rock
Evidence discovered from all fossils
What are some examples of organisms in the Mesozoic Era?
Mold, Cast, Preserved, Petrified, Carbonized, Trace
There's no such thing as the Mesozoic Era
Reptiles, Dinosaurs, Small Mammals, Flowers
Only Dinosaurs
What are the kinds of fossils?
Sedimentary Rock
Mold, Cast, Trace, Petrified, Carbonized, Preserved
Change in vertical position of rock
Evidence from all discovered fossils
What is the Fossil Record?
Evidence that shows all the kinds of discovered fossils
Rock that is formed by heat
Newer rock layers are above older ones
New mammals
Sedimentary Rock is...
Rock that is formed from a collection of sediment on Earth's surface
Formed from another rock with heat or pressure
Formed from the cooling of magma
Igneous Rock is...
Formed from another rock with heat or pressure
Formed from the cooling of magma
Rock that is formed from a collection of sediment on Earth's surface
Metamorphic Rock is...
Formed from the cooling of magma
Formed from another rock with heat or pressure
Rock that is formed from a collection of sediment on Earth's surface
What is a fault?
A break in rocks of Earth's crust; formed from movement
A type of fossil
A person who studies the life of organisms
Paleozoic Era
What is a dip-slip fault?
A change in rock that is vertical
A change in rock that is horizontal
What types of organisms existed in the Cenozoic Era?
New Mammals, Flowers, Humans
Dinosaurs, Reptiles, Fossils
Single-Celled Bacteria
Nothing; this was the first Era
What types of organisms existed in the Mesozoic Era?
Reptiles, Flowers, Dinosaurs, Small Mammals
Nothing; this was the first Era
Humans, and Mammals
Mold and Cast Fossils
The Precambrian Era was..
the first Era, and the start of Earth's formation
the most recent Era
the point in time where dinosaurs lived
1 million years ago
The Law of Superposition states that newer rock layers form above older rock layers.
True
False
Early invertebrates (trilobites) and a mass extinction occured in this Era:
Paleozoic Era
Mesozoic Era
Precambrian Era
Cenozoic Era
Radioactive Dating uses ___________ elements to determine the age of rock in years.
radiometric
sediment
trilobite
marble
Relative Age gives you the exact age of a fossil.
True, it will tell you in years
False, it will give you an idea of the kinds of organisms that existed during its time period
Index Fossils:
-common in their time period
-found in many different areas
-lived in a specific time period
Are ammonities an example of an Index Fossil?
Yes
No
a= a hardened layer of magma beneath Earth's surface
b= a hardened layer of lava on Earth's surface
Which is an extrusion and which is an intrusion?
a= intrusion, b=extrusion
a= extrusion, b= intrusion
neither, these are examples of fossils
Unconformities- the surface where new rock layers meet a much older rock surface beneath them.
Do unconformities still apply to the Law of Superposition?
No
Yes
Transform Boundaries: the mantle causes lithosphere plates to move past each other, creating faults
you'll do great on this test :)!
this is just a vocab reminder!

Convergent Boundaries: the mantle causes lithosphere plates to move together, creating mountains, island chains, and trenches
remember to take your time, and fully read the question!
