Re: Geology Multiple Choice Exam
Feel free I will get the Multiple Choice Questions on Introduction to Geology - Chapter 1 so that you can check it easily. Here are some questions for you Which of the following statements regarding the scientific methods is true? A hypothesis must be agreed upon by more than one scientist A theory is a hypothesis that has withstood many scientific tests A theory is proven to be true, and therefore may not be discarded A hypothesis cannot predict the outcome of scientific experiments According to the principle of uniformatarianism, geologic processes we observe today have operated in the past geologic process in the past operated at the same rate as they do today all of the planets formed from a uniform solar nebula early Earth was covered by a uniform magma ocean Approximately how long ago did the Big Bang take place? 10-15 thousand years ago 10-15 million years ago 100-150 million years ago 10-15 billion years ago Under intense pressure and high temperature, hydrogen atoms combine to form helium. This process is called: nuclear fusion nuclear fission metamorphism convection What are the two most abundant elements in nebula (gas clouds) in the universe? nitrogen and oxygen oxygen and silicon hydrogen and helium iron and nickel The process by which an originally homogeneous Earth developed a dense core and a light crust is called: metamorphism differentiation accretion compression The heat that caused melting in the Earth's early history was supplied from which of the following events or causes? volcanic activity and radioactivity solar heating and volcanic activity a large impact event and radioactivity a large impact event and solar heating How thick is the crust of the Earth? about 4 miles about 4 km about 40 km about 400 km The layer that separates crust from core is the? magma layer lithosphere mantle continent What drives the Earth's internal heat engine? radioactivity solar energy volcanoes ocean tides In general, igneous rocks: form at relatively high temperatures form by crystallization of solids from a liquid form at high and low pressures all of the above Minerals: can form by life-processes -- organic are crystalline solids have a unique chemical composition can be any state (solid, liquid, or gas) as long as that state occurs naturally Metamorphic rocks are changed rocks. Which of the following rock types could be the "parent" of a metamorphic rock? sedimentary igneous metamorphic all of the above _______involves transfer of heat by the physical movement of the material: conduction convection metamorphism radiation __________is called the "father" of geology. John Butler Art Smith James Hutton Alfred Wegner New seafloor is created at a ____________? deep-sea trench mid-ocean ridge subduction zone transform fault The descent of oceanic lithosphere into the mantle is the process of _______? accretion subduction divergence zone contraction fault Which of the following features is not associated with a convergent plate boundary? a mid-ocean ridge earthquakes a deep-sea trench zone volcanic activity The greatest threat to our environment is ___________? volcanoes earthquakes humans bacteria Earth materials always trace the complete rock cycle from sediment through igneous rocks.
