geology the earth speaks
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| geology | the study of the earth |
| uniformitarianism | make sense of hx geology . belief that earth forming process are natural, have always been the same, alway happened at the same gradual rate most important basic principle of geology 150 yrs |
| deep time view | idea earth is ancient billions of years old, secular approach to hx of geology (uniformity overal sameness uniform |
| crust | earth outer layer,solid, low dense rock |
| moho | the boundary between the earth crust and the mantle |
| lithosphere | upper mantle and the crust forms this. which is made up of tectonic plates |
| core | two parts, inner core and outer core |
| natural resource | comes from the earth--a raw material we use |
| renewable resource | unlimited supply easily replenished, water,sunlight wind, air |
| nonrenewable resource | natural resource get used up and cant be replenished examples coal, copper, uranium, oil, natural gas, |
| resource management | over see and control natural resources |
| renewable biological (living) | forest, oceans, fisheries tree, fish, agriculturet |
| nonrenewable nonbiological | soil, groundwater, clean air, sunlight and minerals and ore of the earth. |
| actual resource vs potential | coal that is vein dug is available, potential is vein of gold not dug, potential |
| tectonic plates | outer layer, section of the earth crust that has tectonic boundaries and moves as a unit compared to other regions of crust |
| lesser light according to Genesis | only moon that lights up the entire sky (night time it the moon) |
| Theistic evolution | compromise between belief of creation and naturalism they propose that God used naturalistic processes to create things and then the natural souse occurrences through natural laws. |
| Charles lyell and his famous quote | "the present is the key to the past" |
| uniformity vs uniformitarianism | the principles of uniformity and cause and effect state that nature is regular and predictable. principle of uniformity is important part of the operational science |
| potential resource | resource has potential va vein gold not dug up |
| size of or moon compared to other moons | our moon is 100 x larger than th average moon in the solar system, its large enough to light up the entire night sky |
| what causes the seasons | the tilt of the earth axis and rotation |
| how does our atmosphere protect us | blocks dangerous wave-length of light from the sun . it is a physical shield for bombs from space (meteors and comets) |
| planet that protects us from the asteroids | Jupiter immense gravity |
| father of geology | Charles Lyell |
| John Whitcomb | affirmed the truth of a biblical flood in book the genesis flood |
| Henry Morris | affirmed the truth of a biblical flood in book the genesis flood |
| old earth geology | scientist believe earth is 4.5 billions years old...plate tectonic theory |
| layers of the earth and relative thicknesses | 1.)crust is 3-6 miles (ocean) 16-56 mi (Mountain continent) |
| oceanic vs. continental crust | oceanic crust crust under the ocean thickness 3-6 miles this crust is thinner than the mountains (continental crust) 13-56 miles thick |
| composition of the core | inner core:--solid 1500 mi Outer Core:liquid/gas 1400 mi |
| biological vs non biological | biological : living resources, ocean trees, non biological is nonliving resources soil ground water clean air sunlight minerals ore |
| renewable resource vs. non renewable | renewable unlimited supply and replenish able non-renewable non publishable |
| how the magnetic field of the earth actually protects us | deflects radiation particles from the sun (that would kill or destroy living things. (also traps solar wind from causing damage) |
| how scientist study earthquakes (what kind of waves) | seismic waves |
| label the layers of the earth | crust mantle core |
| shape of the earth orbit | circular and elliptical |
| characteristics of our earth in our solar system and the milky way | milky way galaxy center has the black hole enough gravity from core and spiral arm. ) |
| how scientist imitate seismic wave | computer generated ,models |
| modern scientist as neocatastrophist | modern secular geologist no longer realize changes in uniformity/recognize catastrophic event "new Catastrophists" |
| what causes a natural resource to be valuable | supply and demand, availability and accessibility /scarcity |
| charles lyell | book principles of geology |
| how the moons gravity affects earth | gravity moon tugs the earth causes waves/tides which replenishes life sea, stables the earth tilt of it axis |
| historical geology | how long ago was the last meal of a fish, is a questions by historical geology |
| young earth view | earth is 6000-7000 years old biblical creationist |
| deep time/old earth view | scientist believe earth is 4.5 billions years old...plate tectonic theory (secular) |
| operational geology | obey the creation mandate geology use earth material wisely and protect people from natural disaster |
| age of the earth according to secular and biblical views | deep time/old earth 4.5 billions years old (most scientist believe) (secular) Yong earth view--6-7000yes old biblical creationist. |
| uniformity | principle supported by scripture enable us to do operational science |
| earth center outer core | has a liquid |
| earth center inner core | solid dense |
| natural seismic waves | earthquakes |
| Core ( | hot and dense ) outer (1400mo) Inner Core across (1500mi) |
| WERE WE ARE IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM/MILKY WAY PART 2 | our solar system has planets that protects earth like Jupiter immense gravity to prevent asteroid from hitting earth |
| 2)mantle | (1800mi) |
