Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
The study of the earth   Geology  
🗑
3 layers of the earth   Crust, mantle, core  
🗑
Thinnest layer of the earth   Crust  
🗑
Scientists believe the earth's core is composed mostly of   Iron  
🗑
Deepest hole drilled in the earth reaches to a depth of   12 Kilometers  
🗑
Readers of the Bible concluded from these verses that Adam & Eve were created as young or middle aged adults.   Genesis 2:15 & Genesis 1:28  
🗑
Evolutionists believe the earth's age is   4-5 billion years  
🗑
Young-earth Creationists believe the earth's age is   about 6,500 years  
🗑
Dating methods   Radioactive dating, Radiocarbon dating, uranium-lead method, and potassium-argon method  
🗑
Radiocarbon dating is fairly accurate for carbon-containing specimens younger than   5,000 years old  
🗑
Geologists that study earthquakes waves   Seismologists  
🗑
What did God do on the 7th day of Creation   Rested  
🗑
Layers of rock within the earth's crust   Strata  
🗑
Key principle of uniformitarianism   The present is the key to the past  
🗑
Dating method used when counting tree rings to determine age   Dendrochronology  
🗑
The old-earth view of the earth's history, which assigns to rocks ages that extend far back into time   Deep-time viewpoint  
🗑
Theories and models of the earth's formation and the processes that shaped its surface   Historical geology  
🗑
Material that has settled out of a body of water   Sediment  
🗑
An argument against the doctrine of uniformity   Fossil graveyards  
🗑
Peformed genealogical dating   Ussher  
🗑
The change of a radioactive element into a different radioactive or nonradioactive element   Decay  
🗑
Marks a boundary between two layers of the earth when there is a change in speed   Discontinuity  
🗑
Boundary between the crust and mantle. A seismic discontinuity in the earth that marks the depth where earthquake waves suddenly chsange speed as they travel through the earth.   Mohorovicic discontinuity (or Moho)  
🗑
The pressure of this part of the earth are extremely high. It is believed to have a liquid outer part. It contains 16% of the earth's volume.   Core  
🗑
Two different zones of rock act together as a unit to form the plates of the earth's shell.   Lithosphere  
🗑
Earthquake waves do not increase with depth as fast in this zone as they do in the rest of the mantle, perhaps because rocks are closer to melting.   Asthenosphere  
🗑
Occupies 84% of the earth's volume.At some levels of this region, rock is thought to flow in slow convective patterns. Earthquakes travel faster here than in the crust.   Mantle  
🗑
Know how to label the Earth's interior   (Drawing on p.341)  
🗑
This dating method uses tests such as liquid scintillation counting and an instrument called an accelerated mass spectrometer. Uses the ratio of carbon-14 and carbon-12 to determine age. The most reliable form of radioactive dating.   Radiocarbon dating  
🗑
This dating method examines a process that occurs at a constant rate.   Radioactive dating  
🗑
This method is based on the radioactive decay of uranium into lead by a chain of other radioactive elements   Uranium-lead method  
🗑
This method uses the ratio of argon to find the age of the rock   Potassium-argon method  
🗑
A scientist who studies mainly the solid structure of the earth. They can also study satellite photos of the earth in search of oil deposits.   Geologist  
🗑
A geologist who studies earthquakes   Seismologist  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
