| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| IF God had created the earth with an opaque atmosphere, would Genesis 1:14 make any sense? | No, humans would not have been able to see the moon, sun and stars directly. |
| How does Genesis 8:2 relate to the principal of uniformity? | Genesis 8:2 is God's assurance to Noah that as long as the earth exists there will be regularity. |
| In the beginning, what was the overall factor that organized matter into the solar system according to the nebular hypothesis and according to Biblical creation? | The nebular hypothesis speculates that gravity was the main overall factor that organized matter into the solar system. In contrast, according to the Bible, it was God's Word. |
| Why are volcanoes considered depositional mountains? | Volcanoes build up when liquid and solid rock from eruptions are deposited on the earth's surface. |
| What is the highest mountain on earth? | Mount Everest |
| Which kind of igneous structure is a volcano? | A volcano is an extrusive igneous feature. |
| Describe the general features of a volcano. | A volcano is a depositional mountain built up by the emmission of a hardened lava through a vent. The lava comes from a magma chamber deep within the earth. As the layers of hardened lava build up, the lava pours out from a crater at the top of the volc |
| What is the Pacific Ring of Fire? | The Pacific Ring of Fire is the belt of volcanoes that surrounds the majority of the Pacific Ocean. |
| What do the numbers and extent of volcanoes and flood basalt zones indicate about conditions during the Noahic Flood? | That the earth must have not only been completely devastated by the flood, but also became a problematic place due to the tectonic activity. |
| Why is a volcano an extrusive igneous feature rather than intrusive? | Because it forms on top of the earth's crust, and not down into it. |
| What is the main cause of twice daily tides around the world? | The moon's gravity acting on the earth's surface and its oceans |
| WHat condition within the ocean allows the formation of internal waves? | Internal waves can form between 2 layers of seawater with significantly different densities. |
| What is a stream? | Flowing water that follows a distinct course over land. |
| What is elevation profile? | A description of how a stream changes an elevation from its beginning to its end. |
| WHat is a stream gradient? | THe steepness of a stream's channel |
| What is the mouth of stream? | Where the stream flows into the ocean, lake or pond, or another stream. |
| What are trubutaries? | Where smaller streams feed into larger streams |
| What changes occur when a warm air mass overtakes a cold air mass? | When a warm air mass overtakes a cold air mass, the colder temperatures suddenly rise. PRessure slowly decreases. THe winds will often shift from the Southeasternly to the Southwesternly and the dew point slowly rises and is steady. |
| What happens when two air masses meet? | When two air masses meet, they do not mix. The warmer air mass tends to rise over the cooler air mass, forming a front, which can lead to changes in the weather such as: Precipitation |
| What is an electrical discharge either between clouds or between a cloud and the ground? | Lightning |
| What are giant cyclonic storms that form over tropical or sub-tropical oceans? | Hurricanes |
| What is a rapidly spinning mass of air that extends from a cumulonimbus cloud? | Tornado |
| What is the calm center of a hurricane? | Eye of the storm...You remain in control.. |
| What is the higher than normal water level that is caused by a hurricane? | Storm surge |
| What is it called when a cyclonic storm's winds reach speeds of up to 39 mph or more? | Tropical Storm |
| What are the 4 types of storms? | Winter storms THunder storms TOrnadoes Hurricanes |
| True or False: The main reason Coppernicus questioned the geocentric theory was it's complexity. | True |
| True or False: The planet that has the most mass also has the highest density. | False |
| True or False: Because there are so many objects flying around in the solar system at different angles, collisions with these objects happen frequently. | False |
| True or False: Planets stay the same distance from the sun as they orbit it. | False |
| Geocentric Theory | Theory that states that the earth is the immovable center of the universe. All the celestial objects, include the stars, move around it. |
| State one major problem with the Geocentric Theory | The Geocentric THeory mentions the problem of the dimming of the planets and retrograde motion. |
| How does earth defer from all other planets? | All planets, except earth, lack water and a non-poisonous atmosphere containing oxygen that supports life. |
| What's crazy about vegans? | |
| Ceres | Dwarf Planet |
| Earth's Moon | SSSB |
| Mercury | Planet |
| Halley's Comet | SSSB |
| Titan | SSSB |
| Apollo Asteroids | SSSB |
| Pluto | Not Mickey's dog. A Dwarf Planet. My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nothing, because apparently Pluto is no longer a planet. |
| Meteorite | SSSB |
| Should Christians fear collisions of comets, asteroids or meteors on the earth? | Christians should not live in a spirit of fear. All things, including collisions with celestial objects, are under God's sovereign control, but this does not mean that we should not learn all we can about them. Good and wise dominion means minimizing da |
