model that explains the shape and location of continents as the effect of slow motion of tectonic plates over millions
continental drift theory
catastrophic plate tectonics theory
sea floor spreading
plate tectonics theory
4
the motion of oceanic tectonic plates away from mid-ocean ridges where mantle rocks rise forming new ocean crust
plate tectonics
catastrophic plate tectonics

sea floor spreading
tectonics
mid ocean rift
plates
9
Suggests that the earth's crust is made of semi-rigid plates floating on plastic rocks in the mantle.
plate tectonics theory
continental drift theory
catastrophic plate tectonics theory
sea floor spreading
10
Using index fossils to date rocks often results in what logical error?
contraditions
oversimplification
Jumping on the bandwagon
circular reasoning
11
the last theoretical supercontinent
Pangaea
Panthalassa
Panthos
Omnia
12
What caused the death and ultimate extinction of the wooly mammoths?
They drowned during the flood
The dust storms and frigid temperatures led to lack of food and burial
They burned up in the rapid climate change of the ice ages
They couldn't get off an island
13
How do secular geologists estimate an absolute age for a rock?
circular reasoning
fossil dating
radiometric dating
they use the geologic column
14
How would a secular scientist explain why Uranus rotates on its side?
There was a collision that made it tilt
It just formed that way
The dust from the nebula created a wobbly planet
the gravity from the nebula pulled its axis over
15
What is the bottom layer of the diluvial geologic column?
the creation event
lost world era
the flood event
new world era
16
Sea-floor spreading is thought to be driven by the movement of
____________________________
.
the crust
the mantle
the outer core
the inner core
17
What are the two types of tectonic plates?
state and country
sea and lake
country and lake
oceanic and continental
18
How many glacial periods do secular geologists think happened in the earth’s past?
5 that were mild
4 that were mild
5 that were severe
7 that alternated between severe and mild
19
The study of layers of rocks and their relationship
stratigraphy
oceanography
geology
strata

nebular hypothesis
the big bang
26
A huge landmass containing many continental tectonic plates
supercontinent
Snowball earth
Panthalassa

28
Creationary version of the plate tectonics theory that relies on Creation and the flood to account for the continents
nebular hypothesis
continental drift theory
plate tectonics theory
catastrophic plate tectonics
