Q

Fossils assumed age helps geologist determine age of rock layer

A

Index fossils

17
Q

What is the problem with relative age theory?

A

Nowhere are all the layers stacked on top of each other in one place. in someplace as the layers are out of order 

18
Q

Idea continent slowly drifted to their current positions over long periods of time 

A

Continental drift theory 

19
Q

Who made the continental drift theory?

A

Alfred Wegener

20
Q

Formation of new ocean crust at the mid ocean ridge

A

Sea floor spreading

21
Q

The study of earth shaping processes in the structures they form

A

 Tectonics

22
Q

The tectonic process by which relatively thin and denser oceanic crust slowly slides down and under more massive, but less dense continental crust

23
Q

Mass produced when snow builds up and compacts

24
Q

Predicts everything rotates in the same direction

A

 Nebular hypothesis

25
Who was the secular scientist who suggested that a nebula collapsed due to exploding star or high intensity, ultraviolet nearby from a nearby Hott star, and that the solar system formed slowly from a nebula 
Immanuel Kent
