uniformitarianism
--the belief that there are inviolable lows of nature that have not change
in the course of time.
actualism
--the present as the key to the past
--the application of these analyses to ancient rocks, in accordance with
the principle of uniformitarianism.
mineral
--an inorganic element or compound that is characterized by its chemical
composition and by its internal structure.
rock
--aggregate of mineral grains
igneous rock
--form by the cooling of magma
sediment rock
--layered rock that accumulate under the influnce of gravity
metamorphic
--form by the alteration of preexsting rocks at high pressure and temperature
rock cycle
--the endless pathway along whitch rocks of various kinds change into rocks
of other kinds
Steno's three laws for sediment rock
--principle of superposition
principle of original horizontality
principle of lateral continuity
lithosphere <--> asthenosphere
crust <--> mantle
1.Give general examples of the use of actualisms to interpret ancient rocks.
隨意
2.In which of the three basic kinds of rocks do nearly all fossils occur? Why?
sedimentary rock, 只有在此處化石得以保存
3.What is metamorphism?
因地殼深處環境條件變化,使得岩石的組成成分和結構發生改變.
4.Where is lithosphere formed along plate boundaries, and where does it
disappear into the asthenosphere?
中洋脊, 海溝(隱沒帶)
5.What is isostasy and how does it explain why mountains have roots?
均衡補償,指地球表面由於侵蝕或沉積作用導致物質側向運移,被地殼下層的側向
運動所補償的過程.
p.16
6.What kinds of features distiguish one system of geologic time form another?
化石...etc.
7.Name three kinds of unconformitits. How does each type form?
angular unconformity ; disconformity ; nonconformity
p.11
8.Describe three kinds of relationships between two bodies of rock that
indicate whitch of two bodies is the younger one.
mudcracks ; ripple mark ; cross beding
9.How do sedimentary rocks relate to igneous and metamorphic rocks in the
rock cycle?
p.8
