zone
--最基本的生物地層單位
A zone is a body of rock whose lower and upper boundaries are base on
the ranges of one or more taxa - usually species - in the stratigraphic
record.
regression
--A seaward migration of a marine shoreline and of nearby environment.
transgression
--A landward migration of a marine shoreline and of nearby environment.
1.What kinds of stratigraphic correlation do geologist undertake?
fossil
2.What is the difference between the relative and absolute ages of rocks?
相對:兩者比較孰長孰幼
絕對:可找出實際年齡
3.For what interval of geologic time is radiocarbon dating applicable?
p.165 Table 6-2 p.167
Holocene ; late Pleistocene (<7000 year)
4.How are strontium(鍶) isotopes useful in dating rocks?
5.Why does a geologic formation not necessarily have upper and lower
boundaries that are time-parallel?
6.What factors prevent biostratigraphic zones from having boundaries that
are perfectly time-parallel?
構造運動 風化侵蝕...etc.
7.What factors lead to imperfections in radiometic dating?
變質作用
8.Construct a diagram resembling Figure 6-16C to depict the depositional
history of a barrier island-lagoon complex that has undergone a regression
followed by a transgression.

9.Construct a diagram resembling Figure 6-21B showing that a lowering of sea
level need not always lead to regression.

10.How are seismic profiles used to study regional stratigraphy?
p.172-173
11.What is event stratigraphy?
The use of geologic records of sudden events, such as the relocation of
shorelines or the deposition of volcanic ash, to correlate rocks of widely
separated regions.
12.Using the Visual Overview on page 152 as your guide, evaluate the various
methods of correlating rocks with regard to age. Which methods are
especially useful for intercontinental correlation?
