geology 105 lab final exam QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
1. Absolute relationship - ANSWER-used to inform the precise age of a rock the use of
radioactive isotopes -- 1/2 stay
2. anapsid - ANSWER-no holes in the back of eye socket
-turtles
3. angular unconformity - ANSWER-rocks tilted, then eroded
4. anticline - ANSWER-folding in which the oldest layer is inside the center
could see at a dorm
n form
5. convergent evolution - ANSWER-comparable adjustments in animals with
one-of-a-kind lineage
-ornithopods have feet and beaks like birds
-bat, birds, pterosaurs have identical bones and supporting wings
-dolphins and bats use echolocation
6. diapsid - ANSWER-two holes at the back of eye
-reptiles
-dinosaurs
7. disconformity - ANSWER-beds beneath unconformity are parallel, erosion
8. foramen magnum - ANSWER-hollow inside the again of the cranium
9. half of existence - ANSWER-the time it takes half a set of radioactive isotopes to
decay to the stable daughter isotopes
10.regulation of cross-slicing - ANSWER-a function (fault) that cuts throughout a series
and consequently is more youthful than the sequence it cuts thru
11.law of later continuity - ANSWER-lava flows and strata extended laterally in all
instructions till they thin out
12.regulation of authentic horizontality - ANSWER-sedimentary rock layers are
deposited horizontally..Like a cake
if they are now not flat --> faulting or folding occured
13.law of superposition - ANSWER-if rocks are undisturbed the oldest layer could be
on the lowest of the collection and the youngest could be on the pinnacle
14.law of unconformity - ANSWER-a floor that represents gaps inside the geologic
document are because of erosion or non-deposition
15.left lateral strike-slip - ANSWER-transform bounday
left facet actions down
16.marginocephelia - ANSWER-pachycephalosaurus &
triceratops
17.natural choice - ANSWER-organisms higher tailored to their surroundings have a
tendency to live on and produce more offspring
-major system that brings about evolution
