Chapter 1 Introduction To Earth Science
1) What Are The Basic Differences Between The Disciplines Of Physical And
Historical Geology?
A) Physical Geology Is The Study Of Fossils And Sequences Of Rock Strata;
Historical Geology Is The Study Of How Rocks And Minerals Were Used In The
Past.
B) Historical Geology Involves The Study Of Rock Strata, Fossils, And Geologic
Events, Utilizing The Geologic Time Scale As A Reference; Physical Geology
Includes The Study Of How Rocks Form And Of How Erosion Shapes The Land
Surface.
C) Physical Geology Involves The Study Of Rock Strata, Fossils, And Deposition In
Relation To Plate Movements In The Geologic Past; Historical Geology Charts How And
Where The Plates Were Moving In The Past.
D) None Of The Above—Physical Geology And Historical Geology Are Essentially
The Same.

5) Sedimentary Rocks With Marine Fossils Are Exposed At The Top Of Mt. Everest.
Which Scientists Would Make Most Use Of This Observation In Their Study?
A) Meteorologists, Because They Could Use The Fossils As A Guide To Ancient Climates
B) Geologists, Because Their Elevation Is Related To Physical Geology And
Fossils Are Related To Earth History
