SC conformity-regions of the atmosphere

unit 2-3a

unconformity

an irregular surface separating 2 series of rocks

sediments were laid down by the flood from different areas and cut through by floodwaters

what is the biblical perspective on unconformities and how they came to be

deep and wide erosion

marine animals far above sea level and throughout continents

sand carried across continents

what are the factors for biblical perspective on unconformities

C-14 dating

organic material uses what kind of dating

radiometric dating

what is a clock based on radioactive decay

half life

what is the particular rate of decay for radioactive decay

assume a constant rate of decay (most important)

assume nothing comes into or leaves the system

assume no daughter element present at beginning

what are the main assumptions of radiometric dating

perimineralization

the process by which the organic tissues of an organism are replaced by mineral deposits

one type of organism rapidly decreases to be replaced by another

what is the evolutionary view of extinctions

indicates a change in location as the floodwaters prevailed

what is the biblical view on extinctions

periods

billions of years

eon

hundreds of millions of years

era

tens of millions of years

period

millions of years

epoch

thousands of years

age

hadeon era

what was the eon where earth was presumed to be hellish

indicates the life found in specific regions of the pre flood world

what is the biblical view on periods

eon

era

period

epoch

age

label the eons, epochs ect by the longest to shortest

cambrian explosion

where all the marine fossils show up

eco-sedimentary zones

way of thinking of the fossil record; organisms buried where they live

precambrian time (spans billions of years)

which time of the earth was mostly vacant rock with occasional microscopic bacteria

precambrian

which evolutionary time period was the rocks deposited before the flood correlation

paleozoic era

which era had the cambrian explosion

paleozoic era

creatures buried early in the flood (marine ecosystems and coastal) correlates to this evolutionary time era

mesozoic era

which evolutionary time period had dinosaurs and small mammals

mesozoic era

this evolutionary era correlates to creatures buried when the flood started terrestrial ecosystems

coelacanth

what fish was for years used as proof as a transitional form but turned out to be alive

asteroid impact

what is the secular way of explaining the extinction of the dinosaurs

cenozoic era

which era do you find large mammals and birds

cenozoic era

what era correlates with the final stages of earth being covered in water and recessional phase of flood

cenozoic era

what era is associated with tectonic disturbance

humans have gradually gotten more advanced in their growth

what is the evolutionary perspective on human history

shows the growth of civilization since the flood

what is the biblical perspective on human history

atmosphere

what is the envelope of gases around the earth

hydrosphere

the total amount of water on the earth

nitrogen (78%)

what is the 1st most abundant gas in the atmosphere

oxygen (21%)

what is the 2nd most abundant gas in the atmosphere

nitrogen

oxygen

argon

carbon dioxide

what are the 4 most abundant gases in the atmosphere

thermosphere

in which atmosphere are there single oxygen atoms that are very reactive

troposphere

what is the layer that extends up to 7 miles above the surface of the earth

troposphere

in which region of the atmosphere do the temps decrease to -55 C

troposphere

what region of the atmosphere contains all the earths weather

stratosphere

which region of the atmosphere extends from 11-50km above the surface of the earth

stratosphere

which region of the atmosphere causes a temp rise to 10 C

UVC

which type of UV light is entirely absorbed in the ozone layer

mesosphere

what is the middle layer/region of the atmosphere

mesosphere

which region of the atmosphere extends from 50-80 km above the surface of the earth

mesosphere

which region of the atmosphere has the temp decrease to -75 C

stratosphere

in this zone the higher you go the hotter it gets

mesosphere

in this region of the atmosphere the temps decrease the higher you go

mesosphere

what is the coldest portion of th atmosphere

mesosphere

which region of the atmosphere do meteors burn up in

thermosphere

which region of the atmosphere extends from 80-600km above the surface of the earth

karmen line

how has space been traditionally defined at abt 100 km above the earth

thermosphere

what region of the atmosphere contains the ionosphere

thermosphere

which region of the atmosphere has temperature increasing to 2000 C

ionosphere

which region of the atmosphere absorbs high energy radiation from the sun

ionosphere

which layer of the atmosphere produces auroras

ionosphere

what is the special layer of oxygen atoms that get bombarded with the highest form of UV from the sun

compression and air resistance

why do meteors burn up in the mesosphere

thermosphere

which of the region sof the atmosphere is associated with temperature

stratosphere

mesosphere

thermosphere

what are all the regions of the atmosphere

troposphere

stratosphere

mesosphere

the homosphere is made up of
