#
Science Vocab
Definition
1
Paleontology
the study of anciet life forms
2
Evolution
the change in species over time
3
Chemical Weathering
process by which rocks & minerals undergo changes in their composition
4
Unconformity
gap in the rock record
5
Mass Extinction
occurs when an unusally large # of organisms disappear
6
Geologic Time Scale
record of Earth~q1s history from its origin
7
Extrusive
fine-grained igneous rock that is formed when molten rock cools slowly and solidifies inside Earth~q1s surface
8
Geology
study of materials that make up Earth
9
Intrusive
coarse-grained igneous rock that is formed when molten rock cools slowly
10
Contact Metamorphism
local effect that occurs when molten rock meets solid rock
11
Granitic Rock
light-colored rock that has high silicia content
12
Deposition
occurs when sediments are laid down on the ground or sink to the bottom f a body of water
13
Metamorphic Rock
rock alteres by pressure and heat
14
Nonfoliated
matamorphic rocks like quartize and marble, composed mainly of minerals that form with blocky crystal shapes
15
Igneous Rock
intrusive or extrusive rock formed from he cooling & crystallization of magma or lava.
16
Foliated
metamorphic rock whose minerals re squeezed under high pressure & arranged in wavy layers and bonds
17
Basaltic Rock
dark-colored rock has lower silica content
18
Cementation
process of sedimentary rock formation that occurs when dissolving minerals precipitate out of ground water
19
Sedimentary Rock
rock that has formed from consolidated clay sediments
20
Compaction
the consolidation of sediments resulting from the weight of overlying deposits
21
Sediments
solid particles deposited on Earth~q1s surface that can form sedimentary rocks
22
Mechanical Weathering
process that breaks down rocks and minerals into smaller pieces but doesn~q1t involve any change in their composition
23
Magma
molten material found eneath Earth~q1s crust that flows minerals with large crystals when it cools slowly
24
Weathering
chemical or mechanical process that breaks down and changes rocks on or near Earth~q1s surface
25
Lava
magma that lows out into Earth~q1s surface
26
Erosion
movement of wearthered materials from one location to another
27
Rock Cycle
continuous, dynamic set of processes by which rocks are changed into other types of rock
28
Correlation
matching of rock outcrops of one geographic region to another
29
Index Fossils
remains of plants r animals that can be used by geologists
30
Half Life
the time required for one-half of a radioisotope~q1s nuclei to decay into its products
31
Radioactive Decay
emmisions of radioactive particles and its resulting change
32
Radioactive Isotopes
an element with an unstable nuclei
33
Absolute Dating
method that enables scientists to determine the actual age of certain rocks and other objects
34
Relative Dating
establishing the order of past geological events
35
Crosscutting Relationship
the principle that an intrusive is younger than the rock it cuts across
36
Superposition
the principle that the oldest rocks are on the bottom
37
Original Horizontality
the principle that sedimentary rocks are deposited in horizontal layers
38
Geologic Column
record of Earth~q1s history from its origin 4.6 bya to the present
39
Epoch
time unit in the geological time scale smaller than a period
40
Period
third longest time unit
41
Era
second longest time unit
42
Eon
longest time unit in the geological time scale
