Question 1      
Which of the following is not useful in identifying mountain belts that have eroded away and therefore are not obvious topographic features?
Correct Answer:
shocked quartz
       
Question 2      
Identify the false statement. There is very little rock record for Earth's first 600 million years because:
Correct Answer:
the surface then was one huge ocean basin filled with hot water and nothing else.

Archean

Correct Answer:
Rodinia
       
Question 5      
Which of the following statements is false? The first life forms:

probably occurred in oxygen-rich, shallow, warm ocean waters.
       
Question 6

Which of the following statements is false?
Correct Answer:
Human ancestors first appeared in the late Mesozoic.

This common, cheap, and useful form of limestone consists of microscopic marine algae shells and shrimp feces. Thick Cretaceous-age deposits of it are common in Europe.
Correct Answer:
chalk
       
Question 11      
Identify the false statement. Internal differentiation:
Correct Answer:
"stirred" Earth's interior and thus hastened Earth's cooling.
       
Question 12      
Which of the following was NOT a component of Earth's Hadean atmosphere?
Correct Answer:
oxygen
       
Question 13      
Identify the false statement.
Correct Answer:
80% of Earth's continental crust existed by the end of the Hadean  eon.
       
Question 14      
Identify the false statement. During the Pleistocene ice age:
Correct Answer:
continental glaciers covered all of North America.
       
Question 15      
Identify the false statement.
Correct Answer:
Atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen react to form the nitrogen oxide that protects land life from harmful ultraviolet rays.
       
Question 16      
Geologists believe the impact of a 10-km wide meteorite 65 million years ago:
Correct Answer:
all of the above are true statements.
       
Question 17      
Rodinia, Pannotia, Grenville, and Pangaea are all names of supercontinents.
Correct Answer: False
       
Question 18      
Banded-iron formations (BIFs) are forming today along mid-ocean ridges.
Correct Answer: False
       
Question 19      
Gymnosperms (naked-seed plants like conifers) were widespread in the late Paleozoic; angiosperms (flowering plants) gained dominance in the late Mesozoic.
Correct Answer: True
       
Question 20      
Theoretically "snowball Earth" of the late Proterozoic eon would have stayed ice-covered forever were it not for greenhouse warming caused by carbon monoxide from volcanoes.
Correct Answer: False
       
Question 21      
It wasn't until the late Mesozoic that vascular plants with woody tissues, seeds, and veins shared the land with spiders, scorpions, insects, and crustaceans, while jawed fish cruised the oceans and the first amphibians left water to visit land.
Correct Answer: False
       
Question 22      
The Paleozoic era, like the Mesozoic era, may have ended with mass extinction of life forms due to a huge meteor impact.
Correct Answer: True
       
Question 23      
The continents that comprised Pangaea came together in the early Paleozoic, but began to split apart soon afterward, during the late Paleozoic.
Correct Answer: False
       
Question 24      
During the Hadean the Earth kept getting hotter due to meteorite impact and compression; radioactive elements didn’t yet exist to contribute heat energy.
Correct Answer: False

Setting The Stage For Learning About The Earth

If you have any test reviews, homeworks, guides, anything school related that you think can be posted on this website, reach out to me at makingschooleasier@gmail.com   (These Answers Should Be Used as a Basis For Yours) Exercise 1.1 Submergence Rate Along the Maine Coast The rate of submergence is the total change in elevation of the pier 2 meters divided by the total amount of time involved 300 years and is therefore .67 cm/yr Exercise 1.4  Sources of Heat for Earth Processes A. The sand should be hot since the sun has been heating up the sand throughout the day. i. When you dig your feet into the sand you should feel cooler sand since the sun's penetration into the earth is limited. ii. This suggests that the Sun can only penetrate into the Earth up until a certain depth. iii.Based on this conclusion, one can assume that the Sun is not responsible for the Earth's internal heat since, we have heat hundreds of kilometers within the Earth and this can not be exp

The Romantics: John Keats and Samuel T. Coleridge

If you have any test reviews, homeworks, guides, anything school related that you think can be posted on this website, reach out to me at makingschooleasier@gmail.com   PART OF THIS ESSAY HAS BEEN  OMITTED  FOR FULL ESSAY COMMENT,EMAIL, LIKE, FOLLOW US                                    The Romantics: John Keats and Samuel T. Coleridge         The Romantic Period in England had six major poets, William Wordsworth, Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, William Blake, John Keats, and Samuel Coleridge. For the purpose of this essay, the focus will only be on Keats and Coleridge. Although they were contemporaries, they each have very different styles of writing as is evident in their poetry. In “This Lime Tree Bower My Prison” an exemplary example of a conversation poem, the reader is able to see Coleridge’s thought process of how he realizes nature is everywhere around oneself, as long as all “facult[ies] of sense and…the heart [are] awake to Love and Beauty”.

O captain my captain and do not go gentle into that good night

If you have any test reviews, homeworks, guides, anything school related that you think can be posted on this website, reach out to me at makingschooleasier@gmail.com   In Walt Whitman’s “O Captain! My Captain!” and in Dylan Thomas’ “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night”, the reader is presented with two venerable characters of different backgrounds; both which have deep admiration for the poem’s character. With the authors use of diction, figurative language and tone, the reader is able to see just how much some people have an effect on others and what their death brings upon the author and the reader’s mind. In Whitman’s poem, the reader is able to see the heavy use of metaphors throughout the poem.  Whitman’s entire poem is a metaphor. “Captain” is the metaphor for Abraham Lincoln, but on a first reading or without the footnote that is provided, this poem would be very ambiguous. The author’s tone throughout is very prideful and full of admiration towards the President. He
