1. In the lecture, you learned about the difference between surficial and internal processes of our dynamic earth. Based on that information, which of those two processes would cause an Earthquake along the San Andreas Fault?
a. Internal
b. Surficial
2. Which process below is responsible for the uplift of mountains like the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California?
a. Internal
b. Surficial
3. Scientific laws and theories are basically the same thing according to the lecture.
a. True
b. False
4. The way Earth appears today is how it has appeared throughout its entire history.
a. True
b. False
5. According to the lecture, a scientific theory is defined as a method in science where scientists are in the process of trying to prove or disprove a phenomenon.
a. True
b. False
Ans 1.
it is an internal process since it occurs due to internal forces of the earth
Ans 2.
Ofcourse the upliftment of Sierra Nevada is due to subsidence of Farallon plate and also due to groundwater depletion. It is a fault and hence internal processes of the earth played an importatn role in this.
Ans 3.
No, this is false since scientific law describes a phenomenon using proper facts explaining why tha phenomenon took place which scientific theory is what comes out using a scientific law aand hence both are two different things.
Ans 4.
No, it is false since earth was a ball of hot gases earlier when it was separated from the sun and later cooled down.
Ans 5.
Yes, it is true since a scientific theory explains a phenomenon and tries to prove it.
