What is the definition of PARENT ISOTOPE?

• Isotope that is unstable and decays; also called a radioactive isotope.

• Stable isotope that forms after the parent isotope decays.

• The time required for half of a sample of a radioactive isotope to break down by radioactive decay to form a daughter isotope.

• Any method of determining whether an event or object is older or younger than other events or objects.

What is the definition of DAUGHTER ISOTOPE?

• Isotope that is unstable and decays; also called a radioactive isotope.

• Stable isotope that forms after the parent isotope decays.

• The time required for half of a sample of a radioactive isotope to break down by radioactive decay to form a daughter isotope.

• Any method of determining whether an event or object is older or younger than other events or objects.

What is the definition of INDEX FOSSIL?

• Any method of determining whether an event or object is older or younger than other events or objects.

• The standard method used to divide Earth's long natural history into manageable intervals of time.

• Fossils that are used to estimate the absolute age of the rock layers in which they are found. These organisms must have lived during a short time span, have unique features, and be common over large areas.

• The trace or remains of an organism that lived long ago, most commonly preserved in sedimentary rock.

What is the definition of GEOLOGY?

• The trace or remains of an organism that lived long ago, most commonly preserved in sedimentary rock.

• The standard method used to divide Earth's long natural history into manageable intervals of time.

• All fossils discovered on Earth.

• The scientific study of the origin, history, and structure of Earth and the processes that shape Earth.

What is the definition of GEOLOGIC TIME SCALE?

• The trace or remains of an organism that lived long ago, most commonly preserved in sedimentary rock.

• The standard method used to divide Earth's long natural history into manageable intervals of time.

• All fossils discovered on Earth.

• The scientific study of the origin, history, and structure of Earth and the processes that shape Earth.

What is the definition of PRECIPITATION?

• Any form of water that falls to Earth's surface from the clouds; includes rain, snow, sleet, and hail.

• The measure of the force with which air molecules push on a surface.

• The horizontal movement of air, caused by differences in air pressure.

• The measure of the transparency of the atmosphere.

What is the definition of AIR PRESSURE?

• Any form of water that falls to Earth's surface from the clouds; includes rain, snow, sleet, and hail.

• The measure of the force with which air molecules push on a surface.

• The horizontal movement of air, caused by differences in air pressure.

• The measure of the transparency of the atmosphere.

What is the definition of WEATHER?

• The weather conditions in an area over a long period of time.

• A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object.

• The condition of Earth’s atmosphere at a certain time/place, including temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind, and visibility.

• The amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount needed to reach saturation.

What is the definition of HUMIDITY?

• A large body of air with the same temperature and moisture content throughout.

• Any form of water that falls to Earth's surface from the clouds; includes rain, snow, sleet, and hail.

• The amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount needed to reach saturation.

• The amount of water vapor in the air.

What is the definition of RELATIVE HUMIDITY?

• A large body of air with the same temperature and moisture content throughout.

• Any form of water that falls to Earth's surface from the clouds; includes rain, snow, sleet, and hail.

• The amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount needed to reach saturation.

• The amount of water vapor in the air.
