spacer B. Fossils and oil

spacer

4. The oceans cover over 2/3 of the globe. The oceans are deeper than the continents are high. The highest mountain is less than half as high as the deepest ocean is deep.

This is one explanation of how there was sufficient water to cause a global flood that covered the mountains.

spacer

spacer True

spacer False
spacer

spacer
5. Mountains were probably not as high then. The flood laid down today's mountains. All major mountain chains are sedimentary rock that has been raised up.

This is one explanation of how there was sufficient water to cause a global flood that covered the mountains.

spacer

spacer True

spacer False
spacer

spacer
6. Most of the water evaporated due to increased solar radiation.

This is one explanation for where all the water went after the flood.

spacer

spacer True

spacer False
spacer

spacer
7. Which of these is NOT one of the flood predictions based on Scripture? spacer

spacer A. Catastrophic deposition of sedimentary layers

spacer B. Increased solar radiation

spacer C. Regional stratigraphy (opposed to local)

spacer D. Large-scale erosion

spacer E. Intense volcanism

spacer F. Post-flood readjustment
spacer

spacer
8. Fossils provide evidence for a catastrophic deposition. Which of these is NOT one of the evidences?
spacer

spacer A. Must be buried rapidly, or will decay

spacer B. Most are found as broken pieces, strewn together

spacer C. Many whole fossils are found

spacer D. Provide an interpretation of the geologic column as ecology zones, not evolution
spacer

spacer
9. Based on the information in Module 9, which is the best answer?

Deposits that make up the Appalachian Mountains match:

spacer

spacer A. Deposits at Mt. St. Helens

spacer B. Deposits at the Grand Canyon

spacer C. Basal Conglomerate deposits

spacer D. Modern turbidite deposits
spacer

spacer
10. Mt. St. Helens provides evidence for a catastrophic deposition. As discussed in Module 9, which of these is NOT one of the evidences?
spacer
spacer

A. Basal Conglomerate

B. 600 ft. deposited in days

C. Finely laminated layers
spacer

spacer
11. Boulders provide evidence for a catastrophic deposition. As discussed in Module 9, which of these is NOT one of the evidences?
spacer

spacer A. Layers of boulders, such as those found in East San Diego County

spacer B. Grand Canyon's lowest layer of tapeats sandstone has boulders

spacer C. Boulders are found in the Basal Conglomerate

spacer D. Boulders require turbidite deposits
spacer

spacer
12. Regional stratigraphy provides evidence for a catastrophic deposition. As discussed in Module 9, which of these is NOT one of the evidences?
spacer

spacer A. Widespread coal beds

spacer B. Widespread sandstone beds (U. S. and Canada); similar to beach sand

spacer C. The Basal Conglomerate

spacer D. Tapeats sandstone in Grand Canyon, Chicago, and Pennsylvania
spacer

spacer
13. How does the underfit river of the Grand Canyon support large-scale erosion by a major flood?
spacer

spacer A. Meandering rivers erode the banks.

spacer B. A major flood is required to erode down.

spacer C. Boulders are found in the Basal Conglomerate.

spacer D. A and B

spacer E. A and C

spacer F. B and C

spacer G. All of the above
spacer

spacer
14. As discussed in Module 9, which of these is NOT an example of post-flood readjustments?
spacer

spacer A. Earthquakes

spacer B. Volcanoes

spacer C. All fountains of the great deep broken open

spacer D. The Ice Age
spacer

spacer
15. How Darwin's assumption at Santa Cruz influenced his work in biology?
spacer
spacer

A. Very little, his concept of evolution was well formed before he reached Santa Cruz.

B. He assumed that the variations of birds at Santa Cruz were caused by natural selection.

C. He imposed slow and natural processes on biology and came up with evolution by natural selection.

D. He assumed that glaciers formed the canyon at Santa Cruz.
spacer

spacer
16. How would you defend this statement, "assumptions dictate interpretations and convictions"?
spacer

spacer A. Assumptions color which experiments are conducted

spacer B. Assumptions color which data are considered important

spacer C. Assumptions color interpretations of conclusions

spacer D. All of the above
spacer

spacer
17. There are no worldwide unconformities (either physical unconformities or fossil unconformities) and, therefore, no worldwide time break within the main sedimentary deposits in the geologic column.

This means:

spacer
spacer

A. The entire sedimentary geologic column, all over the world, is a unit.

B. The geologic column was deposited continuously from bottom to top without a significant time break.

C. It is a unitary phenomenon.

D. It must have a unitary cause.

E. All of the above
spacer

spacer
18. The widespread nature of flood traditions throughout the entire human race is excellent evidence for the existence of a great flood from a legal/historical point of view.
spacer

spacer True

spacer False
spacer

spacer
19. If a 450-foot ark were to be discovered on top of a high mountain, it could only have been placed there by a mountain-covering flood, a flood which would have been worldwide in scope. The evidence for such a flood would have had dramatic geologic consequences.
spacer
spacer

A. Such a flood would have restructured the surface of the globe

B. Such a flood would have deposited perhaps the majority of fossil bearing strata

C. Such a discovery would cause the reinterpretation of the geologic data that has been interpreted as supporting long ages

D. All of the above
spacer

spacer
20. In "How Could Fish Survive The Genesis Flood?" Impact 222, Mt. St. Helens is used to provide examples of recovery from a catastrophic event. It allows us to project expectations from a major catastrophe, such as the Flood. Which of the items below can be projected from Mt. St. Helens?
spacer
spacer

A. There appear to be refuges for survival even in close proximity to the most damaging action.

B. Recovery can be incredibly fast—from one month to ten years.

C. Recruitment from minimally affected zones can occur with normal migratory behavior of organisms.

D. Although some animal and plant populations or even species might be annihilated in such events, remnant individuals can reestablish new populations.

E. B, C and D

F. B and C

G. All of the above
spacer

spacer
