E) where Europe is now located. 12) The evolution of life from the Precambrian era to the Cenozoic era A) started on land and moved to the oceans. B) changed from simple organisms to more complex life forms. C) showed very little change. D) started from one-celled organisms and finished with flowering plants. E) started with flowering plants and finished with dinosaurs. 18) the large area of precambrian rock that forms the core of Canada 8) During the Mesozoic era, the North American and Pacific plates collided creating the A) Interior Plains.

A) limestone B) magma C) sandstone D) gneiss E) sand 10) Approximately 87% of the earth's history took place in the 1 A) Precambrian era. B) Cenozoic era. C) Paleozoic era. D) Mesozoic era. E) Jurassic period. What do the following definitions relate to? 13) the theory that the earth's outer shell consists of plates that move and consequently cause earthquakes, volcanoes, mountains, and the formation of new crust 14) the wearing away of the earth's surface, and the movement of the worn away materials to other locations 15) the history of the earth from its formation to the present divided into four major time periods 17) the major divisions of time in earth's history 19) the bending of rock layers 20) movement along a crack or faults in the earth's crust 21) rock formed from the cooling of molten rock ______________________ 22) a new type of rock that forms when rock is subjected to heat and pressure 23) rock that forms in layers from the compression of sediments over millions of years 24) when the term is capitalized, it refers to the most recent Ice Age during the last two million years. Within the most recent Ice Age there have been at least four periods of large-scale glacial activity. 25) slow moving masses of ice 26) The greatest extinction of plants and animals occurred in the late __________ era . 27) Earthquakes and volcanoes frequently occur __________. 28) The scientist who first put forward the idea of continental drift was __________. 29) About 300 million years ago, the earth's plates came together to form the supercontinent called __________ . 30) The first evidence that probably led people to think that the continents were connected was __________. 31) Each era represents a time of major __________ . 32) When two plates collide, one plate descends under the other, creating a __________. 33) __________ rocks form the bedrock of part of every province. 34) During the Paleozoic era, the vegetation in huge swamps produced __________ in "Nova Scotia." 35) Sediments deposited in the Paleozoic era produced __________ in southwestern Ontario. 36) _________ help scientists to estimate the age of the sedimentary rock in which they are found. 37)The Precambrian landform that is made up of rocks that form the platform on which the rest of Canada is built is the ___________.
