At the top b. At the bottom c. There is no way to tell RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Fossils 200 • Which of the following uses information about rock layers and the fossil record to determine the age relationships between rocks? a. The Law of Superposition b. Relative dating c. Absolute dating RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Fossils 300 • There are fossils of the same organisms on the coasts of Africa and South America, with the Atlantic Ocean separating them. There is no way the organisms could have swam across the ocean. What do scientists think this means? RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Fossils 400 • Some elements exist in forms that are unstable. Over time, these elements break down, or decay, by releasing particles and energy in a process called • R________________ ___________y RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Fossils 500 • What is an index fossil? RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Geographic Time Scale 100 • What era do we currently live in? • • • • A. B. C. D. Cenozoic Paleozoic Mesozoic Phanerozoic RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Geologic Time Scale 200 DAILY DOUBLE • • In which era did the dinosaurs exist? • Cenozoic, Paleozoic, or Mesozoic RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Geologic Time Scale 300 • What is the largest period of time? a. b. c. d. . Era Eon Period Kingdom RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Geologic Time Scale 400 • How long ago did the dinosaurs go extinct? RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Geologic Time Scale 500 • How long ago was the Earth formed? RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Genetic Variation 100 What will most likely happen if a species can no longer produce offspring? a. It will become extinct b. It will evolve into another species c. It will move to a new environment and adapt d. It will begin to mutate into another organism. RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Genetic Variation 200 • Trilobite fossils from different time periods show small changes in appearance. What might account for the changes? – – – – A. B. C. D. Catastrophic geologic events Weathering and erosion Increase in greenhouse gases Response to environmental changes RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Genetic Variation 300 DAILY DOUBLE • What makes one member of a species successful when another one is not? RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Genetic Variation 400 • Which fact provides the best evidence for the biological theory of evolution? – A. Most fossils are found in sedimentary rock – B. Most species of life on Earth have become extinct – C. Characteristics of simpler life-forms can be found in more complex life-forms. – D. Only a small percentage of living things have been preserved in fossils. RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Genetic Variation 500 • A baby has brown eyes. What has to be true in order for this to happen? RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Biological Evolution 100 Evolution is: a. Change over time. b. Strongest animal survives c. Organisms adapt when the environment changes d. Monkeys turn into people RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Biological Evolution 200 Adaptation is: a. Older fossils are buried deeper b. Animals are classified into categories c. Organisms change as the environment changes in order to survive. d. Embryos of various species look similar. RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Biological Evolution 300 • What does it mean that different species have embryological similarities? RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Biological Evolution 400 • Give one example of “proof of evolution” that we have learned about this term. RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Biological Evolution 500 • What does it mean that some species have Homologous Body Structures? RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Geological Evolution 100 A new island is discovered in the Pacific Ocean. Scientists discovered most of the rock on the island is Igneous. How did this island form? a. Earthquake b. Accumulation of Rocks and Sand c. Volcanic Eruption RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Geological Evolution 200 Fossils of warm-weather plants were found on an island in the Arctic Ocean. Why? a. Spores of plants drifted by air currents to the island b. Ocean currents carried the plants to the island c. The island drifted from a tropical region to its present location RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Geological Evolution 300 A layer of marine fossils is discovered in a desert environment. What best explains this discovery? RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Geological Evolution 400 Which is a reason for a mass extinction of various species? a. b. c. d. Natural Selection Survival of the Fittest Disease Extreme events and/ or changes in climate RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Geological Evolution 500 Which theory states that the continents were once one giant land mass? RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Natural Selection 100 Which part of Darwin’s theory of evolution may be used to describe the results when lions prey on antelope? A. B. C. D. Homologous body structures Survival of the fittest Adaptation to environment Variation in species RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Natural Selection 200 Which term best describes a specially developed characteristic that enables an organism to live in a specific environment? a. adaptations b. natural selection c. survival of the fittest d. variations RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Natural Selection 300 Which statement supports the theory of Natural Selection? a. All organisms produce more offspring than can survive. b. Organisms live in harmony with one another despite limited resources. c. Organisms with favorable traits are more likely to die d. Over time, advantageous traits will be found in more of the population. RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Natural Selection 400 • Dark moths began to outnumber white moths in cities after the Industrial Revolution. What is most likely the reason for this change? RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD Natural Selection 500 • Which phrase best describes Natural Selection? a. Elimination of the smallest organisms by the largest organisms b. Survival of the organisms which occupy a very large area in the environment c. Survival of the organisms that best adapt to the environment d. Elimination of the weakest organisms by the strongest organisms RETURN TO JEOPARDY BOARD FINAL JEOPARDY! List the 3 eras in the Phanerozoic Eon.
