What is surface geologic process?
Surface Geologic Processes also reffered to as, Exogeneous Geologic Processes, are the processes that operates on the Earth's surface and helps to reconstruct the Earth externally. They include, Erosion, Weathering, Mass Wasting, Orogeny. Their agents are called the Epigeal Geological Agents, and include, Wind, Water, Glacier, Waves etc.
Where is the geologic column found in its entirety in the earth's crust?
It is found in earth's rock layers
Has the amount of uranium in Earth increased over geologic time Has the amount of lead in Earth increased?
The amount of uranium decreasesd, the amount of lead increased over geologic times.
How are uniformitarianism and catastrophism used today?
Uniformitarianism is a principle that geologic processes that occurred in the past can be explained by current geologic processes. So, it is the idea that the same geologic processes that same Earth today have been at work during all of Earth's history. Catastrophism is a principle that states that geologic change occurs suddenly. Catastrophies include floods, asteroids, earthquakes, etc. Today, modern geology is based on the idea that gradual geologic change is interrupted by catastrophies.
What is a palaeoclimate?
A palaeoclimate is the climate of the Earth at a specified point in geologic time.
Which geologic process would make a metamorphic rock?
the movement of earth's crust.
How is weathering related to the geologic cycle?
it's related because weathering is PART OF THE geologic cycle. when weathering occurs it breaks down rocks and the geologic cycle means to build up and wear down the earth's process.
What principle states that the geologic process that change earth today also changed earth in the past?
Uniformitarianism... or however u spell it.hope this helped :)
What are geologic forces?
Geologic forces are forces that can change the geography of the land. An example is the Grand Canyon. It was made by the Colorado River curving it out.

What process provides the best evidence that Earth has evolved over geologic time?
rock containing fossilized seashells found on a mountaintop
Why is the geologic time scale used to show the Earth's history?
because the time span of earth past is so great geologic
For what fraction of geologic time life has existed on earth for what fraction of geologic time have human existed on the earth?
Approx 1/22500 of it.
Principle of gravity geophysical exploration and it uses?
Exploration geophysics uses methods to measure all physical properties of earth. It can help to measure physical rock properties. Gravity measure is also a method of geophysical exploration, and can measure varying amounts of gravity on earth. It can be used to find geologic faults and inactive volcanoes.
What is the geologic time scale a record of?
The history of the planet.A record of the geologic events and life forms the earth's history.
What do geologic maps show?
Geologic Maps show the arrangement and types of rocks at the Earth's surface.
The record of life forms and geologic events in Earth's history is called?
the record of life forms and geologic events in earth's history is actually called the "Geologic time scale" fine sir. good day
