Firstly, rocks canhave different cooling rates based on their location, not on their age. Second, there is literallyno connection between cooling rate and age of a rock, the cooling rate influences the size ofthe crystals in the rock, not the age. Lastly, contact heating can alter a rock, which would givea different time then the original rock's age.Comment:You are talking about dating rocks, which is how the age of the Earth is determining, but youare not discussing how one of the three methods contributed to inaccurate ages for the Earth.Use the diagram below to describe the relative ages of the rock units andexplain howyou know.Rock unit A is 90 million years old and rock unit Bis 25 million years old.The first one has been done for you.a)Rock unit D is older than 90 million years, because it formed beforeunit A.b)Rock unit F is c)Rock unit C is Less than 25 million years old, since it formed after BUsing complete sentences, explain why the oldest dated rock (approx. 4.0billion years old) is younger than the age of the Earth (4.55 billion years).between 9025 million years old, since it is on top of A, but disrupted by B.1.00FlagquestionInformationFlagquestionQuestion 5Correct1.00 points out of1.00FlagquestionQuestion 6Correct1.00 points out of1.00FlagquestionAnswer: The Earth was molten at its formation 4.55 billion years ago, so any rock that formed onEarth would have had to do so after the Earth cooled down, making the rock younger thanthe Earth.The correct answer is: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .The remainder of this Learning Journal asks you to rate the extent to which you agree ordisagree with a number of statements about the relevance of science. We value your honestopinions on each of these items. You will receive credit for responding, not for how yourespond (i.e. agree or disagree). Your instructor will not look at your responses to theseitems.Science has nothing to do with local issues, such as waste from nearby factories.Select one:Strongly Disagree DisagreeNeutralAgreeStrongly AgreeThe correct answer is: Strongly DisagreeScience can help me make better decisions about what I buy.Select one:Strongly DisagreeDisagreeNeutralAgree Rocks didn’t start forming as soon as the earth did. For a while the earth was pretty much just a gas ball, and it wasn’t until 4 billion years ago that it stabled, and created what we are familiar with today.Question 7Correct1.00 points out of1.00FlagquestionQuestion 8Correct1.00 points out of1.00FlagquestionQuestion 9Correct1.00 points out of1.00Strongly AgreeThe correct answer is: Strongly DisagreeScience experiments can help me to better understand the world.Select one:Strongly DisagreeDisagreeNeutral AgreeStrongly AgreeThe correct answer is: Strongly DisagreeMuch of what I learn in Geology class is useful in my everyday life today.Select one:Strongly DisagreeDisagreeNeutralAgreeStrongly Agree The correct answer is: Strongly DisagreeLearning science can help me when I choose where to buy a house.Select one:Strongly DisagreeDisagreeFlagquestionQuestion 10Correct1.00 points out of1.00FlagquestionQuestion 11Correct1.00 points out of1.00FlagquestionQuestion 12NeutralAgree Strongly AgreeThe correct answer is: Strongly DisagreeCaring about people is part of making a scientific choice, such as whether to use pesticideson plants.Select one:Strongly DisagreeDisagreeNeutralAgree Strongly AgreeThe correct answer is: Strongly DisagreeScience helps me to make sensible decisions.Select one:Strongly DisagreeDisagreeNeutral AgreeStrongly AgreeThe correct answer is: Strongly DisagreeThe things I do in science have nothing to do with the real world.Correct1.00 points out of1.00FlagquestionQuestion 13Correct1.00 points out of1.00FlagquestionQuestion 14Correct1.00 points out of1.00FlagquestionSelect one:Strongly DisagreeDisagreeNeutral AgreeStrongly AgreeThe correct answer is: Strongly DisagreeScience helps me to make decisions that could affect my natural environment.Select one:Strongly DisagreeDisagreeNeutralAgree Strongly AgreeThe correct answer is: Strongly DisagreeLearning science helps me to work with others to make decisions.Select one:Strongly DisagreeDisagreeNeutral AgreeStrongly AgreeThe correct answer is: Strongly DisagreeQuestion 15Correct1.00 points out of1.00FlagquestionQuestion 16Correct1.00 points out of1.00FlagquestionQuestion 17Correct1.00 points out of1.00FlagquestionMaking decisions can be difficult without reliable evidence.Select one:Strongly DisagreeDisagreeNeutral AgreeStrongly AgreeThe correct answer is: Strongly DisagreeI am interested in learning more about computer technology.Select one:Strongly DisagreeDisagreeNeutralAgreeStrongly Agree The correct answer is: Strongly DisagreeI would like to learn more about strategies for thinking in my science class.Select one:Strongly DisagreeDisagreeNeutralAgree Strongly AgreeThe correct answer is: Strongly DisagreeQuestion 18Correct1.00 points out of1.00FlagquestionQuestion 19Correct1.00 points out of1.00FlagquestionQuestion 20Correct1.00 points out of1.00FlagquestionKnowledge of science helps me to avoid natural hazards.Select one:Strongly DisagreeDisagreeNeutral AgreeStrongly AgreeThe correct answer is: Strongly DisagreeUsing scientific methods helps me make
