question 61

Multiple Choice

Read carefully through the paragraph below, and decide which of the options is correct. Nineteenth century geologists recognized that no extraordinary means are required to explain geologic features. For example, we can observe the slow, persistent processes of erosion, transportation and deposition of sediment by flowing water and wind. Over the immense span of geologic time these processes result in the formation of great thicknesses of sand, gravel and mud which never consolidate into rock. No cataclysms are required. Using observations of processes and results to interpret other results where the process was not observed is called the Principle of Supernatural.

• B) The word "transportation" should be replaced by "crystallization."
• C) The word "Uniformitarianism" should be replaced by " Supernatural."
• D) The word "never" should be replaced by " eventually."
