{This message is from message 281 of the "Introduction To Geology" topic. I thought that it deserved to be and would be best as its own topic. - Adminnemooseus}
So here is a rather good quiz that you should do well on if you have read and understand what Dr.A has written here.
19 topics with 10 questions each about geology. I regard a test/quiz not as a test to see what you know but as a way to point you to what you don't understand so you can find out about it.

I think this quiz is good and covers a lot of what Dr.A has talked about. It is, from my viewpoint as a working geologist, very simple, but I think if you can get around 70% on the quizes Dr.A has done a good job.
What do you think?

Pressie,
Perhaps you would enjoy this short article by Univ. California Museum of Paleontology on Leonardo Da Vinci.
His remarks about the flood and basic observations about geology are very close to what you we trying to get across to Faith earlier today. Maybe Leonardo would have had more luck.
I'm sure you know who discovered x-rays, radium, that F=ma, or who the volt, and ampere were named after. Is Darwin mentioned in begining biology textbooks? I mean, who cares what he said?
BTW I didn't make this test but if it was in the text it's fair game on a quiz.
Would this be better? Here are 20 minerals please outline for me the steps, simple tests, observations and descriptions you would follow to indentify them yourself. (However that is not covered in the course so, I guess all anyone knows is to ask a geologist what they are.)
