Geochemistry is an effort, in a lecture/article format, to describe the components of geochemistry.

You are free to take this quiz based on the lecture/article geochemistry at any time.

To improve your score, read and study the lecture, the links contained within, listed under See also, and in the chemistry resources and geology resources templates. This should give you adequate background to get 100 %.

As a "learning by doing" resource, this quiz helps you to assess your knowledge and understanding of the information, and it is a quiz you may take over and over as a learning resource to improve your knowledge, understanding, test-taking skills, and your score.

A suggestion is to have the lecture available in a separate window.

To master the information and use only your memory while taking the quiz, try rewriting the information from more familiar points of view, or be creative with association.

Enjoy learning by doing!

Quiz

Points for a wrong answer:
Ignore the questions' coefficients:

1. Evidence that demonstrates that a model or idea about geochemistry is feasible is called a

for that model.

A short or realization of a certain or idea to its feasibility is called a proof of .

4. True or False, Pure geochemistry involves no doing apart from itself.

TRUE
FALSE

TRUE
FALSE

Research

Hypothesis:

  1. There is at least one geochemistry reaction unique to Earth.

Control groups

The findings demonstrate a statistically systematic change from the status quo or the control group.

“In the design of experiments, treatments [or special properties or characteristics] are applied to [or observed in] experimental units in the treatment group(s).[1] In comparative experiments, members of the complementary group, the control group, receive either no treatment or a standard treatment.[2]"[3]

Proof of concept

Def. a “short and/or incomplete realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility"[4] is called a proof of concept.

Def. evidence that demonstrates that a concept is possible is called proof of concept.

The proof-of-concept structure consists of

  1. background,
  2. procedures,
  3. findings, and
  4. interpretation.[5]
