As the others have said - you need to read the Oracle Concepts manual to get a feeling of what is going on here. Before that, you might want to read the O'Reilly "Oracle Essentials" book to get comfortable enough me terminology to be able to understand the Concepts manual

You will also need to define 'rate of chane'.

However, since your colleagues have you barking up this tree, you can start by looking at the frequency that the log files are switching and the size of the log files. Log file switches are identified in the alert.log file, which you might as well get used to reading on a daily basis if you want to be a good DBA.
