Complete question:
You hang a swing from a live tree branch that is roughly parallel to the ground. What will likely happen over time as the tree grows? Check All That Apply 
- The swing will move farther away from the tree trunk. 
- The swing will move up. away from the ground. 
- The swing will remain in its original position. 
- The swing's ropes will become embedded in the branch.
Answer:
The swing's ropes will become embedded in the branch.
Explanation:
 The trunk or branch strangulation sadly occurs very often. When people tie a young tree with different materials, such as a rope, or a cable, or a wire, and leave it there, the leash will eventually strangulate the tree. 
Strangulation occurs because the tree keeps growing, applying pressure on the leash. The vascular system is in the trunk perimeter under the crust. Through the years, the pressure increases, the trunk is even more strangulated, and the vascular system is affected. One of the first and principal effects of strangulation is the increase in the trunk or branch diameter over the leash. This diameter change is because elements of the sap can not go back to the roots and keep near the strangulation. At this point, there are two options:
- The tree can sort this by including the leash in its tissues, surrounding and absorbing it, and keep growing normally
or
- The vascular system is so affected that the tree can not sort this problem and so, those parts of the tree located over the leash dye. 
 <em>In the exposed example, it seems that the tree could make it and included the swing's ropes in the branch. </em>
 
        
             
        
        
        
<span>The correct answer is A, B and D. Biogeochemical cycles are central to the ecology of earth system. They make the essentail elements accessible and available for the organisms, and maintain their levels, so that the ecology is ot disrupted. The elements move through abiotic and biotic factors, in these cycles, and a state of equilibrium is maintained n the ecosystem. The carbon dioxide levels are responsible fr the temperature of the earth. If Carbon cycles would not have existed, then there would have been a disruption in maintaining the global temperature. Biogeochemical cycles basically continuously recycles the essential materials, for sustaining the life-forms.</span>
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The options are
Complex
Identical 
Inconsistent 
Non-testable
The Answer is Identical 
Explanation:
The groups of scientists in different parts of the world who are dating fossils found in a rock layer of the same geologic time period. The findings have to have some common characteristics which links it to being in the same geologic time period. 
This however validates the fossils having to be identical to match those found in other parts of the world.
