These are called Subduction zones.
Answer:
B. Aerobic bottom water
D. High organic productivity in the overlying oxygen rich water
Explanation:
A Shale is a sedimentary rock usually formed from silt and clay-size mineral. There are different colors of Shale. The Black Shale is formed under anaerobic conditions. This means that oxygen is deficient in the water where the Shale forms.
A little amount of organic materials is required for the formation of Black Shale and because Black Shale is formed in an environment lacking oxygen, an oxygen-rich water would not be necessary for its growth. Sediments are necessary in the formation of Black Shale.
Superposition and geologic timescale support the theory because of the changes in features in index fossils of diverse periods are presumed to be caused by evolution, and the existence of different organisms in different periods is then used to support biological evolution.
