Answer:
The Carboniferous era had large deposits of coal matter in the soil. However there was absence of decomposers which gave rise to increased accumulation of organic matter in the soil.
Decomposers make use of oxygen to breathe in the soil due to their existence as animals and not plants. They inhale oxygen and give out Carbon dioxide.
Absence of these decomposers mean increased level of oxygen due to its non usage and reduction in CO2 which is the end product of respiration for the decomposers.
Answer:
“Crust” describes the outermost shell of a terrestrial planet. Our planet’s thin, 40-kilometer (25-mile) deep crust—just 1% of Earth’s mass—contains all known life in the universe.
Earth has three layers: the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust is made of solid rocks and minerals. Beneath the crust is the mantle, which is also mostly solid rocks and minerals, but punctuated by malleable areas of semi-solid magma. At the center of the Earth is a hot, dense metal core.
Earth’s layers constantly interact with each other, and the crust and upper portion of the mantle are part of a single geologic unit called the lithosphere. The lithosphere’s depth varies, and the Mohorovicic discontinuity (the Moho)—the boundary between the mantle and crust—does not exist at a uniform depth. Isostasy describes the physical, chemical, and mechanical differences between the mantle and crust that allow the crust to “float” on the more malleable mantle. Not all regions of Earth are balanced in isostatic equilibrium. Isostatic equilibrium depends on the density and thickness of the crust, and the dynamic forces at work in the mantle.
Just as the depth of the crust varies, so does its temperature. The upper crust withstands the ambient temperature of the atmosphere or ocean—hot in arid deserts and freezing in ocean trenches. Near the Moho, the temperature of the crust ranges from 200° Celsius (392° Fahrenheit) to 400° Celsius (752° Fahrenheit).

Answer:
C) around the base of Kauai, the oldest of the Hawaiian islands
Explanation:
- As the Hawaiian island is located n the southeastern parts of the seen islands spreading from the center and that reaches of the pacific plate margins and lies about the 56,00 km further to the southeast.
- Thus there is a sedimentary layer that is thickest at the older base of the munt Kauai has a greater amount of the from of biodiversity and fossil records. That can be found above the seafloor in the oceanic crust.
