Answer:
Exposed
Explanation:
When the ice age ended, the glaciers slowly retreated until they reached their current extent limited to the polar regions and alpine mountain climates. The land covered by ice had also been depressed by the weight of the massive glaciers and consequently began to rebound in the centuries following the retreat of the ice sheets. These once frozen lands also turned into large boreal forests with rich ecosystems.
Uruguay is the smallest Spanish speaking country in South America.
Answer:
All dinosaur fossils found by archeologists have been found a few centimeters below the iridium layer. So, the possibility of finding dinosaur fossils above the iridium layer is very slim.
Explanation:
Over 65 million years ago, dinosaurs roamed the earth but were canceled out as a result of an extraterrestrial impact on the earth's crust. Research proved that an asteroid brought the end of dinosaurs as the element iridium was found in the earth (since iridium is abundant in asteroids and not the earth's crust).
Records of fossils found have been between 13 to 60 centimeters below the iridium or the K-T boundary as it is called.
Answer:
There are several tectonic provinces collectively called as crystalline providences.
Explanation:
- The geology of Appalachians consists of Blue Ridge, Piedmont, Adirondack, and the New England providences. They are known as Crystalline provinces.
- The sinking of the oceans continued about 270 million year ago due to which a huge mass of rocks was pushed westwards along the margins of North America and piled up to form the mountains.
- The Sierra Nevada is the youngest mountain range on the west coast of the United States.
