If a fossil is encased in a stratum of sedimentary rock without any strata of volcanic rock (for example, lava or ash) nearby, t

hen it should be ________.
(A) easy to determine the absolute age of the fossil, because the radioisotopes in the sediments will not have been "reset" by the heat of the igneous rocks
(B) easy to determine the absolute age of the fossil, because the igneous rocks will not have physically obstructed the deposition of sediment of a single age next to the fossil
(C) difficult to determine the absolute age of the fossil, because the "marker fossils" common to igneous rock will be absent
(D) difficult to determine the absolute age of the fossil, because radiometric dating of sedimentary rock is less accurate than that of igneous rock

Option D is the appropriate response

If a fossil is encased in a stratum of sedimentary rock without any strata of volcanic rock (for example, lava or ash) nearby, then it should be

  • (D) difficult to determine the absolute age of the fossil, because radiometric dating of sedimentary rock is less accurate than that of igneous rock
  • Because sedimentary rock radiometric dating is less precise than that of igneous rock, it should be challenging to estimate the absolute age of a fossil if there are no nearby volcanic rock layers (for example, lava or ash) to compare it to.

Identify the parts of the female and male reproductive system and their functions. ​
Lena [83]

<u><em>Female:</em></u>

*Ovaries - release of oocytes (eggs), estrogen and progesterone.

*Oviducts (fallopian tubes) - where fertilization of the oocyte occurs to form a zygote.

*Uterus - where the zygote develops

*Cervix and vagina - allow for the entry of sperm for fertilization

<u><em>Male:</em></u>

*Testes - Releases testosterone and sperm

*Vas deferens - Passageway for sperm

*Epididymis - allows the sperm to pass from the testes and vas deferens and equips them with semen so they can survive internal fertilization

*Penis - releases sperm into the external environment for fertilization to occur

What is the duration of sensory memory?
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Sensory memory is an ultra-short-term memory and decays or degrades very quickly, typically in the region of 200 – 500 milliseconds (1/5 – 1/2 second) after the perception of an item, and certainly <em>less than a second</em> (although echoic memory is now thought to last a little longer, up to perhaps three or four seconds).
