Answer:

A fossil found in rocks from one time period

Explanation:

An index fossil is an fossil of an organism which lived at only one time during the evolutionary history. The index fossils are useful since they are only obtained from rock of one particular evolutionary time zone.  Restricted presence of index fossils represents the fact that they lived during a relatively brief period of geologic history. These fossils are used for dating and correlating the various time zones of evolutionary history

Which of the following statements is true regarding both theories and laws? Change over time
Gemiola [76]
I think the answer is D. ( or supported by observations ). Because theories change over time, they both NEED to be proven, they do NOT go off of consensus, but they do NEED to be supported by observations. 
I hope this helps.

Answer:

1) B

2) A

3) C

4) C

5) A

6) D

7) A

8) B

9) B

10) A

11) B

12) C

Explanation:

1) This shows that the rock occupies space as what we are looking at here is volume. (The displacement of water) Let's look at each of the options. It doesn't show that matter has mass because there is no mass balance or any equipment to show the heaviness of the rock. The state of matter (options C and D) is not shown here as any matter, which occupies space, when poured or added to an already filled glass will cause the water to spill. Option C says that matter is a solid, which is false as there are many different states of matter, such as solid, liquid and gaseous state. While a rock is a solid, the statement that matters are solid is false.

3) The term space is not commonly used in the study of science, we usually call it volume. This is because 'space' is quite a vague word as it could mean atmospheric space. More precisely, volume is the amount (or measure) of space a matter occupies.

4) Weighing scale measures the amount of mass (or weight) in a body. Options A and D are units of measurement for length while B is used for volume. Recap: volume is the amount of space an object occupies

5) Here, we are differentiating matter from non -matter

Properties that differentiate a matter from a non- matter are mass and volume. Matters have mass and occupies space (have volume).

6) I. Light is not a matter

II. All matter

III. Heat is not a matter. It is the measure of coldness or hotness in a body.

IV. All matter

9) Option C talks about diffusion.

10) An ion is a charged particle. For example, if an atom gains or loses an electron, it becomes negatively or positively charged and is now known as an ion.

A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together.

12) Atoms are very tiny so centimeters and millimeters would be too big of a unit for measuring them. Gram is a unit of measurement of mass.

<u>☆ Extra:</u>

Mass is the amount of substance in a body while weight is the amount of gravitational force acting on a body.
