For a fossil to be an index fossil, it should be found

Geography
1 answer:
ziro4ka [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

An index fossil should be found in many parts of the world.

Explanation:

A is not correct because if fossils are found in one area than they will not be able to give a general picture of the world in a particular period.

B is not correct because if fossils are found in only two locations they will be able to give information for only those two places, not the rest of the world.

C is not correct because this is simply not possible, not just for the number of fossils required, but also because the majority of the rock types don't provide conditions for fossilization.

D is correct because by being found in numerous places across the world, the index fossils can give a general picture of the biodiversity, but also the climate, and living conditions in a particular time frame.

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Normal fault

Explanation:

Tensional stress occurs as a result of forces which could be wind, water etc pulling the rocks apart and forming faults. Faults are also known as a type of fracture which occurs between rocks.

Tensional stress along a fault can result in a dropped hanging-wall block relative to the footwall side(in a perpendicular position) thereby producing a normal fault.

How is energy from the sun distributed around earth?
amm1812
There are a few different answers to this question, depending on what you are asking. I'll go over the main ones.

1. The Earth's axis is tilted in comparison to the Sun, so days get shorter in the winter months. This is due to less light, and therefore energy, hitting the Earth directly. Instead, that energy either misses entirely, or hits nearer to the Equator. This is why the poles have twenty-four hour days and nights depending on the season. (Night in the winter, day in the summer.)

2. In terms of the food chain, energy from the sun is converted to basic sugars by plants in a process known as photosynthesis, inside the plant's cloroplasts. Small animals such as mice and insects consume the plants, and the energy those plants converted from sunlight. This continues up the food chain until you get to apex-predators (tigers, bears, wolves, owls, etcetera).

3. In terms of electricity, solar panels are made of tons of 'solar cells' which tend to be lots of silicon atoms, which like to share electrons, and a conductive backing. (Pardon me if some of this section is incorrect, I only have a basic understanding of solar panels) When a photon (that is, a light particle) hits the silicon, it bumps off an electron, and the conductive backing catches it, resulting in a electrical current. This current is incredibly small per solar cell, so you need a ton of them to make any sort of useful power out of them. Solar panels do degrade over time, but incredibly slowly, there are some from the 1970's that still generate just as much power as they did originally (if not, only ever so slightly less).

I hope I answered what you needed to know! If you wanted a different answer, feel free to comment with some clarification and I would love to fill you in :)

find an example of two countries that do not border each other yet share similar physical and linguistic traits based on the map
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Two countries that do not border each other: Norway and Iceland.

Norway and Iceland are separated by hundreds of miles of open sea, however, the two countries are very similar, both in culture, language and geography.

Both countries have fjords, both countries are cold during most of the year, and both countries speak North Germanic languages that descend from Old Norse (the language of the Vikings). This is because Iceland was first settled by people from Norway and from the British Isles.

Two countries that do border each other: Slovakia and Hungary

Slovakia is mountainous because it is crossed by the Carpathian Mountains. Hungary is flat.

In Slovakia, the dominant language: Slovak, is a Slavic language closely related to Polish and Czech.

Hungarian, the national language of Hungary, is a Finno-Ugric language that is more or less related to Finnish (but the relation is not that close).
