Which statement explains what similar fossils found on distant continents suggest about Earth's history?
Kryger [21]

Answer:

The continents have moved over time.

Explanation:

Fossils are one of the best indicators of Earth's history. They are great information about how organisms looked, lived, evolved, but also they show what was the climate like, the geography, and even Earth's processes. The fossils are actually used as one of the best evidence for the theory of plate tectonics.

The reason why fossils are so important for the theory of plate tectonics is that there are numerous species of organisms that have been discovered in different continents that have no connection at present whatsoever and are far away from each other. It is practically impossible for exactly the same organisms to evolve in different places, especially not in different environments. In multiple specimens of a single species are left in several different environments, if they survive, they will all evolve different characteristics, not remain the same. This proves that continents that now are not connected, in the past were actually merged together, but because of divergent plate boundaries have moved away from each other.

Describe how the chemical composition of Earth’s interior differs from its physical properties. Include specific examples.
boyakko [2]

Answer:

When you find the Earth's chemical structure, you can split the interior into <em>three layers: the crust, the mantle, and the core.</em>

  1. The crust is perhaps the lowest volume layer made up of several minerals formed from silicate.
  2. The mantle underneath the crust is the biggest layer which consists of more porous iron and silicate rock with magnesium.
  3. The core with high density is primarily metal (predominantly iron and nickel).

Through comparison, despite the Earth's physical features, how much the layers react to temperature and pressure, the Earth consists of five layers: <em>the lithosphere, the asthenosphere, the mesosphere, the outer center, and the inner centre.</em>

  1. The lithosphere is indeed the outermost layer of brittle rock which breaks when applying pressure.
  2. The asthenosphere is a porous layer; if a steady pressure is applied it flows.
  3. The mesosphere is below the asthenosphere (corresponding to the middle and lower mantle) and is solid because of the enhanced thickness tension.
  4. Underneath the mesosphere the outer core is liquid (capable of flowing), as well as the inner core is solid.
  5. The same as the mesosphere, as force is applied, the pressure on the inner core creates a hard layer which is unable to move.
