Think about the gas released as a result of fracking shale. Compare this energy resource to the conventional resources we have b

een using throughout the last one-hundred and fifty years. Using the model seen here, compare the age of the coal we have been using to the gas produced by the fracked Marcellus shale. A) Coal formations are much younger than the shale. B) Coal and shale formations are about the same age. C) The shale is younger than the coal formations we use today. D) Scientists cannot determine which layer is older than the other.

The answer is A because coal formations are much younger than the shale.
<span>If we use the </span>law of superposition<span>, we can predict the relative age of each. The coal, closer to Earth's surface, is younger than the deeper shale.</span>

identify a probable reason that the dark moths survived while the light moths did not during the industrial revolution
nignag [31]

Answer:

directional selection

Explanation:

The directional selection is a type of Darwinian selection where a particular phenotype is favored in the population, thereby modifying the allelic frequencies to increase the proportion of the favored phenotype. <em>Biston betularia</em>, also known as peppered moth, is a species that was influenced by directional selection in its recent past. Before the industrial revolution, the frequency of light-colored moths was predominant compared to the darker-colored phenotypes, because this color has higher adaptive fitness in a clean, no pollution environment, thereby light-colored moths were able to avoid predatory birds. However, during the industrial revolution, the frequency of dark-colored moths increased in response to pollution (i.e. darker environment), thereby conferring a higher adaptive fitness to darker phenotypes.

How does geographic distribution of organisms support evolutionary theory?
Serga [27]
Because the organism is distributed across the world, and isn't seen anymore, scientists can conclude tat they must have evolved. They can compare one species to the fossils they may have found, and determine that they were related. Then by looking at the species on another part of the world compare the same fossils to other animals and determine that they are similar, sharing a common ancestor.
