Fossils help scientists date rocks: True


Sometimes younger rock layers are found beneath older rock layers: True, because it happens with landslides and other causes.


No fossils from the Precambrian era have been found because there were no organisms at the time: False because there were organisims like algae and bacteria, and there are a very small amout of fossils from that era.


The map of Earth has changed over millions of years, but is now set: False

Answer:

1. True 2. True 3. False 4. False

Explanation:

Fossils help scientist date rocks: Fossil presence is one of the most useful characteristics to date a rock, a fossil will set a specific geological age in which the organisms was present in the world, and vice-versa a new fossil can be dated by studying the age of the rock it was found.

Answer: True

Sometimes younger rock layers are found beneath older rock layers: This phenomenon can be found in rock layers near the surface because process such as landslides that happen on the surface moves the surface rocks often resulting in older rocks appearing in the surface and younger rocks being buried by them.

Answer: True

No fossils from the Precambrian era have been found because there were no organisms at that time: Although the number of organisms where very little organisms like algae (Stromatolites) were present in this era and fossils can be found.

Answer: False

The map of Earth has changed over millions of years: but it is now set: The Earth crust is actually still moving, and will always move due to the tectonic plates and their movement caused by density and pressure, Nowadays The countries have moved from their once mapped location, because of this maps are needed to be updated by new geodesic measurements of the surface. Earth crust moves 2.5 centimeters per year.

Answer: False

The Mississippi Delta is an example of which of the following?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

a. zone of deposition

Explanation:

  • The Mississippi delta is located on the northwest part of the state of Mississippi and is the most southern place on earth and is 7,000 square miles of alluvial flood plains are created by the regular flooding of the Mississippi and Yazoo rivers for thousands of years.  
  • The river deposited sand, and clay, silt along its banks and in adjacent basins, and is shaped of a bird's foot reflecting the dominance of the river over the hydrological and processes. As the river changes its course the natural flow of freshwater and sediments change as well.

How does ocean currents affect the climate of a continent?
Aleks [24]
The world’s ocean is crucial to heating the planet. While land areas and the atmosphere absorb some sunlight, the majority of the sun’s radiation is absorbed by the ocean. Particularly in the tropical waters around the equator, the ocean acts a as massive, heat-retaining solar panel. Earth’s atmosphere also plays a part in this process, helping to retain heat that would otherwise quickly radiate into space after sunset.
The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation; it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation. Ocean water is constantly evaporating, increasing the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air to form rain and storms that are then carried by trade winds, often vast distances. In fact, almost all rain that falls on land starts off in the ocean. The tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption, and thus ocean evaporation, is highest in this area. Outside of Earth’s equatorial areas, weather patterns are driven largely by ocean currents. Currents are movements of ocean water in a continuous flow, created largely by surface winds but also partly by temperature and salinity gradients, Earth’s rotation, and tides (the gravitational effects of the sun and moon). Major current systems typically flow clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere, in circular patterns that often trace the coastlines. Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth’s surface. Without currents, regional temperatures would be more extreme—super hot at the equator and frigid toward the poles—and much less of Earth’s land would be habitable.
