D) The Earth was hit by a one or more objects from space 65 million years ago. The iridium layer shows an extraterrestrial cause for the extinction at the Cretaceous Tertiary boundary, discovered by the Alvarez family. The first discovery of this layer was in the Bavarian alps, in Lattengebirge. The Alverez family proposed that the extinction of the dinosaurs was due to a large meteor hitting the Earth at the end of the Cretaceous period, marking the KT boundary with this clay layer which has a high content of iridium. Iridium is not common on Earth, but is common in meteors.

WHOEVER ANSWERS FIRST GET A BRAINLY!!!!Provide a reason why no 2 communities are ever the same. Support your answer with an exam
Advocard [28]

Answer:

No two communities are the same because each one has something specific to them whether it is house structure, rules of the community, how big the community is, and the people that live there.

Explanation:

A great example of this is Weston, FL and Pembroke Pines, FL. In Weston you will find higher class people living there such as celebrities and athletes. The best community to use as a comparison is Botanica Weston. There are mansions in that neighborhood along with many sport icons living there. In Pembroke Pines, it is more of a family based city. In the community Pembroke Falls, you will see more family type houses and a large clubhouse with a pool, game room, and event room to host parties in. Each community has a different identity and no two communities are the same.
