In 1980, a group of scientists from The University of California at Berkeley found an unusually high concentration of iridium in

a rock layer thought to be 65 million years old. Iridium is rare on Earth, but is sometimes found in meteorites. Similar iridium deposits in similarly aged rock were found all over the world. The evidence above supports which hypothesis?
A) Glacial movement ceased 65 million years ago.
B) An asteroid impact started the ice age 65 million years ago.
C) A giant volcanic eruption caused a mass extinction 65 million years ago. D) The Earth was hit by an one or more objects from space 65 million years ago.

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.

How does the acidity of acid rain compare to the acidity of natural rainwater
jekas [21]

Answer:

The acidity level of water is measured by the pH scale. Pure water has a pH of 7, which is neutral. However, natural rainwater actually has a pH of 5.6 because it gets exposed to the gases in the atmosphere, making it a bit acidic. True acid rain will have a pH level measuring from 5.0-5.5.

When thinking about genotypes and phenotypes, which is the cause and which is the effect?
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

A particular genotype does not necessarily guarantee a particular phenotype. Understanding what factors can change this expression is quite complex.. What is what i believe that above statement meant.

Explanation:

Error is the stochastic variation associated with a particular observation of the phenotype (and is managed by use of replication and and appropriate experimental design). The phenotype is the result not only of the average effect of the different alleles at a given locus across test units and across environments, but is impacted by the interaction between the different alleles and the environments (including genetic backgrounds) in which they are evaluated. Phenotype is not simply the sum of the genotype effect and the environment effect, as indicated in the mathematical formula that you provide.

Hope I Helped!!!

VikaD [51]

Answer; All the above
