The correct answers are options:
1. Amphibians evolved before land reptiles.
4. Elephants appear in the fossil record after dinosaurs became extinct.
The relative dating is a technique of dating with respect to any past event. In this case, two events are discussed to be occurred in a sequence related to one-another. In the option 1, the amphibians are said to be evolved before reptiles. So, the evolution of the amphibians is relatively dated with the evolution of reptiles. Same in the option 4, the evolution of the elephants is relatively dated with the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Evaporation of ocean water and formation of sea ice both increase the salinity of the ocean water.
Answer:
Ocean circulation patterns is directly linked with the marine ecosystem. El Nino event hinders the climate interaction of ocean.
Explanation:
- The disturbance in the ocean climate interaction transfers the essential nutrients into the deep down ocean leaving very tiny amount at the surface. It lacks the support to plankton growth.
- Ocean circulation patterns can sometime make the ocean food ecosystem less productive.
- El Nino event reverses the ocean current. Surface waters in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean become significantly warmer than usual during this event. So the drifting starts towards east direction (normally driven west).
