Answer:
The answer is Option C: Index fossils.
Explanation:
Index fossils are used to identify geologic periods or faunal stages in rock layers. These fossils must have a wide geographic distribution and manifest obvious evolutionary trends to help geologists and others who need this geological data to better understand the time scale and to pinpoint a time period. For example, ammonites were common during the Mesozoic Era, but they were extinct by the Cretaceous period. Geologists would use ammonites to help determine this time frame if present.

the water level of a stream or river exceeds its natural banks, it has reached
its flood stage. This is a real panic stage for people living nearby the rivers
and streams that has overflowed its natural banks. This flood situation can
destroy any city or village and also drastically impact the financial situation
of the area. Most cities and states move their citizens away from the river
banks before it reaches this danger stage. Before the emergence of
technological advancement, historical evidence proves that many great cities
were destroyed due to such situations. <span /></span>
The convection cell in the mantle is essentially the self-sustaining, constant movement of the magma inside this layer. This works in a very simple way. The hotter magma is less dense, so it is pushed upward toward the crust above it, while the cooler magma is denser, and it moves downward where it gets hotter, and the process goes on and one. The magma that goes upward toward the crust, manages to push through the thinner and cracked crust between the plates that move away from each other, thus on the divergent plate boundaries. As the magma penetrates through the crust it manages to get to the ocean floor, thus causing volcanic activity. This magma cools of very quickly and creates new crust. Because the magma constantly rises up and creates new crust, the crust piles up and forms an underwater mountain of volcanic origin that constantly has volcanic activity because of the rising magma. This volcanic underwater mountain range is called mid-ocean ridge.
