OLga [1]3 years ago

Fossilization is a process that requires certain conditions so that it can take place. The climate is very important, a hot and wet place is not a place where there's a chance of finding fossils, while the places with permafrost are a much better candidate because the bacteria can not dissolve the organisms. The pressure also can play a vital role. A place that manages to keep the organisms safe from outside influence, like the tar pits, are excellent preservers. Also the structure of the organisms play a key role, a boneless organism is very hard to preserve and be fossilized, while an organism with bone structure has a bigger chance of being preserved.

The San Andreas fault is a strike-slip fault. What type of plate boundary is
zalisa [80]

Answer:

It is classified as a right lateral (dextral) strike-slip fault. Although both plates are moving in a north westerly direction, the Pacific Plate is moving faster than the North American Plate, so the relative movement of the North American Plate is to the south east.

Explanation:

The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault that extends roughly 1,200 kilometers (750 mi) through California. It forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, and its motion is right-lateral strike-slip (horizontal).

What year is it currently on the Aymaran calendar
denpristay [2]

According to the Aymaran calendar it is the year of 5,528.

Explanation:

There are lot of calendars around the world, some being widely used, some less, some only locally, and some can be considered as abandoned from one reason or another. One type of calendar that is used locally is the Aymaran calendar. This calendar is practiced only in parts of Bolivia, southern Peru, and northern Chile.

The Aymaran calendar is actually one of the oldest that is still in use. While the majority of the world has just celebrated the year of 2,020 according to the Gregorian calendar, the Aymaran is way upfront of it. According to this ancient calendar it is the year of 5,528, meaning that this calendar started off in the year of 3,508 BC. Despite the backlash of the Catholic Church in order to ban this calendar and the celebrations related to it, the people still manage to stand strong and keep their traditions alive.
