I believe it is spontaneous generation
The following are the statements, which indicates that the fossil record suggests about evolution on Earth:
1. Humans have only recently existed on Earth.
2. The organisms originally lived only in Earth's water.
3. The plants did not have flowers when dinosaurs existed.
The fossil remains have been discovered in the rocks of all the ages. The simplest organisms fossils are witnessed in the oldest rocks, and the fossils of more composite species are found in the newest rocks. This supports the theory of evolution suggested by Darwin, according to which the simple life forms slowly gets evolved into more composite ones.
The question above is incomplete, the full question is given below:
What additional test would be needed to establish the exact position of hydrogen in the activity series of the following elements: magnesium, zinc, lead, copper and silver.
ANSWER
The position of hydrogen on a reactivity series can be determined by its ability to displace oxygen from the oxide of the metal concerned. If hydrogen is more reactive than a metal, it will displace oxygen from the metal oxide and reduce the metal oxide to its metal. If the metal is more reactive than hydrogen, hydrogen will not be able to reduce the metal oxide to its metal.
It is topsoil, subsoil, and parent material
Your answer should be C.) +2. "All the elements in Group 2 have two electrons in their valence shells, giving them an oxidation state of +2."
