<em>leaves appear green because the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll is present in the leaves .. when sun light or any other light falls on leaves ,this chlorophyll absorbs all the other colours of light and only reflect green ..so our eye can only detect this green colour and it seems that leaves or chlorophyll is green but actually the matter is with absorption spectrum..
<u>amazing fact :
</u>
if you fall red light on grass at night ,they will appear dark because they wont have any green light to reflect and they will absorb red light ..so our eye cant detect any colour :)</em>

Answer;

  • radiometric dating of rocks
  • fossil evidence
  • gradual processes of rock

Explanation;

Radiometric dating confirms that Earth is ancient and explains how extremely slow processes can result in major changes to Earth’s surface. Evidence from radiometric dating indicates that Earth is about 4.54 billion years old. The geology or deep time of Earth's past has been organized into various units according to events which took place.

-The ages of Earth, Moon, and meteorites, radiometric dating has been used to determine ages of fossils, including early man, timing of glaciations, ages of mineral deposits, recurrence rates of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, the history of reversals of Earth's magnetic field, and the age and duration of a wide variety of other geological events and processes.
