Answer: True

Explanation:

The index fossil are the fossils that are of animals and plants that remained preserved in the rock of the earth. It describes the particular span of the geological time or the environment. An index fossil can be easily recognized, is widely distributed and abundant.

The index fossil is the basis for defining the boundaries of the geological time scale with the correlation of the strata.

Those organisms which exhibited the short vertical range that is the life span on earth and the wide lateral range that is geographic distribution can be included as index fossil.

These fossils are indicative of the environment in which the organism used to live.

The composition of the atmosphere is approximately 80 per cent nitrogen and 20 per cent oxygen by mass. At what height above the

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

The composition of the atmosphere is about 80% of nitrogen and is 20% of oxygen by mass.

At a height of more than 20 kilometers above the surface of the earth this pressure decrease as the gases are attracted to gravity and thus decrease in air molecules at the height above or beyond this layer as the region of mixing ends.

Layers above the 30 kilometers are cool and temperature inversion occurs with a low density of air. If assuming the temperature to be fixed at the 25 degrees the pressure with atmosphere gaining height would still not change as rarefying of air particles and only the presence of earth's magnetic field.

As it will keep on getting thinner and thinner and merge into outer space.

How are the five major climate regions related to the three zones of latitude.

g100num [7]

<span> The three zones of latitude :
i) Tropics till 23º.45 (between ± 23º.45)
ii) Temperate zone between 23º.45 to 66º.55. in both Hemispheres
iii) Polar Caps between 66º.55 to 90º, in both Hemispheres.
There are six major climate regions :
1. Tropical rain forests
2. Tropical grasslands (Savannah)
3. Deserts - China climate (from West to East)
4. Mediterranean climate - Temperate grasslands (Steppes, Prairie, Pampa, Veld, Downs)
5. Temperate rain forests - Taiga (from West to East)
6. Polar Ice caps
The matching is ---
1,2 : i)
3,4,5 : ii)
6 : iii) </span>
