Answer:

The characteristics of fossils that are most useful in correlating sedimentary rock layers are:

Wide geographic distribution but limited to a particular formation.

Explanation:

the reason behind this answer is because the correlation of sedimentary rock layers requires a geographic distribution large enough to preserve all the fossil elements. However, it requires to be only a zone delimited to the body of fossilization because otherwise, it could contain elements from another fossil.

This question had choices. They are the following:
(1) Limited geographic distribution but found in many rock formations
(2) Limited geographic distribution and limited to a particular rock formation
(3) Wide geographic distribution but limited to a particular rock formation
(4) Wide geographic distribution and found in many rock formations

My answer is: 3) Wide geographic distribution but limited to a particular rock formation.

True or False? : A good scientific experiment will only test one variable. Everything else will be kept constant.

True! because if you have more than one variable, you aren’t going to know which variable changed the dependent variable.

How could life on Earth change if both Carbon Dioxide and Ozone levels began to decrease? Describe at least two ways life would

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Increase occur in skin diseases and decrease occurs in the Earth's average temperature.

Explanation:

If both Carbon Dioxide and Ozone levels began to decrease, increase occur in skin diseases and decrease occurs in the Earth's average temperature. The decrease in ozone levels allows more UV radiation to reach the Earth's surface which lead to various diseases such as skin cancer, cataracts, and weakened immune systems. The atmospheric carbondioxide gas is responsible for the increase of surface temperature by trapping reflected solar radiations so decrease in carbondioxide concentration will leads to lower surface temperature.
