This was a major breakthrough in geology because it meant that sedimentary strata in diverse parts of a country or area could be correlated as belonging to the same formation which means they were formed at the same time historically so helped to put them in the correct sequence. If these strata contained valuable minerals like coal then it could aid in the search for coal. This helped William 'Strata' Smith in England to create his first geological map in the world of a whole country.

Is the sun is the ultimate source for energy on the Earth?
lana66690 [7]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Sun is the ultimate source for energy on the Earth. It is the natural and renewable source of energy on earth as it can easily be renewed and never run off. All living organisms which are present on earth are dependent on food for survival. For this, they become part of the food chain which provides them energy in the form of food. Food chain begins with plants as they are the primary producers in the food chain. They get energy for preparing food from sunlight in the form of light energy.

Moreover, the life forms which existed millions of years ago were dependent on sun for energy. The dead remains of these life forms have provided the non renewable sources of energy like fossil fuels on earth.

Thus, the sun is considered as the ultimate source of energy on the Earth.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

A renewable resource is one in which the rate at which its being replenished is higher than the rate at which it is being used up.

For example, the air we breathe is a renewable resource because it doesn't get used up as we draw it.

  • If the rate of drawing down a ground water supply exceeds the rate of its recharge, then such a water source is non-renewable.

Mention two adaptations of endo parasites.
BabaBlast [244]

The two adaptations of endo parasites:

  • Endoparasites (a parasite that lives in the internal organs or tissues of its host) produce some compounds of anti-enzymes which defuse or inactivate the host's digestive enzymes.
  • Endoparasites maintain their osmotic concentration equivalent to or significantly lower than the host cell for easy absorption of host water and nutrients.

There are three main classes of parasites involve:

  • Protozoa include Plasmodium, the single-celled organism. A protozoa inside the host can only replicate, or split.
  • Helminths parasites are worms.
  • Ectoparasites: These are living on, not in their hosts.
