klemol [59]3 years ago

Usually to begin they use the process of relative dating, then chemical dating. Then look at where the environment that we found the fossil to determine if it has always been that environment.  When fossil is found in marine life in a country town suggesting that the environment was previously a marine environment.  Study the rocks that they found the fossils to help determine a relative age. This came before that, but after them to give us an approximate age. Then study the fossil itself to classify it into groups to determine which branch of evolution it has come from. Fossils can be found in rocks, bedding planes, (rock layers), trees (tree ring dating). Mostly there are found in rocks or weathered rocks (sands, mud).

Which type of soil can cause lateral movement (water travels sideways) to ditches carrying nutrients with it?
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Sandy soil

Explanation:

Water movement in soils is called <em>soil hydrology.</em> The soil texture, the soil structure and gravity affects soil hydrology.

In sandy soil, the particles are largest compared to other types of soils, and these particles are held loosely together.

Water will move laterally in the soil profile if there is enough pore space in that soil (which sandy soils possess). This movement is aided by the capillary action of water in small spaces. The water will bind to the edges of the pores and slowly move laterally and even upward if the voids are small enough.
