Answer:

The placement of fossils throughout the surface layers of Earth made the geologists decide where one division of the geologic time scale ends and the next begins.

Explanation:

Fossils play a major role in identifying or deciding the geologic time scale eras or eons. Fossils are the only evidence in the form of specimen remains like bones, leaves, shells, teeth, or burrows, tracks etc all of which provide information about life on Earth during a particular time.

Fossil placement on earth’s surface creates fossil records. On the earth’s surface like rocks, a younger fossil will be buried on a layer above the older fossil layer. Each layer will represent a unique life form that existed during a time period and determines the division of geologic time scale.

In fact each of the eras like Paleozoic, Mesozoic, or Cenozoic ends with the suffix zoic since the time change of these eras is based on the evolution of animal life during that period .

What are possible origins of Earth's surface and internal energy?
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The flow of heat from Earth's interior to the surface is estimated at 47±2 terawatts (TW) and comes from two main sources in roughly equal amounts: the radiogenic heat produced by the radioactive decay of isotopes in the mantle and crust, and the primordial heat left over from the formation of Earth.

Read the passage “ a river for everyone”, then answer two questions below.( the entire passage is in the image above)
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

1. Moving the facilities such as crops, lawns, golf courses, and sewers etc would be unrealistic to change because many of the owners would not comprise (costs so much already), yet there are solutions. For example, the town can restrict farmers from poluting the rivers with pesticides as well as fining them and the house developments golf courses and land owners in which the money can be used towards the filteration cost. Another idea would to build cheaper wells to soak up water from different river locations or build barriers around settlements from the river. Another idea would to simply grow natural filters such as using the trees and soil they already had.

2. Of course their are limits such as costs, and figuring out the landscapes of where to build wells, add soil and trees (trees take time to grow) and more that would need plan of action from community leaders in which the people would need to speak with the advisors or the management of the buildings nearby. Without clean water people will get sick or die, and building managers need healthy people to live in their houses and work and grow crops so they'll have to make change.
