Answer:

A. by observing the formation of sedimentary rocks

Explanation:

Relative age dating does not tell us how many millions of years the rock is. It informs us that this rock is older or younger than another or if it was formed before or after a certain geological event. This is done by observing the formation of sedimentary rocks.

Relative age dating is widely used in geology and manages to bring us a lot of information about the planet's past and the formation of sediments and soil in general.

Think about water and how it rolls up in the beach think of all its qualites is it alive according to the characteristics of lif
gogolik [260]

Answer:

No, I don't reckon that water is alive. I don't think that it is "dead" either. It simply just... exists. However, it DOES hold life within it. But the water itself is not alive, because for something to be considered "alive", it must meet the requirements of responding to stimuli, reproducing and growing, and must be dependent on its environment. Water itself cannot be dependent on an environment, because it IS an environment.

This is just my opinion though :)

What could be some benefits and drawbacks of artificial selection?
hammer [34]
The benefits of artificial selection is that you've taken the traits that you desire from a plant or an animal that could benefit your own survival. (Much like our ancestors bred the highest/most efficient crops, leaving us in a good farming position today). However, the drawbacks of artificial selection is that you effectively destroy any natural selection or "survival of the fittest" thus reducing the gene pool. If a virus or bacteria was effective against a crop that we bred, it would destroy our entire farming industry (also works with animals that we breed).

There are two basic ideas that are key to Darwin's Theory of Evolution. The first is that present day species are descendants of
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer: Natural selection is the driving force to explain the mechanisms  of  evolution.

Explanation:

◼In a given population Organisms usually produce more offspring than what the environment can support.  

◼ VARIATION, is driving force  for  the manifestation of  sustainable inheritable characteristics from parents in a given population.

◼ Organisms, who acquired certain characteristics from variation; tend to survive than others, and therefore pass these inheritable characteristics to their offspring.

◼There is competition for the available resources among the offspring which leads to a stable population in size after a period of time.

◼Darwin deducted that, variants of best adaptation will be selected for by natural conditions operating in the environment of the population at that particular period (natural selection).Therefore natural selection takes place, and the organisms with best variation will have selective advantage above others. Consequently they have higher survival rates compare to others in the population.

This is   survival of the fittest by natural selection , this is the second conclusion  of Darwin theory.
