Hi!


The person who first recognized that different layers of rock were home to unique collections of fossils was William Smith.

He discovered that different layers of rock which were representative of different deposition periods (strata) were always oriented in the same manner relative to each other, and that each of these strata contained a unique collection of fossils that pertained to extinct lifeforms.


Hope this helps!

Which cell organelle determines if an organism is an autotroph?
otez555 [7]
The correct answer is chloroplast. If an organism has chloroplasts then it will be an autotroph because it will be able to make its own food by the means of photosynthesis. This is common for plants but there are some bacteria that can photosynthesize as well. If you don't have them you have to feed on other organisms that have energy for you.

Write about how the group of rock layers in record a forme include tilting erosion and folding
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Most sedimentary rocks are formed in level layers. Therefore, the occurrence of tilted rock layers is evidence of mountain building. ... Tilting can also result when rocks are pushed upward, or uplifted. In some areas of the world, rock layers are so severely tilted that they may be bottom side up. Layered rocks form when particles settle from water or air. Steno's Law of Original Horizontality states that most sediments, when originally formed, were laid down horizontally. ... Rock layers are also called strata (the plural form of the Latin word stratum), and stratigraphy is the science of strata.
