We can infer of the two paragraphs that Geological movements are often hazardous when they happen quickly, and that the movement of plate boundaries does not always cause disaster.
The excerpt is telling us that "the <span>earthquakes caused a lot of damage, as well as dramatic changes to the local ecosystem", which is supporting the conclusion: "geological movements are often hazardous when they happen quickly."
But is also telling us that "</span>The slip caused several rock formations and structures to develop cracks. However there was no large-scale disaster or disruption.", which is supporting the conclusion: the movement of plate boundaries does not always cause disaster."
Certain fossils, called index fossils, help geologists match rock layers. To be useful as an index fossil, a fossil must be widely distributed and represent a type of organism that existed for a brief time period. Index fossils are useful because they tell the relative ages of the rock layers in which they occur.
Prokaryotes: Organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and therefore have DNA floating loosely in the liquid center of the cell. Prokaryotes divide, and thus reproduce, by simple mitosis.
