A fossil is any natural evidence of prehistoric life that provides some idea of the size, shape, or form of the organism. A foss

il does need not to be a whole animal or plant. Broken fragments are also fossils, as are the tracks left behind by the organisms. Fossils provide important evidence of how life and environmental conditions have changed. The fossils found in rock formations of different time periods differ because the environment on Earth has changed.
Position of land masses of early Pennsylvania can be determined through fossil records because we know that most plants presently live on land. From this information, we can infer?

Continent drifts

Explanation:

The use of fossil evidences to support the correlation of land masses that are presently not together can suggests that continents do move and land masses can change position.

This was one of the earliest prove suggest by Alfred Wegener to back up his theory of continental drift.

  • Since fossils are evidence of prehisotric life, a place originally together should have the same fossil contents.
  • When they become separated, the fossil contents in their lithology should match.

A baseball is thrown high into the air. As it travels upwards it loses speed and slowly comes to a stop high above the grove wha
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Potential energy

Explanation:

The thrown baseball is converting from kinetic energy into potential energy. When it finally stops at a particular height, it attains its maximum potential energy at the position or point.

  • Potential energy is the energy at rest of body.
  • Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of body.

The more a body speeds, the higher its kinetic energy attained.

As a body comes to rest, at a height, it attains potential energy.

The body during flight decreases in kinetic energy but increases its potential energy due to gravity pulling it to rest.

What compound was formed by the reaction of the first oxygen released by cyanobacteria and iron?
castortr0y [4]
The compound that was formed by the reaction of the first oxygen released by Cyanobacteria and iron are the metals of the earths crust. Cyanobacteria was the first organisms that used water instead of hydrogen sulfide or other compounds as a source of electrons and hydrogen for fixing carbon dioxide. Early Cyanobacteria inhabited marine sediments where Archean banded iron formations were deposited; consisting of reddish layers rich in iron oxide.

The weights of all elements are always compared to oxygen.
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12.

Explanation:

The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12 because the mass of carbon is 12 which is the exactly the sum of protons and neutrons.  

Oxygen was also considered the standard for some time but later this stander was rejected because in natural O¹⁷ and O¹⁸ were also present and this create the two different atomic mass tables.

AMU:

Atomic mass unit is define as the 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12.

C12 has six neutron and six protons in the nucleus.

This unit is used to express the masses of atoms. We know that masses of atoms are very small and we do not have any such type of balance that can measure very small quantity. So that is way we use this scale to measure small quantity. For example, according to this scale

relative atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.008 amu

relative atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999 amu

relative atomic mass of uranium is 238.0289 amu

relative atomic mass of chlorine is 35.453 amu
