A geologist is studying an ancient stack of rock layers. Most of the layers contain fossils of shallow marine creatures (clams,

corals,
etc.), suggesting the layers formed in a shallow ocean environment. But at the top of the stack, there is a layer that could only have
been deposited by a river.
What does this change in rock layers tell the geologist about Earth's history in the area where these layers formed? (Assume the
layers have not changed position since they formed.)
A.
The environment changed suddenly from a river system to a shallow ocean setting.
B.
The environment changed suddenly from a shallow ocean setting to a river system,
A mass extinction caused a river system to form where there used to be a shallow ocean setting.
C.

sashaice [31]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The papillary muscles of both right and left ventricles began to contract shortly before the other ventricular muscles (systole) so that they can take up the slack on the chordae tendineae as the full force of ventricular contractions sends blood against the atrioventricular (AV) valve flaps.

They prevent the backward flow of blood to atria from ventricles. So if they contract after the ventricle systole they would not be able to perform their job.

Boiga irregularis or brown snake is a slender, climbing snake with a vertical pupil and large eyes, providing it better nocturnal vision. The species has no natural predator. When the brown snake is accidentally released into the island, it will result in local extinction of the majority of the island's native lizard and bird species.

It will also result in cascading ecological influences by eradicating native pollinators, resulting in the corresponding reduction of the native plant species.

Hence, the correct answer will be fewer birds and more snakes.
