B. Fossils in upper layers were less weathered and more detailed than those in lower layers.

The correct answer is - A. Fossils in upper layers were younger than fossils in lower layers.

The scientists managed to determine that the rock layers of the mountains and the canyons are arranged by time, and that they are a nice representation of the geological past. Because the scientists proposed this, that also means that the rock layers are undisturbed by geological process, thus they are arranged by age, one over the other, with the oldest being at the bottom, and the youngest at the top.

When it comes to the fossils, this meant that now the scientists can now the approximate age of the fossils, depending on the layer in which the fossils are found. So the closer they are found to the surface, the younger they are, and the deeper they found, the older they, the same as the rock layers.

Answer:

Orange Groves are affected by the climate of the region.  In the US, states such as Florida and Georgia are the biggest orange producers because of their climate. Also, oranges need good soil to grow, so dry soils are not suitable for growing oranges.

Nurseries are more "human controlled" than orange groves. A big human factor that plays  a role in growing the food properly is temperature. If the temperature is too hot or cold, the plants  may not grow properly and might even die. Also,  many nurseries can control the humidity inside the nursery.  Some plants require specific humidities to grow- and are vulnerable to a change in humidity.

Coffee plants require moist soil to be grown well. Thus, if the soil is too dry, the coffee plant may die.  In  other words, a coffee plant would grow much better  in a farm, than a desert. Also, Coffee Plants require a high temperature, and that is why most of the world's coffee is grown in places like Africa and South America as they have hotter temperatures.

How is your local ecosystems linked to the Pacific Ocean
sveticcg [70]
An ecosystem involves both the biological (plants, animals, human beings) and non-biological (land, water, soil, and atmosphere) community which interacts as a system. More importantly, the living things are very dependent on the abiotic community since it cannot survive by itself. Every animal, plant and human needs the primary physiological needs of water, food and shelter provided by the abiotic system.  <span> 
</span>
<span>The biogeochemical cycles move through mainly the biotic and abiotic components of the earth, more elaborately the spheres -biospheres, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere regions of the ecosystem. These biogeochemical cycles, from its terminology and discernable word morphology- involves the biological, geological and chemical components that make out to complete an exact and purposed cycle. The purpose in these cycles are to maintain balance and to ensure the ongoing process of the living and non-living organisms in the environment. These cycles’ help to living organisms survive and thrive. One popular example is the water cycle.
