<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

<u>index fossil:</u>   are commonly found, widely distributed fossils that are limited in time span. Index fossils also known as guide fossils or indicator fossils are fossils used to define and identify geologic periods . Index fossils must have a short vertical range, wide geographic distribution and rapid evolutionary trends. Index fossils used as guide fossils, indicator fossils or zone fossils , fossils  areused to define and identify geologic periods (or faunal stages).

<u>Examples of index fossils include:</u> Ammonites were common during the Mesozoic Era (245 to 65 mya), They were not found after the Cretaceous period, as they went extinct during the K-T extinction (65 mya).

<u>Paradoxides:</u> is a characteristic Middle Cambrian trilobite(fossil of marine arthropode) of the 'Atlantic' (Avalonian) fauna.Avalonian rocks were deposited near a small continent called Avalonia in the Paleozoic Iapetus Ocean. Avalonian beds are now in a narrow strip along the East Coast of North America, and in Europe.

Paradoxides is a genus of  very large trilobites found throughout the world during the Mid Cambrian period. One specimen of Paradoxides davidis is 37 cm (15 in). It has a semicircular head, free cheeks each ending with a long, narrow, recurved spine, and sickle-shaped eyes, providing almost 360° view, but only in the horizontal plane. Its elongated trunk was composed of 19-21 segments and was adorned with longish, recurved lateral spines. Its pygidium(caudal shield) was comparatively small.

How can a temporary lake create salt flats in Death Valley?
evablogger [386]

Answer:

A temporary lake create salt flats in Death Valley when Holocene lakes began to evaporate.

Explanation:

"Each time it has rained since, a new layer has been added. The flat is a vast area covered in salt that was deposited from evaporated water. When the water runs down the mountain, it dissolves minerals that precipitate out as the water evaporates."

Which of these is a part of good dental hygiene?
natka813 [3]
Yearly dental visits are a part of good dental hygiene because the dentist will check for cavities, fix them, clean your teeth very thoroughly (or whitening treatment), and check the progress and movement of your teeth. They can also recommend when dental surgery is necessary, for instance, if you have extra teeth that can be removed or when your wisdom teeth are coming in. Hope this helps! :)

What happens when magma convection currents move in opposite directions?
Semenov [28]

<u>Answer:</u>

During the "magma convection currents", the plate tectonics are pulled apart from each other. This is because if the "magma convection currents" flow in opposite direction, the plates present floating on the molten magma also float apart, causing divergent plate boundaries.

The plate tectonics are responsible for the movement of continental plates. The molten magma present inside the earth acts as a vast ocean on which the plates move as sheets. So if currents flow away from each other they take the plates along with them too, forming great rift valleys.
