Which process always causes a profile to become thinner index fossils?

<u>Answer:</u>

The process of compression always causes a profile to become thinner index fossils.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • When a fossil is subjected to increasing pressure over years of development of layers of earthly material over it, it automatically undergoes compression and is shrunk down to become a thinner index fossil.
  • Once the fossil undergoes the process of compression, it becomes extremely hard to excavate it.
  • These unexcavated fossils later undergo the process of mineralization and get converted into certain minerals of usually untraceable origin.

The index fossils are fossils of widely organisms that would live shortly in one period. They do help the geologist in matching the rock layers. In order to be a good index fossil it should be widely distributed.Hope this helps.

Answer:

Question 1: getting there

Mars- between 150 and 300 days depending on where mars is in relation to the earth, the speed of the launch, and the exact travel path that will be taken

Uranus- about 9 and a half years

Question 2: weather

Mars- the atmosphere is completely thin, and an extremely cold planet, with an average temperature of around -80°

Uranus- has very strange seasons due to its tilt, has a surface temperature of about -300°F, strong winds, and sometimes clouds made up of methane ice crystals

Question 3: clothing

Mars and Uranus- both mars and Uranus are unsuitable for humans, you would most definetly need a full body space suit such as the Z-2 Spacesuit created by NASA

you can answer the rest based off imagination and Google for facts

In this exercise we used global distributions of dinosaurs. How might the FADs and LADs differ if we focused on dinosaurs within
Alika [10]

FAD's and LAD's would differ if we focused on dinosaurs within a certain region because of migratory patterns. Similarly, focusing on species levels would decrease the available data.

FADs or First appearance datum is a term used by scientists to refer to the first appearance of a species. Like-wise, LAD is used to refer to the last appearance of a species in the record.

If we were to focus on dinosaurs within a certain region, the FAD's and LAD's may be quite different. This is due to the migratory patterns of certain dinosaurs. Perhaps a certain species has a much more distant FAD or LAD in one region than it does in another because that dinosaur may have taken many years to wander to another region of the Earth.

Like-wise, limiting our search to a species level can impact the LAD or FADs. The taxonomy hierarchy is as follows:

  • species
  • genus
  • family
  • order
  • class
  • phylum
  • kingdom
  • domain

increasing in scope, Domain is the level that holds the highest variety of organisms. In contrast, species is the most specific, so limiting our data to a single species level would greatly affect the LADs and FADs because it lowers the number of dinosaur species that we take into account.

Why do terrestrial planets have meager atmospheres whereas the atmospheres of jovian planets are substantial?
son4ous [18]
<span>Terrestrial planets were formed in a territory where it was too hot for ice and gas to condense but the Jovian planets formed in colder locations. The terrestrial planets also are too small in size  to apply the gravitational pull which is required to hold very light gases in their atmospheres.</span>
