Answer:A useful index fossil must be distinctive or easily recognizable, abundant, and have a wide geographic distribution and a short range through time. Index fossils are the basis for defining boundaries in the geologic time scale and for the correlation of strata.

Answer:

A fossil is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age. A index fossil must have a short vertical range, wide geographic distribution and rapid evolutionary trends. Another term, Zone fossil is used when the fossil have all the characters stated above except wide geographical distribution, they are limited to a zone and can't be used for correlations of strata.

Explanation:

I really hope that helped. I don't know much about fossils though.

What can scientists learn from magnetic striping patterns? Select the three correct answers.(2 points)
kari74 [83]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

What can scientists learn from magnetic striping patterns? Select the three correct answers.

1. the cause of magnetic pole reversals

2. the year the next magnetic reversal will take place

3. the location of ancient faults caused by seismic activity

4. the exact location of the next earthquake along the California coast

5. the direction plates are moving relative to each other

6. the speed of one plate as it subducts below another plate

Answer:

The direction plates are moving relative to each other

The speed of one plate as it subducts below another plate

The location of ancient faults caused by seismic activity

Explanation:

Magnetic striping patterns are very valuable systems for understanding the factors that promote polar variability of the ocean floor. This is because these systems are formed exactly by changes in this polarity, presenting lines (similar to a zebra), which allow scientists to interpret them and have valuable information about the movement of the direction plates towards each other, the speed that a plate reaches the subduz below another plate and the location and old faults that were caused by the existence of seismic activities.

Alternate Paths
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

sedimentary (ex: limestone), metamorphic (ex: marble), igneous (ex: granite)

Explanation:

sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous are the 3 types of rocks formed by the rock cycle. didnt know if you only needed that or examples of each kind so I gave both. also not important but a fun fact igneous means made by fire, metamorphic (think of a butterfly, they go through metamorphosis) this means they change, and sedimentary (rocks pressed together to form a new one often found after events such as erosion, etc). hope this helps :)
