The answer is; B
Rocks have naturally occurring and spontaneously radioactive atoms in them, such as carbon-14. These element isotopes decay into other types of atoms over millions of years. Therefore, by measuring the amount of these radiometric substances, and knowing the half-life of the isotopes, it is possible to postulate the age of a rock to within certain ranges of error.
Answer:
option B: one species decreases the probability that a second species will become established
Explanation:
Inhibition as a mechanism of succession occurs when some early species which could also include pioneer species make the site less suitable for the development of other species and do not allow them to become established and grow. When eventually these early species die, other species that were hindered will subsequently grow and become established gradually giving rise to a climax community.
Answer:
Mass
Explanation:
Mass is defined as the amount of matter in a substance. It is usually measured by balances such as the beam balance and scales. It is measured in grams or kilograms depending on the size of the body.
The process of Rock formation involves how a rock is formed which is usually by sedimentation or cooling of magma in volcanic eruptions. In rock formation study,the geologist measures the mass of the rock which enables knowledge of the amount of matter in the rock. This is be used to determine the weight of the rock and the rock type and properties.
