Well the topmost layer of the earth (aside from the atmospher) would be the crust. It is made up of tectonic plates that move in different directions. The collisons and abrasions made by these plates sliding and crashing into each other means that mountain ranges pop up like wrinkles, and continents can move around over time. This happens over millions of years.

The main source of heat of the earth that keeps plasticity the mantle is earth’s radioactive core. The part of the mantle close to the core is hotter than that closer to the crust. Therefore, the mantle has convectional currents. These currents drag with them the earth crust above and hence tectonic plate movements. At convergent boundaries, the earth's crust is pressed onto one another to form fold mountains such as the Himalayas. At divergent boundaries, faulting occurs and the subsequent crust depression is filled with water to form oceans.

Base your answers to questions 62 through 65 on the graph below and on your knowledge of Earth science.
yaroslaw [1]
After reviewing the graph you have given with the question, there are several reasons why carbon 14 can't be used to accurately determine the age of organic remains that are 1 million years old. 

A few of the reasons are; Carbon-14 has a short half life, after 1,000,000 years there wouldn't be enough carbon 14, and too little of the original radioactive sample would remain. Any of these choices are correct for the answer to the question you asked.
