No, this is statement is false!
An absolute age is not dependent on anything - it's the age in "years" not "older than" or "younger than".
The position of rocks is more inherent to the relative age of the rocks- relative to the other layers of the rocks.
The agricultural revolution in Britain was very important, if not the most important factor that led to the industrial revolution.
The reason for this is that with the agricultural revolution, the production on the farmlands increased significantly, and that trend was constantly going upwards. That led to a situation where there was much more production than what the country needed, so it had to be traded. But the trade of the crops was still limited, thus something new was needed, something that will enable the manufacturing of the goods, so that they can be preserved better and last longer, so that they can be traded further away. That economic pressure, led to multiple inventions, which resulted in the development of the industry, thus having the start of the industrial revolution.
Answer: Its presence is a good determinant of past hot climates. Its absence can also indicate cold climates.
Explanation:
18O and 16O are oxygen Isotopes, and are used in determining past climates. Heavier than the 16O with 10 neutrons and 8 protons, the 18O does not evaporate as easily and because of this, higher amounts are found in the tropics.
Together, they serve as good determinants of past climate by checking for their ratio in fossils.
Also the 18O isotopes are not present in polar regions as they precipitate before getting to higher altitudes. Cold areas, on the other hand, are high in 16O as they get trapped in glaciers. When climate changes in a location, the quantity of both of these oxygen isotopes also changes.
