Here's an explanation to help answer the question

Eons are divided into eras, which are in turn divided into periods, epochs and ages. The terms "eonothem", "erathem", "system", "series", and "stage" are used to refer to the layers of rock that correspond to these periods of geologic time in Earth's history.

Answer:

D. Eras and then smaller periods based on geologic and biologic events that occurred.

Explanation:

Geologic time corresponds to a chronological scale that encompasses the billions of years of planet Earth, from its origin to the present day. Geologic time is represented on the geological time scale and is divided into four units, namely: eons, ages, minor periods and epochs. This division is based on geological and biological events that have occurred since the formation of the earth to the present day.

We need to distinguish between the geological timescale and the historical timescale. Geologic time refers to the process of the emergence, formation and transformation of planet Earth. Historical time, in turn, refers to the emergence of human civilizations and their capacity for written communication.

Solids will usually sink when placed in their own liquids. Which is an exception?

WATER

Solids will usually sink when placed in their own liquids with the exception of water

Explanation:

Ice (the solid form of water) floats on water that is cooler than 4 degrees centigrade. This is unlike any other material and this phenomenon has been referred to as the ‘water anomaly’.

Most substances will sink in their own liquid because the solid form is denser than the amount of their own liquid that they displace when immersed. This is because the particles in the solid are closely packed together hence there are more particles per volume than in the liquid form.  

Water however, expands at temperatures below 4 degrees and hence ice is less dense than water at 4 degrees and below. The particles in ice are farther apart than particles of water at 4 degrees and below. There is, therefore, more particles per volume in the liquid form of water than in ice – making ice less dense.

a possible explanation for this occurrence is that a test tube or dropper was accidentally used repeatedly without being sterilized, causing sample cross-contamination. DNA in this test case did not confirm that the father of the second child was another client of the fertility clinic who had never met the mother...therefore this is a possibility.
