Answer:
Fossil records and carbon contents.
Explanation:
- The type of the sedimentary that are present in the Himalayas were the marble, dolomite and silts stone and shale and limestone as per the geologic records the carbon dating of the rocks reveals there ages as per the data collected from the accumulation of the sediments. The upliftment of seas and also the fossil life of the plants and animals that were found during that period.
Answer:
"Dr. Randall Irmis is a famous paleontologist, who has gone on to make important discoveries since he showed the Penn State CAUSE class this fossil plate from the armored vertebrate Buettneria."
Explanation:
<u>Based on the discussions in the textbook and lecture on the topic of evolution, it is likely that:
</u>
- All species alive today are completely unrelated to Buettneria.
- Some species alive today are essentially identical to Buettneria.
- The most similar species alive today are related to but recognizably different from Buettneria.
Temperature and density increases from the crust to the core.
Answer:
A. The Asthenosphere is solid rock able to flow because of it's plasticity.
D. The Mesosphere is solid rock that remains rigid.
Answer:
Caspian Sea
Explanation:
The largest lake in the world, or often referred to as a landlocked sea, the Caspian Sea, is the body of water on which both Russia and Iran come out and have borders on it. Iran occupies the southern part of the Caspian Sea, while Russia occupies the northern half of its western part and the northwestern part. The other three countries that have their share in this lake are Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Azerbaijan.
The Caspian Sea is actually a lake, as in order to be classified as a sea it has to be connected with the rest of the ocean and sea waters, and it is not, it is landlocked. It has saline water though, which is why it is referred to as a sea. The saline water in it is there because this lake is a remnant of a once very large ocean, Tethys, that was stretching all the way from Spain to Indonesia, and from the central part of the Indian Ocean to Central Asia. With the movement of the Indian plate toward southern Eurasia, and the African toward western Eurasia, this ocean was closed down. The collision of these plates with he Eurasian caused the formation of numerous mountain chains as well, so Tethys was totally destroyed, only leaving behind it remnants like the Caspian Sea deep inland.
