Which scientific discovery supports the claim that Earth has changed over time?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Rocks found on different mountains are different ages.

Explanation:

Radiometric dating of rocks and fossil records gives scientists an idea of the timelines of certain organisms. Fossils of long dead species found in different strata of rocks can be used to speculate the age and changes these organisms have experienced overtime.

Fossils found in the uppermost strata are indicative of organisms that died not quite long whereas fossils found in lower layers are indicate of organisms that died a long while ago. These studies also provide insight into the changes that the earth has experienced overtime.

The rate of plate movement is only a few ________ per year so climate changes triggered by shifting plates happen on a scale of
MArishka [77]

Answer:

centimeters

Explanation:

The lithospheric plates move relative to the others at a very slow but continuous speed that is, on average, about five centimeters per year. This movement is ultimately driven by the unequal distribution of heat inside the Earth. The hot material found in the depths of the mantle moves slowly upwards and serves as a part of our planet's internal convection system. Simultaneously, colder and denser sheets of the oceanic lithosphere descend to the mantle, moving the rigid outer layer of the Earth into motion. Finally, the titanic friction between Earth's lithospheric plates generates earthquakes, creates volcanoes and deforms large masses of rock in the mountains.  But it causes climate changes to be experienced every million years.

Where is the world, or better yet, Earth?
mash [69]

Answer:

In its most general sense, the term "world" refers to the totality of entities, to the whole of reality or to everything that is. The nature of the world has been conceptualized differently in different fields. Some conceptions see the world as unique while others talk of a "plurality of worlds".
