What provides evidence of an increase in animal species at the same time that atmospheric oxygen concentrations increased?
12345 [234]

Answer:

Fossil records provide evidence of an increase in animal species at the same time that atmospheric oxygen levels increased.

Explanation:

A huge diversification among animal species occurred with the increase in the levels of atmospheric oxygen. The reason why the number of species increased drastically was that a whole new world opened up, the land. The land was open for exploitation and taking over, with every single niche free, so animals diversified and filled in pretty much all of the niches. The fossil records give us clues when this happened, as from only microorganisms there is a sharp rise in complex animals, coinciding with the increase of oxygen levels.

If it wasn't for the increase of atmospheric oxygen though this wouldn't have been possible. The oxygen in the atmosphere enabled animals to breathe on land. Also, it cooled off the global temperatures which were too high before the increase of atmospheric oxygen, making them suitable for life. And last but not least, the atmospheric oxygen resulted in the formation of the ozone layer, a layer that started to act as protection from the UV rays.

What is the smallest part in your body
Aleks [24]
What’s the smallest muscle in the human body? The stapedius, in your middle ear, measures about 1mm in size (or 1/26 of an inch). Connected to the stapes bone, it contracts to pull back the stapes and help protect your inner ear from loud noises. The stapedius also contracts to keep your own voice from sounding too loud in your head.
What’s the smallest bone in the human body?
Conveniently, that would be the stapes. It is one of three tiny bones in the middle ear that convey sound from the outer ear to the inner ear. Collectively called the ossicles, these bones are individually known as the malleus, incus, and stapes. Those are Latin words for the shapes the bones resemble: a hammer, anvil, and stirrup.
What’s the smallest organ in the human body?
You’ll find the pineal gland near the center of the brain, in a groove between the hemispheres. It’s not an organ like those in the abdominal cavity. It’s the human body’s smallest endocrine gland, and it produces melatonin, a hormone (derived from serotonin) that affects how we sleep, wake up, and react to seasonal changes. It’s called pineal because it’s shaped like a little pinecone.
What’s the smallest blood vessel in the human body? <span>Capillaries, the smallest, thinnest-walled blood vessels in the body, connect veins and arteries. They can be as small as 5-10 micrometers wide — or 50 times thinner than a baby’s hair. Each of us contains about 10 billion of them, with the average adult body containing about 25,000 miles of capillaries.</span>

Explain why water used by plants and animals today has been around for millions of years.
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

All the water that is on earth today is the water that has been on the planet. Freshwater is a million years old. The same water is flowing in a continuous loop in the form of falling as rain and snow from the clouds to the earth’s surface. Running in rivers and ponds. This is due to the water cycle. The cycle where the water evaporates in the atmosphere and is from the atmosphere and then cloud loses the water as rain or snow.
