Anika [276]

Explanation:

from the graph study about oxygen content of Earth's atmosphere, we can understand that  

1)

4 billions year ago = None, 3 billions year ago = Cyanobacteria and Archaea , 2 and 1 billions year ago = Bacteria and Green algae , 500 Ma = invertebrate fossils started to existence. Early land plants came in to existence around 398 MA that is Devonian. Dinosaurs are came in to existence during Triassic and Jurassic that is around 251 Ma. Man and animals are recent organism came under Holocene that is 11000 years ago.

2)

The first cells on the earth are anaerobic microorganisms, as the CO2 level is too high they survive by using CO2.

3)

Starting around 2.7 billion years ago, photosynthesis by Cyanobacteria and later plants , pumped “OXYGEN” in to the atmosphere. This caused the decline of anaerobic bacteria and allows the diversification of animals as seen in “CAMBRIAN” around 500 millions year ago.  

Early vascular plants “CAPTURED” CO2 starting before the Carboniferous period that began around 350 millions year.Leading to lower temperatures and allowing and allowing the seed plants to outcompetes seedless plants.

Modern human activities has raised both “CO2 and METHANE” level in the atmosphere to over leading to higher temperature and extinction of other species.

liam uses a machine that counts waves on a metal cable. The machine counts 25 waves in 2 seconds. what is the frequency of the w
Softa [21]
Frequency is defined as the number of waves per second. In this machine 25 waves pass in one second.
We need to calculate the number of waves that pass a particular point during one second.
During 2 seconds -25 waves
Therefore in one second - 25/2 = 12.5 waves/s.
1 wave per second has the unit Hertz (Hz)
Therefore answer is 12.5 Hz
