Answer:

Both Fossil Assemblage and Radioactive Dating method

Explanation:

Geological time scale is defined as the sequential arrangement of all the major and minor events that have taken place in the geological past since the time of formation of earth about 4.6 billion years back.

This geological time scale is divided, based on the following two segments that together has great importance, and they are as follows-

  • Fossil assemblage- The earth was comprised of various types of simple and complex living organisms, that existed in the past. The remnants of some of these organisms were preserved in the rocks that were deposited a long time back. From studying these fossils assemblages, a large amount of information has been obtained that helped in the division of the geological time scale.
  • Radioactive dating- It is a technique by which the age of a rock, the fossil can be obtained by using the radiometric dating method. This helped in the systematic arrangement of the events which were grouped into major and minor events. The major boundaries were separated from one another by the great mass extinction event that has taken place several times in the past.

Thus, both the fossil assemblage and radioactive dating method, together are the important factors based on which the geological time scale was divided.

How were you going to solve the problems brought by climate change in South Africa<br>​
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Climate change is a global phenomenon. The intensity of the impacts will vary across the globe. For example, in the low lying islands, sea level rise will be the obvious impact, cause the water wells/bores to become salty. This will also pose threat for crops and plants to grow. For larger islands and continents(as is for South Africa), increasing temperature will lead to prolonged dry season and drought. Also frequency of rainy season leading to flooding. In similar context, will also affect food production.

Back to the question, how were you going to solve the problem? This is a tough question that have challenged scientists, academics, policy makers and the ordinary citizens like us for decades now. There are two words commonly used when dealing with impacts of climate change, Adaptation and mitigation.

For adaptation, one have to look on tangible solutions to response to the impacts. Example for salt water killing crops, plant crops that can withstand brackish water. This is only an example.

For mitigation, this is what our leaders have been discussing during the COP conferences. To reduce the amount of greenhouse as including CO2 pumped into the atmosphere by industries.

So the question, both adaptation and mitigation measure will have to be adopted. But you cannot solve the problem, only adapted to the changes.
