A student wants to prove that amphibians appeared on earth before birds. The student should use the fossil findings as evidence to provide the most reliable information about the periods when amphibians and birds appeared on earth. Fossils would throw light on the internal body structures that bear the closest similarity to either the amphibians or the birds. The radiocarbon dating of the fossils will reveal its age. This can be used to figure out the time of divergence of the two types.
Direct effects, as the name suggests, while not manipulated or communicated by a third party, deal with the direct influence of one entity on another. Indirect effects can be described as the influence, mediated or passed on by a third, of one organism or species on another.
Answer:
1. an eclipse of the Sun
2. state (phase) of matter
3. 5.0 g/cm3
Explanation:
1. Eclipse of the sun occurs when the planetary bodies align in such a way that causes the moon to block sunlight from reaching the Earth. The eclipse of the Sun will be the most predictable occurrence because it follows a pattern of occurrence. Eclipse of the sun occurs after a specific period of time, hence, based on this, scientists can predict that when it will occur next using its previous pattern of occurrence.
2. Considering the following groups: Group A: water, aluminum, water vapor
Group B: gasoline, ice, air
Group C: alcohol, iron, oxygen
One would realize that each constituent of each group exists in a particular state of matter. For example, in group B, gasoline is a liquid, ice is a solid while air is a gaseous mixture. Same applies for group A and C where water and alcohol are liquids, iron and aluminum are solids, while water vapor and oxygen are gases.
This shows that the STATE (PHASE) OF MATTER was the basis of classification.
3.
Blood clots form when platelets and plasma proteins thicken to form a sort of solid mass. They can form from an injury, blood flowing slowly through your system, or even for no obvious reason.
