The answer is:
_______________
The hydrosphere.
Answer:
B
. Areas near the equator get more direct sunlight so the temperatures are higher.
Explanation:
At equator, the sun is always over head and hits the surface directly. The surface is no at an angle to the sun.
The insolation here is very great and they received more direct sunlight.
- Due to the high insolation, the temperature is higher than most part of the earth.
- Rainfall levels are also high as rain cloud easily forms here.
- In most equatorial region, both temperature and rainfall is high all year round.
<u>Answer:</u>
All of the above mentioned options can be used by scientists to date the sediment layer they are found in.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Rock fossils, animal fossils, etc.found in the sediment layer can be used to determine the age of the sediment based on the period of the existence of that animal or the period of formation of the rock.
- Tree rings clearly exhibit the age of the tree. Hence, a sediment layer with the evidence of tree rings can tell the age of the sediment layer.
- An amalgamation of the data obtained from the animal growth rings and the period of existence of that specific animal species can be used to calculate the age of the sediment.
- The intensity of radioactivity left in the isotopes clarifies how old the isotope is.
- The age of mineral elements can be determined exactly with the help of processes like Potassium-Argon dating, Uranium-Lead dating, etc.
- Thus it would be easy to determine the age of the sediment layer containing mineral elements.
