Relative dating is used to determine a fossils approximate age by comparing it to similar rocks and fossils of known ages. Absolute dating is used to determine a precise age of a fossil by using radiometric dating to measure the decay of isotopes, either within the fossil or more often the rocks associated with it.

That's how you know the age of fossils hope this helps diamonds in the name

laiz [17]

Peter and rosemary discovered a natural ecosystem with an extreme climate, oscillating between cycles of intense drought and abundant rainfall, as well as an uncontaminated area that had never been explored by humans. This was an excellent location to study the evolution of Galapagos finches.

  • For their outstanding long-term studies showing evolution in action in Galápagos finches, Peter and Rosemary Grant are renowned.
  • They have shown that natural selection is responsible for the incredibly quick changes in body and beak size in response to variations in the availability of food.
  • Due to the lack of predators or rivals for the finches, Daphne Major makes an excellent location for research.
  • (The cactus finch is the only other finch on the island.)
  • The weather, and consequently the availability of food, has a significant impact on the medium ground finch's capacity to survive.

How have increased carbon dioxide levels and temperatures affected living organisms?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:  

Carbon dioxide is a gas which is released in the atmosphere as greenhouse gas, burning of fossil fuel, released in respiration process. Rise in the levels of carbon dioxide and other gases has resulted in increase in global temperatures. Increase in carbon dioxide and temperatures are responsible for weather fluctuations and global warming.

Weather fluctuation means untolerated heat and lack of precipitation or rain. Weather fluctuations will affect seasons. Seasons are necessary for maintaining the life cycle of organisms. Inappropriate seasons due to climatic change will affect the life of living organisms.

Global warming is an issue which is mainly due to release of hot heat trapping  gases from green house and other sources, increasing the atmospheric temperature. This will result in melting of ice from glaciers in world. The inhabiting animals living in the glaciers will suffer a lot from this as they cannot tolerate warm climatic conditions.
