There are all sorts of ways to reconstruct the history of life on Earth. Pinning down when specific events occurred is often tricky, though. For this, biologists depend mainly on dating the rocks in which fossils are found, and by looking at the “molecular clocks” in the DNA of living organisms.
There are problems with each of these methods. The fossil record is like a movie with most of the frames cut out. Because it is so incomplete, it can be difficult to establish exactly when particular evolutionary changes happened.
Modern genetics allows scientists to measure how different species are from each other at a molecular level, and thus to estimate how much time has passed since a single lineage split into different species. Confounding factors rack up for species that are very distantly related, making the earlier dates more uncertain.
These difficulties mean that the dates in the timeline should be taken as approximate. As a general rule, they become more uncertain the further back along the geological timescale we look. Dates that are very uncertain are marked with a question mark.
Answer:
The correct option is;
7:32 AM
Explanation:
The information given are;
The time at 45 degrees W and 72 degrees N = 9:32 AM
The variation of time with lines of longitude is given as 15 degrees for each 1 hour variation, therefore, where we have the other location at 75 degrees W and 45 degrees S, the difference in the longitude = 75 - 45 = 30 degrees west of the initial location
Moving west is in the opposite direction of the Earths rotation, therefore, we subtract 1 hour for every 15 degrees giving 30/15 = 2 hours subtracted
The time at 75 degrees W and 45 degrees S is therefore, 9:32 AM - 2 hour = 7.32 AM
The latitude of a place left out in the calculation of the relative time of a place.
