Answer:

By looking at similarities like the composition, sequences and Index Fossils if present

Explanation:

To correctly match a certain Rock layer with another the geologist use different methods to find the similarities of a rock layer in an outcrop between them. The first step is to determine the characteristics of the rock layers, and the sequence, depending on the types of rock and their shape, for example, a rock layer can be a Gneiss, Basalt, Sandstone, etc.

In case Index Fossils are found the geologist correlates them with a certain geology period, For example, a trilobite would be related to a Devonian Period.

With these data, the geologist compares the structure and similar formations characteristics found in outcrops and the possible Age of the rock layers with the Index fossils.

The biomass of cultivated land approximately equals the biomass of temperate grassland. True or false?.
pishuonlain [190]

True,  The biomass of cultivated land around equals the biomass of temperate grassland.

According to this graph, algal beds and coral reefs have the most increased net primary productivity. The net primary productivity of an estuary ecosystem is around 12 times the net prior productivity of the open ocean.

<h3>What is the biomass of a plant?</h3>

Plant biomass (W) is the weight of living plant material included above and below a unit of ground surface area at a provided point in time. Production is the biomass or weight of organic matter incorporated by a society or species per unit land area per unit time.

<h3>What is biomass presentation in crops?</h3>

Biomass is emanated from organic material such as trees, plants, and agricultural and urban waste. The prevalence of biomass produced by EU agriculture comes in the formation of biogas, and feedstocks for making biodiesel and bioethanol.

How do geologists use index fossils to determine the age of rock strata?
love history [14]

The index fossils are fossils that are found in the rock strata of certain geologic period, but they are also fossils that are very common and can be found in numerous places around the globe.

Because they can be found all over the globe, and they are indicative of certain geologic period, the geologists have started to use them as a simple way of determining the age of the rock strata. While this method can not provide the geologists with an accurate year for the formation of the rocks, it is still able to determine the relative age of the rocks. By determining the relative age with such ease by using the index fossils, the geologists are able to immediately make conclusions about the rock strata, have basic information about it, and largely be aware of the processes that formed them and influenced them.
