To determine the relative age of different rocks, geologists start with the assumption that unless something has happened, in a sequence of sedimentary rock layers, the newer rock layers will be on top of older ones. This is called the Rule of Superposition. ... With absolute age dating, you get a real age in actual years

Pani-rosa [81]

The correct answers are:

- Polar ice caps would melt, increasing sea levels;

With increasing sea levels, as well as change of habitats, lot of animals would find themselves in situation where they will have to migrate, because if they don't, they will find themselves in water and drown, or starve to death.

- Hurricanes and typhoons could increase in intensity;

Because the water in the sea levels will increase, and the water bodies will become even bigger, the hurricanes and typhoons will be able to become stronger and more intense, thus be more destructive as well.

The movement that led to the independence of Bangladesh was very similar to the movement that led to the formation of Pakistan. This is because the separation of these nations can be traced back to the independence of India. When India became independent in 1947, Pakistan separated from the new nation. Similarly, when Pakistan gained its independence from India, Bangladesh separated from the new country. Therefore, these two processes can be seen as subsequent and parallel.
