- A scientist is determining the age of a rock by comparing their position to other rock layers. By doing this, the scientist is

determining ___. -
A)the date the rock was formed
B) the relative age of the rock
C) the absolute age of the rock
D) the level of radioactive isotope decay in the rock-
-At first I thought it was the date the rock was formed...But I think it wrong, so I looked over the text and now I'm thinking they want it to answer eider B-C relative or Absolute age of the rock. So I can cross off A and D. And by doing that, I had to take a look into my notes, and I notice my notes aren't the best but from what I know, Absolute determines whether it gives up the true ‘age’ of a rock or fossil. And Relative doesn't provide a “true age’’... But now that I'm thinking on it absolute looks to see if it mainly organic or tissue, while Relative mainly sedimentary rocks. So I'm thinking it B now, but I feel like I'm confusing myself with all this. So I wanted to understand this better and get a clear answer to this. If my answer wrong, can I get a short explanation as to why?-

Art [367]

Answer:

Stop habitat destruction

Explanation:

Cutting down and burning forests basically take away the shelter, hunting grounds, and overall habitat away from many species that use the trees as a form of shelter and protection. Removing their shelter, which could be their only form of protection causes many of these organisms to die, not to mention the plants that are necessary to keep the food chain balanced.

Maksim231197 [3]

The hormone to be given is oxytocin. Oxytocin is a hormone produced by the paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus then stored in the posterior pituitary gland (along with antidiuretic hormone or vasopressin) that is responsible mainly for uterine contraction and milk ejection or letdown. Oxytocin induces contraction of the myoepithelial cells in the breast for milk letdown. On the other hand, there is upregulation of oxytocin receptors during parturition which makes the uterus more sensitive to oxytocin. Oxytocin is also known to induce labor and reduce post-partum bleeding.
