Answer:

Iron oxides appeared after the emergence of cyanobacteria.

Explanation:

The composition of Earth's atmosphere in the first couple of billions of years of its existence was nothing like the atmosphere of today. This had a big influence on the processes that were taking place, or rather what processes and to what extent could have happened in those conditions. One big difference between the atmosphere then and after is the levels of oxygen.

Until the appearance of cyanobacteria, the oxygen levels in Earth's atmosphere were very low, and the same goes for the oceans. With a lack of oxygen, the process of oxidation was absent as well. The cyanobacteria though managed to produce oxygen, and this was on such a high scale that they changed the composition of Earth's atmosphere and the oceans. Not just that this enabled complex lifeforms to develop, but it also enabled the process of oxidation. Iron oxides for example occurred only after cyanobacteria appeared, and this can easily be seen when dating the oldest iron oxides and compare that age with the appearance of cyanobacteria.

Why are floods in urban areas particularly dangerous?
Igoryamba
In urban areas, there are more people, therefore not a lot of farmland. (that eliminates C) If city buildings don't allow flood waters to recede, that could be dangerous in many ways. (So A is still a reasonable answer) If most cities are built in flood zones, there should be some form of shelter if houses aren't safe. Pollutants and diseases being carried in water are already dangerous, but easier to spread with rapid flood waters that are sweeping everywhere. So your best answer would be either A or B.

Boaters have a responsibility to the environment. what is one of the three rs?
solmaris [256]
The three Rs in boaters' responsibility for the environment are: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle

Since you asked me to explain one of them, I will explain the "reuse"

Boaters have the environmental responsibility to only carry reusable items (such as plates, cups, or silverware) when they're sailing. This will prevent any form of waste from being thrown out into the water.
