Answer:

2. Hip bones

Explanation:

More than 40 million years ago, whales had ancestors who walked on land. Even now, they have a feature they inherited from them - hip bones. Scientists used to think that they are vestigial, i.e. that they lost their function. However, recently they discovered that these bones help whales (and other marine mammals who have them, such as dolphins) maneuver better mating.

Whales developed the rest of the listed features later, when they became marine animals. This is why they are incorrect.

Which of the following will NOT cause mass extinction?
aliya0001 [1]
Geological change will not cause a mass extinction, because it happens on a too big scale - on the scale of millions of years. During such long time, it is more likely that other causes will influence the survival of extinction of species, such as climate change or environmental disasters, and even if there is a small influence, it would not be significant next to other causes.

Answer;

  • radiometric dating of rocks
  • fossil evidence
  • gradual processes of rock

Explanation;

Radiometric dating confirms that Earth is ancient and explains how extremely slow processes can result in major changes to Earth’s surface. Evidence from radiometric dating indicates that Earth is about 4.54 billion years old. The geology or deep time of Earth's past has been organized into various units according to events which took place.

-The ages of Earth, Moon, and meteorites, radiometric dating has been used to determine ages of fossils, including early man, timing of glaciations, ages of mineral deposits, recurrence rates of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, the history of reversals of Earth's magnetic field, and the age and duration of a wide variety of other geological events and processes.
