tamaranim1 [39]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The civilization of Ancient India was able to develop to a high level because of the natural barriers that protected it and somewhat guranteed its safety.

Explanation:

Ancient India had one of the first civlizations that developed in the Old World, part of the so called river valley civilization. The civilization in queastion is the Hindus Valley Civilization. This civilization is not just known for its great developement and being highly advanced for the time period in which it existed, but also for being the most peaceful one without a single evidence that suggests there have been a single military conflict, be it with invaders or internal conflicts.

The explanation for this is very simple. The people of this civilization lived in a safe environment because of the protection of the biggest moutain chain in the world, the Himalayas. The Himalays were simply a barrier that invading forces were not able to go through, meaning that the Hindus Valley Civilization was safe from attacks and its people could focus only on the development of the society, ingage into science, phylosophy, architecture, crafts, etc.

Index fossils can provide information on the environment at the time they were deposited. True False
Anettt [7]

Answer: True

Explanation:

The index fossil are the fossils that are of animals and plants that remained preserved in the rock of the earth. It describes the particular span of the geological time or the environment. An index fossil can be easily recognized, is widely distributed and abundant.

The index fossil is the basis for defining the boundaries of the geological time scale with the correlation of the strata.

Those organisms which exhibited the short vertical range that is the life span on earth and the wide lateral range that is geographic distribution can be included as index fossil.

These fossils are indicative of the environment in which the organism used to live.

How can you explain rock evidence of Pangea?
otez555 [7]

i. Using fossil evidences

ii. Similar rock lithologies at the edges of continent

iii. Climate clues

iv. Fitting of the continents into a puzzle

v. Sea floor spreading

Explanation:

Pangea was a super-continent on the earth which formed about 330 million years ago during the Paleozoic and began breaking up during the early Mesozoic, about 175 million years ago.

Most of the present day continents formed as a result of the separation of the Pangea in the early Mesozoic.

The first scientist to propose the existence of this super-continent was Alfred Wegener in 1912. He suggested the continental drift hypothesis to explain the separation of the land masses.

Today, the theory has been revised to the theory of plate tectonics which provides a better mechanism to understand the drifting of the continents.

Here are some of the evidences to support the existence of Pangea;

  1. Using fossil evidences: Mesosaurus, a reptile animal that lived during the Permian, was found in both South America and Southern Africa. Since this animal could not swim nor fly, only a jointed landmass could have made them present in both continents.
  2. Similar rock lithologies at the edges of continents: rock formations at the Western edge of Africa and South - Eastern part of Brazil matches with one another and have been believed to be once joined together.
  3. Climatic clues such as glacial tills that are confined to temperate and polar regions have been found in tropical regions.
  4. Wegener fitted the present day continent into a giant supercontinent and this provided a visual support for his claim.
  5. Evidences from sea floor spreading revealing magnetic reversals at divergent margins suggests the prevalence of plate tectonics i.e moving plates on earth.

This among many other evidences underscores the existence of a supercontinent called Pangea.
