Answer:

The continents have moved over time.

Explanation:

Fossils are one of the best indicators of Earth's history. They are great information about how organisms looked, lived, evolved, but also they show what was the climate like, the geography, and even Earth's processes. The fossils are actually used as one of the best evidence for the theory of plate tectonics.

The reason why fossils are so important for the theory of plate tectonics is that there are numerous species of organisms that have been discovered in different continents that have no connection at present whatsoever and are far away from each other. It is practically impossible for exactly the same organisms to evolve in different places, especially not in different environments. In multiple specimens of a single species are left in several different environments, if they survive, they will all evolve different characteristics, not remain the same. This proves that continents that now are not connected, in the past were actually merged together, but because of divergent plate boundaries have moved away from each other.

julsineya [31]

Answer:

Correct answer is 4. Under 2.5 people per sq. mi. (VERY low density)

Explanation:

Option four is the correct because areas such as Sahara have a low density and are not populated. The conditions of living are not allowing people in these type of areas to create some larger permanent settlements. The similar case is for example in Australia where 3/4 is covered with desert, which is practically uninhabited. Or we can also created a parallel with Greenland which also has a low density due to climate factor.

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Non-conformity

Explanation:

The Precambrian rocks are mainly characterized by the presence of igneous and metamorphic types of rocks, typically schist, gneiss, and granite. These are much older than the Cambrian sedimentary rocks.

The unconformities are usually defined as the time of non-deposition, which creates gaps in the geological rock sequences.

The type of unconformity that occurs in the above-given condition is the non-conformity. This type of unconformity is found when the older igneous or metamorphic rocks are underlain by the younger sedimentary rocks.
