The most striking visual difference between taiga and tundra is the presence of trees. The taiga has a thick forest of conifers such as pine and spruce, while in the tundra trees are absent completely

Answer:
Subsidence is so slow that there seems to have been no depression of the upper surface of the lithosphere, so depositional environments are mostly the
same as those in surrounding areas; the succession is just thicker. These
successions are also more complete, however—there are fewer and smaller
diastems—so at times the basin must have remained under water while surrounding areas were emergent. (A diastem is a brief interruption in
sedimentation, with little or no erosion before sedimentation resumes.)
Size, shape: rounded, equidimensional, hundreds of kilometers across
Sediment fill: shallow-water cratonal sediments (carbonates, shales, sandstones),
thicker and more complete than in adjacent areas of the craton but still
relatively thin, hundreds of meters.
Hopefully that helps!
Answer:
The answer is Option B, 3 half-lives.
Explanation:
Potassium–argon dating (K–Ar dating) is a radiometric dating method. It measures the radioactive decay of an isotope of potassium (K) into argon (Ar). Potassium is a common element found in many materials like clay and certain minerals. The technique is best suited to dating minerals and rocks more than 100,000 years old. For shorter timescales, it is unlikely that enough argon (40 Ar) will have accumulated. This dating method is used by geologists and paleoanthropologists in order to understand very great expanses of time and the deposits that the earth has formed. One paleoanthropological example of how the technique has been used is in bracketing the age of deposits at Olduvai Gorge where hominin remains have been found. The scientists have dated lava flows above and below the deposits where fossils have been found. Other paleoanthropological discoveries have also been dated using this technique. It is well suited to sites that show evidence of volcanic activity, as in the case of East African sites like Hadar, Ethiopia.
