Answer:

Two important examples of isolated languages are:

Basque: Basque is spoken by around 750,000 people in the Spanish Autonomous Community of Basque Country, and in the French department of Pyrenees-Atlantiques.

Basque is so isolated that it is a pre-Indo European language, and has survived over the years because the Basque Country is very mountainous, and because the Basque people have gone great leaps to protect it.

Korean: spoken by about 77 million people in both North Korea and South Korea, Korean is actually an isolated language because it does not have any close relations with any other language, or language family.

It has survived because Korea has been an important East Asian civilization since over one thousand years ago, and the prospect of this language is more positive than ever because of the increasing economic and cultural power of South Korea.

How do geologists use index fossils to determine the age of rock strata?
love history [14]

The index fossils are fossils that are found in the rock strata of certain geologic period, but they are also fossils that are very common and can be found in numerous places around the globe.

Because they can be found all over the globe, and they are indicative of certain geologic period, the geologists have started to use them as a simple way of determining the age of the rock strata. While this method can not provide the geologists with an accurate year for the formation of the rocks, it is still able to determine the relative age of the rocks. By determining the relative age with such ease by using the index fossils, the geologists are able to immediately make conclusions about the rock strata, have basic information about it, and largely be aware of the processes that formed them and influenced them.
