Answer:

Some fossils, known as index fossils, help geologists balance rock layers. A fossil must be broadly dispersed to be a valuable index fossil and indicate a form of organism that has lived for a short time. Index fossils are valuable when the relative ages of the rock layers are told.

Answer:

1) Index fossils are of organisms that lived over a wide area. They lived for a fairly short period of time. An index fossil allows a scientist to determine the age of the rock it is in.

2) Relative dating is used to determine a fossils approximate age by comparing it to similar rocks and fossils of known ages.

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Volcanoes can be constructive if they happen in the ocean, as they can form islands and therefore be new places for plants and animals to grow and thrive.

Symptoms of malaria appears when
elena-s [515]
The symptoms do not appear immediately after the entry of sporozoites because hemozoin is not released. Only after the release of hemozoin the malarial symptoms are released. For most people, symptoms begin 10 days to 4 weeks after infection, although a person may feel ill as early as 7 days or as late as 1 year later.
