Would you expect to find dinosaur fossils in undisturbed rocks that are above the iridium

Geography

MrRissso [65]2 years ago

Answer:

All dinosaur fossils found by archeologists have been found a few centimeters below the iridium layer. So, the possibility of finding dinosaur fossils above the iridium layer is very slim.

Explanation:

Over 65 million years ago, dinosaurs roamed the earth but were canceled out as a result of an extraterrestrial impact on the earth's crust. Research proved that an asteroid brought the end of dinosaurs as the element iridium was found in the earth (since iridium is abundant in asteroids and not the earth's crust).

Records of fossils found have been between 13 to 60 centimeters below the iridium or the K-T boundary as it is called.

Are the following geologic events: volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, meteorite impacts, and storm deposits geologic events encomp
Reika [66]

Explanation:

Catastrophism is the theory that the Earth has largely been shaped by sudden, short-lived, violent events, possibly worldwide in scope, this contrast with Uniformitarianism that suggests that the landscape developed over long periods of time through a variety of slow geologic and geomorphic processes.

To meaningfully study the past, we must assume the same or similar mechanisms operated then as now, following this idea we conclude that uniformitarianism is a more logical theory, <em>geologists then consider periodic catastrophe (volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, meteorite impacts, and storm deposits) is one of those processes uniformitarianism suggests.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
