The correct answer is - fossil distribution.

The distribution of the fossils around the globe, is one of the biggest evidence about the continental drift theory. This is because there are lots of fossils that are belonging to the same species, but are found on different continents.

All of the organisms are unique, and even with parallel evolution, the organisms can not become identical, even though they look similar. In other words, the same species can not be found on places that are isolated from one another, thus it is a nice proof that the continents in the past were moving.

Answer:

i hope it's help you☺

What type of angle is it? <br>What is the measurement?

romanna [79]

Below I have included an image that has the measure of all of the angles on it.

We can find the measures of the angles here due to the laws about complimentary angles. A pair of complimentary angles can be formed when 2 lines are perpendicular, and when added together, will always equal 90. The pair are the angles that are not directly adjacent from each other. In this figure, "x" and "(4x-10)" are a pair. According to another law, opposite angles, or adjacent angles, will always be equal to each other. Using the logic above is how we can find the measure of all angles.

Since one angle has a box, we know the lines are perpendicular, and that the laws of complimentary angles apply. We can also use that to see that the angle diagonal from it is equal to 90.

To solve for the other measures, we need to add the 2 equations together and set them equal to 90 (because of that law we talked about before).

x+(4x-10)=90
5x-10=90
+10+10
5x=100
/5 /5
x=20

Now that we know x equals 20, we can substitute that value in and solve.

x=20

=(4x-10)
=(4*20-10)
=(80-10)
=70

We also know this is correct because 20 and 70 equal 90.

Compare and contrast the coral reefs of india and australia.<br> pls answer it fast

Delicious77 [7]

The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for over 2,300 kilometers (1,400 mi) over an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometers (133,000 sq mi).

<h3>What are coral reefs?</h3>

Coral reefs are underwater structures made from calcium carbonate secreted by corals. Coral reefs are colonies of tiny living animals found in marine waters that contain few nutrients. Most coral reefs are built from stony corals, which in turn consist of polyps that cluster in groups.

<h3>Coral Reefs of India:</h3>

India has four coral reef areas: the Gulf of Mannar, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep Islands, and the Gulf of Kutch. Coral reefs protect humanity from natural calamities. They provide revenue and employment through tourism and recreation.

<h3>Coral Reefs of Australia:</h3>

The reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, Australia, and is separated from the shore by a strait that is up to 100 miles wide and 200 feet deep in places. The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest single structure built by living beings, visible from space.

Fog in the morning over lakes and river bottom beca

luda_lava [24]

A fog is just a cloud at the ground. Fog formation can occur in two ways. First, the air is cooled to the dew point which leads to the formation of fog droplets. When the air temperature is the same as the dew point temperature, condensation occurs on tiny particles floating in the air. The second method of fog formation requires water to evaporate from the surface into the air, raising the dew point until condensation occurs.
