Energy efficiency as it flows from a lower to a higher trophic level?
Not all the energy is past on to the different tohpic levels, energy is lost through respiration, movement, feaces, decomposition, keeping warm and growth. Some amount of energy is also in the bones of the organisms because they are not eaten.
Huttons observations of the geologic forces around him allowed him to infer that these same geologic process had operated in the past this idea is now referred to as?
the principle of uniformitarianism
What is unifomitarianism?
The principle of uniformitarianism states that geologic processes that occur today are similar to those that have occurred in the past.
Which word means the history of life in the geologic past as indicate by the Imprints or remains of living things?
fossial
Discuss geologic time scale and its importance to geology?
time scale that geological can back the past of the hundreds of years
What is the elevation of the central valley?
The valley is about 100 feet above sea level on average. There are areas that are higher and lower, but NO PLACE in the valley is below sea level. In the past the valley floor was lower, infact it was an inland sea, but tectonic action raised the valley floor and drained out the water.

A major difference between Catastrophism and Uniformitarianism is?
Uniformitarianism is a principle that geologic processes that occurred in the past can be explained by current geologic processes. So, it is the idea that the same geologic processes that sa and pic just for fun
How do geologists determine that sea level has fluctuated widely in the geologic past?
Sediments and rocks which have content such as sea shells indicate submersion at some particular era.

uniformitarianism
What is the definition of uniformitarianism?
The geologic principle that the same geologic processes that operate today operated in the past to change Earth's surface.
What is a palaeopolyploidization?
A palaeopolyploidization is the development of polyploid organisms in the geologic past.
Why is the geologic time scale used to show the Earth's history?
because the time span of earth past is so great geologic
