How do tree rings and ice core help scientist understand how earth has changed overtime?
They allow us to "know" (calculate - estimate [it depends]) what conditions were like at a known time in the past.
Is altitude the condition of Earth's atmosphere at a particular time and place?
NoAltitude plays a role in determining the state of the air at a particular place and time, but that's not what the word means. It means the distance of your location above the average sea level.Weather is the condition of Earth's atmosphere at a particular time and place
Why is it difficult to divide precambrian time into smaller time units?
The Precambrian interval of earth history is difficult to study because of its tremendous age. Many of the original rocks have been destroyed by weathering and erosion, or have been greatly altered by heat & pressure during burial, a process known as metamorphism.
What scientist came up with earth is more than a thousand years old?
No specific scientist came up with the observation that the Earth is more than a thousand years old, it is patently obvious since many scientific observations and documentation was written down before that span of time. As far as determining the actual age of the Earth (about 5 billion years) the sciences of geophysics, astronomy, geochemistry and others contribute to the proof of this position.
Why have scientists had a difficult time determing the age of earth.?
doesn't say anything
What scientist theorized that processes that shape Earth's surface occur very slowly over time?
Hutton
What do scientist believe happened 4.6 billion years ago?
Earth and the other planets formed around this time.
How do tree rings and ice cores help scientist understand how Earth has changed over time?
Scientist drill into ice and remove ice cores for study. Scientist analynze air trapped in the ice to learn how the atmosphere has changed. Scientists can develop an accurate history of overall weather patterns over time.
What is the importance pf undertaking historical research?
Without historical research, it is difficult to understand anything from that perspective. By researching, a scientist or historian can determine the why and how of the time.
when will the next black hole happen And what will happen?

Which process occurred frequently in the early history of the three domains on Earth and makes determining phylogenetic relationships of that time difficult?
Horizontal gene transfer permits gene flow from one organism's genome to another organism's genome, It occurs commonly between prokaryotes of different species, and even between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Did tycho brahe think that the planets orbit around the sun or the earth?
Yes, by his time, the geocentric model was no longer widely accepted and nearly every scientist agreed that the Earth revolved around the sun.
What is planet is 15 more time massive than earth?
None of the planets that scientist know is exactly 15 times more massive than earth, but the closet one is Saturn, it is 18 times more bigger than earth,
How did Copernicus and galileo change peoples ideas about the world during the renaissance time?
