What is the idea or concept that ancient life forms succeeded each other in a definite evolutionary pattern and that the contained assemblage of fossils can determine geologic ages of strata?

This concept is known as the principle of faunal succession, which states that fossil organisms succeed one another in a definite and recognizable order. By studying the fossil assemblages found in rock layers (strata), geologists can determine the relative ages of those layers based on the organisms they contain. This principle is fundamental in stratigraphy and biostratigraphy for interpreting Earth's history.


When a dense forest is leveled by a tornado what growth pattern takes place?

After a dense forest is leveled by a tornado, there is typically a process of ecological succession where pioneer species such as grasses and shrubs quickly colonize the area. These species help to stabilize the soil and create more favorable conditions for the establishment of larger plants and trees. Over time, the forest will gradually regrow and develop a new structure.
