Paleontology

A trace fossil is one that merely indicates that an organism left evidence of its existence. Some examples would be burrows or footprints that appear in sedimentary rock. An index fossil is of an organism that dates to a particular time in the geologic record, the organism only appearing in a certain segment of that record. Index fossils are indicators of the age of the rock in which they are found.

The prepositional phrase is "about dinosaur extinction" and the object is "extinction."

The word "dinosaur" is called a "noun adjunct" rather than an adjective.

Obsidian is a volcanic glass which forms when a high silica melt solidifies quickly after eruption. Organic and chemical are terms used to classify sedimentary rock. Obsidian is an igneous rock type.

Based on the popular theory that the dinosaurs went extinct due to the impact of a large asteroid, scientists think that the asteroid caused large amounts of debris to fly into the atmosphere, blocking out the sun. This caused global temperatures to drop, thus freezing the plants. In addition, without the sun the plants could not carry on photosynthesis, which caused them to die.

As the asteroid enters the atmosphere, most of the asteroid burns up, super heating the hunk o' rock, so that when it comes in contact with the surface, it drastically changes the climate of the surface, something not many animals can survive. Even if they survive, the smoke will kill most of the survivors anyway. But, most of the aquatic animals will survive.

Folding involves bending or creasing a material along a line to create a sharp edge, while tilting involves moving an object or surface at an angle away from its original position. Folding results in a permanent change in shape, while tilting typically involves a temporary or adjustable change in orientation.

Diamond is considered the shiniest mineral due to its high refractive index and exceptional ability to reflect light.

While ice can be strong in terms of its physical properties, like hardness and cold temperature, it is not considered an element in the traditional sense. Elements refer to the basic chemical substances that make up the universe, such as oxygen and hydrogen. In terms of strength, other elemental materials like metals or minerals may be considered stronger depending on the context.

No, lavender is not a mint. Lavender belongs to the Lamiaceae family, while mints belong to the Mentha genus. Lavender is known for its fragrant purple flowers and is commonly used in aromatherapy and cooking, while mints are known for their aromatic leaves and are often used in culinary dishes and herbal teas.

ooo yes Jim bakker is still alive and well he is in branson with a new complex like heritage usa...also starting a new tv network for his show the ministry is on nearly 600 acres its is called morningside he is re-married to lori and they have adopted 5 kids..

The Samoan islands are estimated to be around 1.8 million years old. They were formed by volcanic activity and are part of the Pacific Ring of Fire.

Yes, pressure is a key factor in the formation of metamorphic rocks. It can come from the weight of overlying layers of rock (known as lithostatic pressure) or tectonic forces (known as dynamic pressure). The pressure can cause changes in the mineral composition and texture of existing rocks, resulting in the formation of new metamorphic rocks.

No, the Yellowstone supervolcano did not cause the extinction of the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs went extinct around 65 million years ago, while the most recent major eruption of the Yellowstone caldera occurred around 640,000 years ago. The extinction of the dinosaurs is most commonly attributed to a combination of factors, including a meteor impact.

The oldest fossils can typically be found in sedimentary rock layers, specifically in locations with well-preserved rocks that have not undergone significant geological activity like metamorphism. These fossils provide valuable insight into the Earth's early history and the evolution of life.

An era is a period of geologic time which varies in length but is many millions of years. For instance, the current era of geologic time, the Cenozoic, has lasted for over 65 million years to date.

No, dinosaurs first appeared in the Mesozoic era, specifically during the Triassic period. The Paleozoic era preceded the Mesozoic era and was home to a different group of animals, including early fish, amphibians, and reptiles.

Art first appeared in prehistoric times when early humans began creating cave paintings and rock art, dating back tens of thousands of years. These artistic expressions served various purposes, such as storytelling, communication, and spiritual or ritualistic practices. They represent the earliest forms of artistic creativity by humans.

The last 2 million years of geologic time is represented by the Quaternary period. It is characterized by repeated glaciations and interglacial periods, shaping the Earth's surface as we know it today.

Cenozoic, Paleozoic, and Mesozoic are examples of geological eras that represent distinct time periods in Earth's history. They help classify and organize the vast timeline of Earth's evolutionary and climatic changes. Each era is characterized by specific events, such as the rise of mammals in the Cenozoic era or the dominance of dinosaurs in the Mesozoic era.

Most geologic activity occurs along tectonic plate boundaries, where plates interact by converging, diverging, or sliding past each other. This interaction results in processes such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building. These areas are also where new crust is formed, recycled, and transformed, making them hot spots for geological activity.

The concept of epoche, in phenomenology, is important because it allows investigators to suspend their assumptions and preconceptions about a phenomenon. By bracketing off these biases, researchers can approach the phenomenon with a more open and unbiased perspective, which can lead to a deeper understanding of its essential features. Epoche helps to reveal the structures and meanings inherent in the phenomenon itself, rather than imposing external interpretations.

Lichen. Lichens are symbiotic organisms formed by a fungus and either an alga or a cyanobacterium living together in a mutualistic relationship. The fungus provides structure and protection, while the alga or cyanobacterium provide nutrients through photosynthesis.

A fossil mold is formed by the impression left in rock by the remains of an organism. A cast fossil occurs when the mold is filled in by precipitating minerals.
