How Much Do You Know About Evolution?

When a species disappears at the end of an era, it means that it no longer exists in the present time. The term used to describe this situation is "extinct." Extinction occurs when a species cannot adapt to changes in its environment or faces other factors that lead to its complete disappearance. This can happen due to natural causes or human activities. Extinction is a significant event in the evolutionary history of a species and is often irreversible. Fossils, on the other hand, are the preserved remains or traces of past organisms, which can provide valuable information about extinct species.

this implies that they came from a common ancestor

Rock layers on the bottom are the oldest and ones on the top are youngest. Law of superposition

only A describes the defintion of evolution

Continental drift says that the continents were once all connected, but are now separated.

Vestigial structures are no longer needed by the individual for survival.

A,C, and D are completly false statements

Ground truth data is collecting data on land, remote sensing is collecting data from satellites

SInce they are not functioning, they are not necessary for survival.

For a fossil to be formed, sediment has to trap the animal. No sediment will be disturbed in a fire.

while some species may become extinct, over 75% would have to become extinct before we could consider it mass extinction.

Geosphere is the Earth's surface features. Biosphere is living things on earth. Hydropshere is water on Earth.

Convection currents cause the plates to move apart

Ocean currents has nothing to do with evolution.

An island sea is an example of how changing sea levels shape the land. Over time, as sea levels rise or fall, the land can become submerged or exposed, creating islands or connecting land masses. This process is influenced by various factors such as climate change, tectonic activity, and erosion. The formation of an island sea demonstrates the dynamic nature of Earth's surface and how it is constantly shaped by the changing levels of the sea.

sensors collect the data

The more pixels you have the better the resolution (picture image).

when land masses split, diversity increases

At transform boundaries, plate rub side to side causing friction which leads to earthquakes

Radiation does not come from the hydrosphere

Only about 1% of all organisms that have lived on Earth, can be found in the fossil record.

pH would require someone to go to the water source to test for.

Biological because the tree is living and mechanical because the pressure of the roots growing caused the break.

Darwin never said that the strong are the only ones to survive. He said that the best adapted survive.

The reflectance curve refers to the fraction of radiation that is reflected off an object at different wavelengths. It represents the relationship between the reflectance of an object and the wavelength of the incident radiation. By plotting the reflectance values across the electromagnetic spectrum, one can analyze how an object interacts with different wavelengths of light and determine its reflective properties.

The radiation has to be able to be reflected back to the satellite to be used in remote sensing

Volcanic eruptions are not associated with radioactivity.

Connecting land decreases biodiversity (having many different species.) Separating land increases.
