Scientists devised the geologic time scale after noticing differences in fossils as they progressed from oldest to youngest sedimentary strata. They divided Earth's past into many pieces of time when similar creatures were on the planet using relative dating.
Geological time units are based on visible, sequential changes in Earth's rock layers. In geology, the Law of Superposition asserts that sediment and rock strata are deposited in chronological order, with the oldest layers on the bottom and the youngest ones on top.
Answer:
fossils found in different rock layers can help scientists determine the age of rocks and what environment therein. The textures of each sedimentary layer tells us the environment that was present at that location when the layer formed

Line AB passes through points A (-3, 1) and B (3, 3) as shown on the coordinate grid. The
slope of the line is 1/3.
Which equations for line CD is PARALLEL to line AB and contains the point (6,5)?
Answer:
y=(1/3)x + (13/3)
Explanation:
since line cd is parallel to Ab gradient is same for both line.
Therefore equation of line cd
y= (1/3)x + c
6= (1/3)*5 +c
c = 6-(5/3)
c = 13/3

Which of these cities is in the
Southern Hemisphere: Paris,
France; Tokyo, Japan; Lima,
Peru; Washington, DC?
Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{\text{Lima, Peru}}[/tex]
Explanation:
If a city is in the Southern Hemisphere, it is below the Equator, or at latitudes less than 0°.
Paris, France is located in Europe. The entirety of Europe (not including territories) is in the Northern Hemisphere. So this is eliminated.
Tokyo, Japan is in the Pacific Ocean between Russia and China. Both of these countries are completely in the Northern Hemisphere. This is also eliminated.
Lima, Peru is located in South America - the entire country of Peru is located within the Southern Hemisphere, meaning that this city is in the Southern Hemisphere.
Washington DC is located in the USA, which is completely in the Northern Hemisphere (excluding territories). This is eliminated.
Hope this helped!

Explain what paleomagnetism is and how it supports the theory of continental drift. *
Answer:
the branch of geophysics concerned with the magnetism in rocks that was induced by the earth's magnetic field at the time of their form. The record of the strength and direction of Earth's magnetic field (paleomagnetism, or fossil magnetism) is an important source of our knowledge about the Earth's evolution throughout the entire geological history. This record is preserved by many rocks from the time of their formation.

2.2. The Population Reference Bureau reports the world 's mid-2010 population as 6,892 million (or 6.892 billion). If India were to maintain its current fertility rate, how would its 2100 population compare to the current global population, in percentage terms?
Answer:
Compared to 2100 the present population is 80 : 90 %
Explanation:
According to the population bureau, the population of India in mid-2010 was about 6.8 million, which increased to 1,38 bn in 2020. if the rate of the increasing population continues then India will have 1,447 million (1.09 billion) by 2100 as the world population is estimated to be 16 billion. As India is a developing nation has a large fertility rate but with the passage of time, the fertility rate will decline due to the increse instandrds of living and more working class.How does the Executive Branch keep the Judicial Branch and Legislative Branch in check?
