What argument convinced most scientists in the 1800s that Earth was more than 6,000 years old? O The discovery that radioactive isotopes could be used to determine historical dates O Arguing that everyday observable geological processes (like erosion) could explain large geological features if they had occurred for millions of years, rather than large catastrophic events that happened suddenly O The discovery that Earth orbits around the sun, rather than the sun orbiting around Earth O The discovery of fossils

For this activity, you will be reviewing the geological time scale in the module readingassignment from the Geological Time chapter in the PRI Digital Atlas of Ancient Life –online textbook and the Earth History chapter from the OER Commons Earth ScienceTextbook. Use the images of the geologic time scales in your readings to help you makeyour Geologic Time Scale concept sketch nstructions:Sketch and label a geologic time scale. Include dates of the following events in EarthHistory on your time scale in the appropriate time period (you may have to look these up onthe internet but most are listed in your readings). First appearance of free oxygen in the atmosphere Earliest fossils Oldest animal fossils Great Dying Extinction (worst mass extinction at end of the Permian Period) – alsoexplain possible causes of this extinctionArchaeopteryx sp. appeared First Flowering PlantsTyrannosaurus rex appeared K-T Extinction event (Dinosaurs died out) – also explain possible causes of…

A fossil is found to contain the radioactive parent and daughter isotopes uranium 235U, and lead 207Pb, in the ratio 12.5% to 87.5%. Assuming that no 207Pb was present when the fossil first formed, estimate the age of this sample.Please show some thought process and a therefore statement. Thank you very much, have a great day!
What theory of fhe origin of life do you think is most possible?why?
Why do scientists think that all forms of life on earthhave a common origin?
It has been suggested that the current time should be made into a different period. In other words, it should not have been part of the Holocene period due to the extreme changes man has made to the earth. If you were a scientist tasked to give a name to the period of today what name would you give it and why?
Which eon has more events occurring in it? During which eon did life evolve? What is the difference between background extinctions and mass extinctions?
Scientists are examining the possible role of a large asteroid in the cretaceous mass extinction event. A large asteroid strike would likely have caused rapid climate cooling and the diffusion of sunlight. which of the following statements are the best null and alternative hypotheses when scientists look at the geologic evidence of extinction related to the asteroid strike?
