CFA LS4.1 Review

What can be said when comparing the age of layers A, D,C and B? 

• C & D are the same layer because they notice an index fossil and the same type of rock. A & B are younger than D.  

• A & D are the same layer because they are at the same level. B & E are younger than D.  

• All of the layers are from the Mesozoic Era.

• C & F are the Same age because the rocks in those layers are the same type of rocks.

Based on the information provided in the image What could have happened to layers A & B in Column 2?

• They died

• They were never there in the first place

• Weathering and erosion caused those layers to erode away at that location

• They were melted and turned into a different kind of rock

• E,F,B

• A,D,E

• None of them

What type of environment existed at the time these fossils were formed?

• Mountain top or Plateau for all layers

• The top layers were tropical or water/ aquatic environment; The younger layers were on Land

• They are all in a Desert environment

• Older layers were tropical or water/ aquatic environment 

   Younger layers on land

What is happening in the description below?

Large amount of Different species die off gradually or rapidly.

Those that do not die- have to adapt, evolve to fill those new environments, reproduce (thrive) 

• A mass extinction

• Natural Selection

• Artificial Selection

• Science

What happens to sea levels during Ice Ages and Interglacial periods?

• IceAge: sea levels  drop ( because it freezes in the glaciers) 

  Interglacial pds: Rises because the Ice melts 

• Interglacial pds: sea levels  drop ( because it freezes in the glaciers) 

  Ice age: Rises because the Ice melts 

• All Sea levels drop during Ice ages & Interglacial periods

Which would you find more marine life?

• Ice Age

• Inter-Glacial Periods

What could you say about the layer of Igneous rock in the image?

• No organisms were alive at that time

• There may have been a mass extinction involving Volcanos

• There were so many oceans at that time that igneous rock was the only thing that could form

• The fossils that survived were so small that they could not be found
