Answer:

The seafloor is only 180 million years old due to the process of subduction. The floor of the sea's tends to get colder and denser with the passage of time. At a certain time, the seafloor becomes so dense that it sinks in the upper mantle. The Earth's crust cannot undergo this process and hence has oldest rocks. We can say that the seafloor is less than 180 million years old because it is typically recycled back into the mantle of the Earth.

How could a scientist use the scientific method to learn more about the Cretaceous era?
Alina [70]

First, it is necessary that this scientist decide on what point of the Cretaceous period he wants to study. Among several points he may want to study the evolution of microorganisms of that time, the life of a dinosaur species, or the evolution of dinosaurs, the flora that was established during this period, among others. This is the phase of the scientific method called Observation.

After that, he must enter the phase called "Elaboration of hypotheses" where he will raise questions about the point he decided to study. "How many flower species existed in that period?", "How many of these flowers can we observe today?" among others.

After that, he will enter the phase called "Experimentation", where he will establish a type of experiment and all the experimental factors and variables that will allow the hypotheses to be answered.

After the experiment he will collect the data that will be analyzed and that will give results that will answer the hypotheses previously established. This is the phase called "Analysis of the results".

At that moment, he will be able to reach the last phase of the scientific method, the phase called "conclusion", where he will show the conclusions that the experiment allowed to be established.

Give one example of how the testing of Platismatia glauca could benefit future ecological research of this forest.
storchak [24]

Answer:

Testing Platismatia glauca could help scientists understand which pollutants have the largest effect on lichen populations. It also may help scientists understand the current pollutant levels in the atmosphere compared to the population of lichens on the trees. This information can help them more accurately predict population changes over time.

hope this helps:)
