Please help its due today and im literally crying bc im s stressed out 5 questions 2 points each if you answer them the correct way (all of them you will get brainliest)
1. In 2-3 sentences, summarize how variation impacts natural selection.
2. In 3-5 sentences, define the Law of Superposition and analyze how this law helps scientists determine the age of rocks and fossils.
3. In 3-5 sentences, explain why and how scientists created the geologic time scale.
4. In 2-3 sentences, identify the two models of speciation and analyze how they differ.
5. In 2-3 sentences, explain what the discovery of fossil palm tree stumps in Alaska and fossil alligator remains in the Arctic Circle indicates.

Sooo sorry for the late answer, but I hope it helps

Explanation:

1. Successful variations accumulate over the generations as the organisms are exposed to population pressure. "Natural Selection acts exclusively by the preservation and accumulation of variations which are beneficial under the conditions to which each creature is exposed.

2.The age of fossils are determined by carbon dating and by radioactive calculations. Since all living things are made up of carbon, the relative age of fossils, which were once live animal or plant life, can be calculated by estimating at what time the fossil was alive. When the sun’s rays shine on the animals or plants and when this collides with nitrogen it creates Carbon 14, a radioisotope. Superposition is the action of placing one thing on or above another, especially so that they coincide.

3. The geologic time scale if the record of the major events and changes in earth. Scientists created this in order to keep with the major geographical things happening on earth. Scientists created the geologic time scale using relative dating.

4.  Speciation is the method of formation of new species. Speciation is of 3 types. Type 1 Allopatric Speciation Type 2 Sympatric Speciation.

Sympatric speciation happens when members of a population develop genetic differences that prevent them from reproducing with the parent type. Allopatric speciation is the evolution of species in a population that occupy different geographical areas.

5. The discovery of fossil palm tree stumps in Alaska and the unearthing of fossil alligator remains in the Arctic Circle suggested that the high latitudes were a tropical landscape 52 million years ago.

the total distance that martina travels that day is

(distance from home to mom's office) plus (distance from mom's office to school)

plus (distance from school to library) plus (distance from library to friend's house)

plus (distance from friend's house to martina's house).

(we don't know what any of these distance actually is.)
