What is an index fossil, and why is it helpful in determining relative age?
An index fossil is the fossil of an organism that is widely distributed (not just found in a limited area) and lived only a short period of time. Because they live only a short period of time but are found all over the place, they are helpful in telling the relative ages of the rocks in which they occur.

How do scientists know the age of the Earth?
The oldest rocks found on Earth have been radioactively dated at about 4 billion years old. However, the oldest moon rocks, also radioactively dated, are 4.6 billion years old. Scientists hypothesize that the Earth and moon are the same age, because they believe that the moon is a piece from the Earth that broke off when Earth collided with a large object just as it was forming.

When breeders produce a new breed by selecting desired traits and only allowing those individuals to breed.
What is Selective Breeding

What word goes with the following definition-The process by which substances in gaseous, liquid or solid form dissolve or mix with other substances
absorption

What are some conditions under which entire organisms might be preserved?
Organisms were preserved with little or no change if they became trapped in tar (organisms sometimes fell in tar pits looking for water), if they were frozen (trapped in ice), or if they were preserved in amber (hardened resin, or tree sap, from evergreen trees).

What does GMO's stand for
G- genetically M- modified F- foods

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred from one form to another.
What is the law of conservation of energy
300
This occurs when species occur in the same area but they occupy different habitats and rarely encounter one another so they do not breed.
What is Ecological Isolation

If you mix a strong acid with water what would happen?
the acid would get weaker

Why is it impossible to find the absolute age of sedimentary rocks? Why is this a problem, and how is the problem overcome?
There are many small pieces of sediment that make up a sedimentary rock, so there is no one age for the rock. This is a problem, because fossils are only found in sedimentary rock, and we can't find the absolute age of it. However, paleontologists can find the absolute age of nearby igneous intrusions/extrusions and then use the Law of Superposition to determine the age of the sedimentary rock layers.
