What is evolution
What is a index fossil and as a bonus what are the 3 things that make a good index fossil
What is another way to correlate outcrops because they are good geologic time markers What is easily recognizable, the specimen lived for a short amount of geologic time and they were widespread geographically.
Which line shows temperature and which line shows pressure?
What is isotherms and isobars
What is the difference between a hurricane and a tornado?
What is tornadoes form over land, while hurricanes form over warm water and occur less frequently than tornadoes. They differ significantly in size. Tornadoes are less than a quarter mile wide, while hurricanes can span hundreds of miles.

What is eurypterus and no we can not use it due to its large half life.
