Question

A team of geologists is surveying glaciers on a mountain. They come across a newly formed stream. The stream is flowing at an average rate of 420 cubic meters per minute. At the average rate of flow, the stream will produce 14,700 cubic meters of water in minutes.

Answer 1

Index fossils (also known as guide
fossils, indicator fossils or zone
fossils) are fossils used to define
and identify geologic periods (or
faunal stages).

Answer 2

14,700 ÷ 420 = 35 minutes!
