Using the same dating method (U235 and Pb207), the amount of Pb207 found in layer H is 75% and the amount of U235 found in layer I is 50%. For at least how many million years had the layer H been exposed on the surface to receive weathering and erosion before layer I started to form?

Larger rocks are slowly eroded away by the elements on Earth.
Question 3
A metamorphic rock can also be thought of as a rock that changes. What causes the rock to change?
Layers of sediment building up over time and pressing down, forming rock.
Rain, wind, freezing, thawing, and plant roots growing cause the rock to erode away, leaving behind
sediments.
Extreme heat and pressure from deep within Earth cause changes to the rock's appearance, structur
and composition.
The rock slowly changes into a new rock over time.
Qestion4
Based on the context in paragraph 4, fossil refers to
how igneous rocks were formed over time
the remains of dead plants and animals settle to the bottom of an ocean or lake and are covered by
mud
a trace or print, or the remains of a plant or animal of a past age preserved…
