There is evidence that the dinosaur Tyrannosaurus had feathers.
A phylogenetic tree, also known as a phylogeny, is a diagram that depicts the lines of evolutionary descent of different species, organisms, or genes from a common ancestor.
Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust. At a subduction zone, the oceanic crust usually sinks into the mantle beneath lighter continental crust. (Sometimes, oceanic crust may grow so old and that dense that it collapses and spontaneously forms a subduction zone, scientists think.)
Which term refers to a group of organisms that are known to be continuous with each other? Monobaramin. T/F: Species from one organisms can only breed with other members of other species, and cannot be cross-bred with other species or genera.
It began about 30,000 years ago, reached its greatest advance 21,000 years ago, and ended about 10,000 years ago. In the Sierra Nevada, these are three named stages of glacial maxima (sometimes incorrectly called ice ages) separated by warmer periods.
When an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate, the oceanic crust will always subduct under the continental crust; this is because oceanic crust is naturally denser. Convergent boundaries are commonly associated with larger earthquakes and higher volcanic activity.
Mid-ocean ridges and seafloor spreading can also influence sea levels. As oceanic crust moves away from the shallow mid-ocean ridges, it cools and sinks as it becomes more dense. This increases the volume of the ocean basin and decreases the sea level.
Oceanic crust is typically denser than continental crust and is forced downwards into the hot mantle when it collides with continental crust. The less dense conitinental crust is forced upward.
